49ers CEO Jed York Sharply Criticizes Bad Bunny, Urges NFL to Replace His Super Bowl 2026 Performance at Levi’s Stadium After Refusal to Stand for “God Bless America”

Santa Clara, California – The atmosphere surrounding Super Bowl 60 is hotter than ever, not because of the game, but because of the halftime performer. After a video of Bad Bunny sitting during “God Bless America” at Yankee Stadium went viral and sparked outrage, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York has publicly issued a strong condemnation, urging the NFL to reconsider the singer’s performance and replace it with another act.

“I don’t want my stadium to become the center of division,” York stated candidly to local media. “Levi’s Stadium is a symbol of sportsmanship, unity, and American pride. I don’t want to see boos, political arguments, or disrespect associated with this place.”

York emphasized that the Super Bowl is not just a sporting event but an image of America broadcast to hundreds of countries, and he does not want his home stadium to serve as the backdrop for a negative social debate.

“I respect all cultures, but when you stand on America’s biggest stage, you must respect this flag, this song, and those who have sacrificed for this country,” York added.

According to internal sources, Jed York has sent an official letter to the NFL office, expressing his desire to consider replacing Bad Bunny with an artist “more aligned with the Super Bowl’s spirit.”

His actions have been praised by many 49ers fans and media as “a courageous step,” while social media is ablaze with heated debates over whether the NFL should allow Bad Bunny to perform.

If the NFL accepts this proposal, Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium (Santa Clara) will not only be a major game but also a clear statement about American values and pride.
