GOP lawmaker, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), is calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to investigate the broadcast of the Super Bowl LX halftime after Puerto Rican performer Bad Bunny delivered an almost entirely Spanish-language performance allegedly with some questionable language included.
Lawmakers allege that when Bad Bunny’s Spanish lyrics were translated into English, they were “shocking and vulgar,” and that if such language had been performed in English, the broadcast would have been pulled from the air and fines would have followed.
Social media warriors counter the allegation by claiming the explicit words were not actually used in the Super Bowl performance. Critics say that even without the lyrics, the sexual nature of the performance still crosses the line.
In a public statement, Rep. Fine said critics couldn’t believe what they heard:
“Bad Bunny”‘s disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics — and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous. Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules. We are sending @BrendanCarrFCC a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the @NFL @nbc, and “Bad Bunny.” Lock them up.
He revealed that his office is sending a letter to FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr urging “dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews” against the NFL, NBC — which carried the Super Bowl on broadcast TV — and Bad Bunny himself.
