NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said earlier this week that he believed Bad Bunny understood the platform that comes with the halftime show and hoped the performer would unite fans rather than create more division. Former NFL star Robert Griffin III shared the same sentiments.
“One thing I know Bad Bunny can do is he can make us all tap our feet and shake our booties. I want him to go out there and unite people with music,” he told Pakinomist Digital Saturday night ahead of Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl party. “Music we can all dance to and enjoy. So I’m looking forward to the show. I’m not worried about politics. I’m not worried about any statements. Just have a good time and do what you gotta do and unite the world around something that’s eternal. Music is the heartbeat of the world.”
