US Congressmen Demand Punishment for Bad Bunny and Super Bowl Organizers

Republican Congressman from Missouri Mark Alford announced that his colleagues are already 'investigating' in Congress Bad Bunny's performance. The lawmaker stated in an interview with the conservative channel Real America's Voice that 'this could be worse' than the incident with singer Janet Jackson's nipple at the 2004 Super Bowl. 'I don't speak Spanish fluently, I know how to ask where the bathroom is, but these lyrics, if what was said on national television is true, we have a lot of questions for the entities that broadcast these, and we will be talking with Brendan Carr of the FCC about this,' he said. These calls reflect the growing indignation of Republicans against Bad Bunny's halftime show, which President Donald Trump called 'one of the worst in history' and an 'affront to the greatness' of the United States. Carr, the head of the FCC, has in the past called on the media to align with the Administration, as in September 2025, when he warned of measures against ABC, including reviewing their licenses, if they did not punish comedian Jimmy Kimmel for his comments about the murder of conservative Charlie Kirk. 'Lock them up,' the Florida district congressman posted on social media. The congressman included English translations of Bad Bunny's songs with words like 'dick', 'ass', and 'fuck', which cannot be expressed on open television, although in concerts like the one on Sunday the singers avoid these words to respect the rules. He was joined by Andy Ogles, a federal congressman from Tennessee, who sent a letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee to request a formal investigation into the NFL and NBC for 'facilitating this indecent broadcast' by considering that the music 'glorifies sodomy and other unspeakable depravities.' 'Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sex, women explicitly shaking their bodies, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while rubbing in the air,' Ogles argued when sharing a letter on X.

Republican congressmen have been calling since last Monday for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States to 'fine' and 'lock up' Bad Bunny and executives from the NFL and NBC, arguing that the Super Bowl halftime show included profanities and 'unspeakable depravations.' Congressman Randy Fine demanded sanctions, considering the show 'illegal' because, in his opinion, it included words that, when translated into English, would warrant suspending the broadcast, plus 'all the other unpleasant pornographic filth' of the show. 'We are sending a letter to Brendan Carr (head of the FCC) to ask for dramatic action, including fines and review of broadcast licenses against the NFL, NBC, and 'Bad Bunny',' EFE reported.
