In a heartfelt post shared on social media, Gleason wrote: “The Super Bowl isn’t just a football game — it’s a global celebration of culture. Having Bad Bunny perform is not a mistake; it’s proof of how sports, music, and emotion can connect people. The NFL is opening its heart, and that’s a beautiful thing.” He continued: “I’ve seen New Orleans rise from devastation through the power of community and music. If Bad Bunny can bring that same energy to the Super Bowl stage, let him do it. Music can heal and inspire — just like football has done for all of us.” Gleason’s thoughtful remarks spread rapidly across social media, with fans and journalists alike praising him as “a voice of compassion and progress.” Even some who initially criticized the decision admitted that Gleason had captured the heart of the issue.
