Packers Legend Brett Favre Demands NFL Cancel and Publicly Criticizes NFL for Choosing Bad Bunny to Perform in the Super Bowl Halftime Show, send 7 word message to Bad Bunny
Green Bay, October 9, 2025
The NFL community is reeling from a bold outburst by Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre, who has fiercely criticized the league’s decision to select Latin star Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl 60 halftime show. His call to cancel the performance has ignited a firestorm of debate.
The controversy flared after Bad Bunny’s SNL appearance last weekend, where he quipped, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn,” responding to backlash over his Spanish-only Super Bowl set. Favre, a three-time MVP and Super Bowl XXXI champion, slammed the choice in a Pittsburgh press conference.
“I’ve got no beef with music or artists, but the Super Bowl is the soul of American football,” Favre declared. “It’s not a platform for someone to challenge fans to learn a new language. The NFL should honor its football heritage.” He also sent a 7-word message to Bad Bunny: “Stick to music, leave football alone.”
Favre’s stance has sparked a heated divide. Supporters argue the Super Bowl should reflect the sport’s competitive essence, not turn into a “glitzy music spectacle” that overshadows its prestige. Critics counter that the halftime show has long blended music and athletics, with global stars like Bad Bunny boosting the NFL’s international reach.
Bad Bunny’s massive Latin fanbase could expand the NFL’s market, a vision Favre’s critique challenges. The hashtag #SupportFavre is trending on X, reflecting fan engagement and a shift in public discourse.
As Super Bowl 2026 looms, Favre’s words place the NFL at a crossroads: embrace inclusivity or heed a Packers icon’s call. His voice, decades after retiring, still commands attention in the football world
