Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre announced on social media that he won’t be watching this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance featuring Latin trap artist Bad Bunny.
Instead, Favre said he would tune into the alternative “All-American” halftime show presented by Turning Point USA (TPUSA).
“Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show,” Favre wrote on X.

Favre joins the growing list of sports and political figures to declare they will be watching the TPUSA’s show instead of the official halftime show. Many conservatives, including fellow NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and former ESPN host Sage Steele, have expressed displeasure and concern over the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny for this year’s performance due to the artists “woke” beliefs.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump would be watching the “All-American” halftime show on Sunday, which is headlined by country/rock artist Kid Rock.

“I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny. I must say that,” Leavitt told reporters at Thursday’s White House press briefing.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended having Bad Bunny as the performer.
“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,” Goodell said. “But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on and 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.

Brett Favre reveals he’s boycotting Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show… three months after urging the NFL to ‘pick someone who loves our country’
By OLIVER SALT, US ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Brett Favre says he won’t be watching Bad Bunny perform at the Super Bowl as he plans to tune in for Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show instead.
Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, will finally take to the stage in Santa Clara as the Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots on Sunday night, five months after his unveiling as the musical act for Super Bowl LX sparked uproar.
A number of Americans are set to boycott the Puerto Rican rapper’s performance due to his anti-Donald Trump stance, as well as the fact that virtually all of his songs are in Spanish.
Amid the outrage over Benito, Turning Point USA – the nonprofit organization founded by late MAGA activist Charlie Kirk – has put together its own halftime show headlined by legendary country rock singer Kid Rock for more conservative viewers.
And one person who will be opting for Kid Rock over Bad Bunny is Favre, who revealed his thought process on social media.
‘Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad,’ the Super Bowl champion wrote on X. ‘I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.’

Anti-ICE group inspired by Bad Bunny plot Super Bowl protest
When Bad Bunny was announced as the halftime act in September, Favre hit out at the NFL’s decision and argued the honor should have been given to someone who ‘loves this country and that everyone could relate to’.
The Latino artist has previously spoken out against the Trump administration and cited ICE agents as a reason why he did not include any mainland US dates for his tour – before once again calling out the federal law enforcement group at the 2026 Grammys last weekend.
‘Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE Out,’ Bad Bunny said after winning an award.
He received a massive ovation from the crowd before he continued: ‘We are not savage. We are not animals. We are not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.
‘The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love.
‘We don’t hate them, we love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love.’
Favre is not the only NFL legend to question the decision to pick Bad Bunny, nevertheless.
Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson previously claimed he would rather see anyone else perform the halftime show over Benito following the controversial unveiling in September.

The Puerto Rican rapper has frequently expressed disdain for Trump’s immigration policies
And just days out from Super Bowl LX he doubled down by saying: ‘Why can’t we get somebody from right here, from home? How about someone from right here in San Francisco? All these artists right here in the area to play at the Super Bowl.
‘I don’t see why they chose that,’ he added. ‘But the NFL does things that just baffle your mind, so.’
He went on to question how a Spanish-language show would connect with a wider national audience.
Dickerson also fired back when told that Puerto Rico is American, stressing that it was a ‘territory’ of the United States and that Puerto Ricans don’t have the right to vote.
