Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre announced on social media that he will not be watching this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance with Latin trap artist Bad Bunny.
Instead, Favre said he would tune in to the alternative “All-American” halftime show presented by Turning Point USA (TPUSA).
“Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. Just want to see what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show,” Favre wrote on X.

Favre joins the growing list of sports and political figures to declare that they will watch TPUSA’s show instead of the official halftime show. Many conservatives, including fellow NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and former ESPN host Sage Steele, have expressed displeasure and concern over the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny for this year’s performance due to the performers’ “woke” beliefs.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the president Donald Trump would see the “All-American” halftime show on Sunday, which is headlined by country/rock artist Kid Rock.

“I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance to Bad Bunny. I have to say that,” Leavitt told reporters at Thursday’s White House press briefing.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended having Bad Bunny as a performer.
“Look, Bad Bunny is, and I think it was demonstrated last night, one of the great performers in the world, and that’s one of the reasons we chose him,” Goodell said. “But the other reason is that he understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that, and I think artists in the past have done that.
