Levi Stadium in San Francisco, site of the Super Bowl, will be extended to a seating capacity of 75-80,000 seats tomorrow. If this idiot who calls himself Bad Bunny imposes his looney gay lifestyle on the fans by wearing a dress, and simultaneously dousing the fans with some very loud Puerto Rican music, then yes, he is very liable to be booed right off the stage.
Nothing like getting up front of an audience of 80,000 people and having the majority booing you with everything they've got.
So let's examine this. First of all, the average American, or football fan, doesn't think very highly of homosexuality, and most are probably disgusted by it.
Secondly, despite the fact that Puerto Rico is a territory of the USA, nevertheless, its music is VERY foreign to most Americans. Some folks might say well, the game is in the San Francisco Bay area (Santa Clara), which has a large Mexican American population, so maybe there will be a lot of Latino, Spanish speaking people who can understand the words of Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican songs. OK, so maybe some part of the crowd can speak/understand Spanish. As a part Mexican person myself who speaks Spanish, who lived in the San Francisco Bay area and Mexico combined, for a total of 17 years, I can tell you that generally Mexicans (in Mexico or California) utterly HATE Puerto Rican music. They are just as liable to boo Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican music as anybody else. Mexican music is more aligned with Spain (which has very beautiful, soft guitar music & melody oriented) in contrast to the Caribbean styles that are more African, & heavy drumming.
Having listened briefly to about 10 BB songs just before this OP (because I had never heard any before), I would say that BB's style is quite a bit softer than a lot of the Puerto Rican (and Caribbean) music I've heard in the past, which were all very heavy & loud with constant drumming, and a huge emphasis of rhythm over melody. Cant forget the party I went to in New York City, where a college girl invited 22 people, including 7 Puerto Ricans who came early and took over the stereo with Puerto Rican records. Within 15 minutes into the party, the living room had that host girl and the 7 Puerto Rican kids she invited. In the bedroom (door closed) were the other 15 all squashed in, but happy to be anywhere but in that living room with those boistrous bongos knocking their ears off.
While BB's songs may be a bit softer than the raucous songs of that party, they still have a very Caribbean sound, that most Americans, Mexicans, and many others would not be comfortable listening to, for a half hour or however long this halftime show is scheduled for.
Adding to these unwelcomes is also BB's remarks at the Grammy Awards bashing ICE, who most Americans support and respect.
People watching the Super Bowl on TV have the advantage of being able to switch to another channel for the duration of the halftime. But those in the stadium are literally trapped in their seats (although they could wear shooting ear covers).
One might say it could be rude to the entertainer to do that, but no more rude than BB showing up in a dress, with FOREIGN music, and imposing his multiculturalist ideology on the entire crowd.
Maybe we'll all get lucky and there will be a torrential, soaking downpour for just that half hour.
Or maybe we'll just get to see/hear Rosali'a , whose music is rooted in Spain, and more easy on the ears, IMO.
