Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Demands NFL Cancel and Publicly Criticizes NFL for Choosing Bad Bunny to Perform in the Super Bowl Halftime Show

Foxborough, MA – October 2, 2025 – The American football world has just been shaken by the frank statements from the owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft. In a storm-causing declaration, Kraft has publicly criticized the NFL's choice in allowing Latin music star Bad Bunny to become the main artist of the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.

According to many sources, Robert Kraft clearly showed his frustration when stating that inviting Bad Bunny to appear at the world's largest sports event goes too far compared to the traditional spirit of football. In the press conference, he was harsh but still maintained decorum before the media:

“I respect the music and the artists, but the Super Bowl is football, not a circus. Fans come to the stadium to witness top-notch sportsmanship, to see explosive plays, not some wacky spectacle that detracts from the spirit of football. The NFL needs to remember that.”

This statement immediately sparked a lively wave of debate. Some people support Kraft's viewpoint, arguing that the Super Bowl should focus on football and the spirit of sportsmanship. They believe that the halftime show has been turned into a “giant music show” instead of maintaining the solemnity of the NFL championship game.

On the contrary, not a few people oppose it, asserting that the Super Bowl Halftime Show has long become an American cultural icon, where music and sports blend together. Inviting stars of the caliber of Bad Bunny helps expand the global audience, bringing immense appeal and commercial value to the league.

The situation became even more tense when Kraft is said to have issued a warning “will consider withdrawing the Patriots from the event if the NFL does not reconsider the decision.” Although there is no official evidence of this, the rumor alone has been enough to stir up the media and the fan community.

The Super Bowl has always been the center of American sports and culture, but with the recent statement, Robert Kraft has pushed the NFL into a difficult position: stick to the decision to affirm openness, or yield to one of the most powerful owners in the league.

Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain: Kraft's statement has turned the Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show into the hottest topic in the football world these days.
