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!👏🏽

[merri howard @merrieats]

Oh @AmericanAir seems we are not the only ones unhappy.

[Kelly Baumgardner @kelly_kbaumgar]

I don’t care about the football game but i do care that when an 82 yo asks your rep directly what is happening with her flight, she shouldn’t have to decipher a joke. you can call it my fault for flying her on this Sunday but @AmericanAir shouldn’t be rude

[merri howard @merrieats]

@AmericanAir How can we DM you? Yes @AmericanAir needs to make this wrong right!!! Customer relations/service was not a high point today.

[merri howard @merrieats]

Shame on @AmericanAir today. My nephew flew LA - Dallas connecting to Columbus, Ohio. Sat in Dallas for 8 hr delay flight #2337. No other flights to get back to school today. Flight was just canceled. No one to help make alternate plans. Now awaits flight on Southwest in the a.m.
