"Listen, Bad Bunny is and I think that was demonstrated last night one of the great artists in the world, and that's one of the reasons we chose him. But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on, and that this platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents, and to be able to use this moment to do that."
"And I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he'll have a great performance. Roger Goodell is asked whether or not there will be any ICE enforcement operations at the Super Bowl and also addresses Bad Bunny's remarks about ICE at last night's Grammy Awards."
Roger Goodell defended the choice of Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl Halftime performer and praised the artist's talent and understanding of the platform's unifying role. Goodell cited Bad Bunny's recent Grammy appearance as evidence of his stature and said artists can use the halftime stage to bring people together through creativity and talent. Conservatives criticized the selection because of Bad Bunny's prior criticisms of the Trump administration, prompting Speaker Mike Johnson to call the choice terrible and President Trump to say he will not attend. Bad Bunny previously excluded U.S. tour stops citing fears of ICE harassment of fans and spoke out against ICE while accepting a Grammy. Goodell was asked about ICE enforcement at the Super Bowl and addressed those remarks.
