Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.
Not Bad Bunny.
Not Benito.
His real name.
His family name.
Then he grabbed the mic and said:
“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”
In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.
And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.
Because the message was that important to me.
They said he was “un-American.”
They said nobody would understand him.
They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”
And he SHOWED OUT!
He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
He staged a wedding on the field.
He recreated a bodega.
He gave us a whole scene of family and love.
He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.
All in his native language.
And he didn’t flinch.
His lyrics were clear messages:
“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”
“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”
And that last line:
“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”
Hopefully my loved ones will never move.
That’s about families being separated.
Forced to leave.
Displacement.
Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.
He made the mainstream come to him.
He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.
And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽
Green Day’s performance was underwhelming..so many videos of them saying “don’t wanna be apart of the maga agenda” or “fuck trump fuck kkk no fascist USA” just for them to throw on a normal performance at the most viewed event in the United States. #greenday#SuperBowl
if you only support abortion in instances of rape or incest
you are reinforcing that in order for a woman to have a right to her own body.. someone else must violate it first.
I think men are becoming too content with being useless. You guys literally Can’t fix shit, can’t build, don’t pay for shit , struggling to plan dates . Like what are you really here for??
@EricLDaugh So Florida just legalized bringing back measles, polio, and smallpox in the name of freedom
Guess your body, your choice only applies when it makes good headlines
Hope everyone’s cool with their kids being the test dummies for diseases our grandparents died fighting
the american flag colors, all black dancers, samuel l jackson as uncle sam. LIKE WHY ARENT WE TALKING ABOUT THIS. i get the a minor shit is cool but kendrick actually used this opportunity to say something, that is so unbelievably huge.
I am sure Canadians would love to give up their affordable education, full year of paid parental leave, abortion rights, and stronger financial institutions just to become our 51st state and worry about mass shootings at their kids schools and churches like the rest of us.
