Gregg Popovich said, “It’s your job to make me play you.”
Playing time is earned.
A victim mindset says…I didn’t play because coach doesn’t like me.
A winning mindset says…I didn’t play because I haven’t earned it yet.
Don��t be a victim.
"HAY QUE SENTIRSE ORGULLOSO, BENITO LE CANTÓ EN ESPAÑOL A LA FIESTA MÁS IMPORTANTE DE LOS AMERICANOS" 🥺

It’s emotional to see our beloved immigrant-owned business, @VillasTacosLA get their well-deserved flowers on the Super Bowl stage, especially at a time when our Latinx communities are under constant attack. We must remember that there is nothing more powerful than our unity. Thank you, Bad Bunny, for sharing your culture with us and making us feel like we belong.
In my final post about #BadBunny’s #SuperBowl half time show:
whoever was around in the end of 90s and early 2000s, surely remember the phenomenon #RickyMartin was in the U.S. and Europe. The #LivinLaVidaLoca craze was one of the biggest I’ve seen in my lifetime, something not even #BadBunny himself got close yet. And even at that level, and despite singing in English for the Anglo markets, #RickyMartin was never in a stage of the #SuperBowl . Even being bigger than anyone else in his peak wasn’t big enough for a Latino to be front and Center on that stage.
Just few years ago, the #SuperBowl still thought even freaking #Shakira wasn’t big enough for their stage so she would just be allowed there if sharing the space with #JLo.
That’s how far we came to see,in 2026, a Latino like #BadBunny singing in Spanish as the main act of the event.
And the fact that Benito brought #RickyMartin, who opened the doors for the latino stars to do the crossover & compete on the same level as the English speaking mega pop stars, to this stage, was a beautiful recognition of the role Ricky had played for almost 30 years ago so this moment could be even possible today. And in a way, a reparation.
TONIGHT was live history in so many levels.
Again, #BadBunny could have made this concert all about himself, about his momentum, his career peek. But the choices and decisions he made for this show, way beyond himself, are what exactly will perpetuate the legacy and importance of this moment.
The couple that portrayed themseves getting married during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED FOR REAL during the halftime performance.
They asked Bad Bunny to come to their wedding and he declined, only to invite them to get married diring his Super Bowl halftime performance.
THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.
YOU LOVE TO SEE IT.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show reminded millions of viewers of something geography never forgot:
America is a continent. The United States is just one country in it.
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!👏🏽
