The post Danica Patrick proposes alternate Super Bowl halftime show amid Bad Bunny announcement<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Danica Paterck is standing by her previous opinion on whether Bad Bunny<\/a> should headline the Super Bowl halftime show, given that his songs are primarily in Spanish.<\/p>\n The former race car driver was a guest on Steve Bannon\u2019s War Room podcast on Friday, Oct. 3 where she doubled down on her opinions.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe Super Bowl is the most highly-watched show that we have on television in the whole year,\u201d Patrick said. \u201c127 million people are estimated to watch it. It\u2019s the crown jewel on television and in sports, in particular. It\u2019s where we come together as a country. We enjoy it, we have parties, we love watching the halftime performance. We know we love to sing along to the halftime performance, and it\u2019s usually one of those that\u2019s very versatile across so many different age ranges.\u201d<\/p>\n Patrick clarified that her stance on whether Bad Bunny should perform has to do with that the songs are in Spanish, not that he was born in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t have any problem with someone performing at halftime that is not from the United States, although Bad Bunny is technically a citizen because he was born in Puerto Rico,\u201d she continued. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t necessarily born in America. I don\u2019t care where you\u2019re actually born. What I care about is that I can sing along to the music. His music is almost nothing in English.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cI don\u2019t think it will be as much fun. I don\u2019t think it will be as uniting. What I would hate to see is that it would divide us again, in yet another way.\u201d<\/p>\n Patrick is proposing that an alternate show be made so that others can sing a long.<\/p>\n \u201cTo say, \u2018Look, if you don\u2019t want to watch a halftime performance and watch Bad Bunny, come watch this,\u2019\u201d Patrick said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s probably going to be tempting, even for me. Because I like to watch a great performance and I like to sing along.\u201d<\/p>\n This statement is not new coming from Patrick and she previously spoke her opinion on the matter last week when it was announced. She turned to X to write how she really feels about Bad Bunny as the headliner.<\/p>\n \u201cOh fun,\u201d Patrick wrote. \u201cNo songs in English should not be allowed<\/a> at one of America\u2019s highest rated television events of the year \u2026 not just for sports.\u201d<\/p>\n When Patrick first criticized Bad Bunny last week, X users quickly called the former race car driver out.<\/p>\n \u201cDanica Patrick is PEAK example of white feminism<\/a> and she should have never been platformed as a representative for girls in sports when she\u2019s a bigot at heart. that is not promoting inclusion at all. it\u2019s promoting the Good Boys Club once AGAIN,\u201d one X user wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cDanica patrick setting women in motorsports <\/a>back 800 years one tweet at a time,\u201d another X user wrote.<\/p>\n Despite the backlash that Bad Bunny has faced following the announcement<\/a>, the rapper shares what his presence on the biggest stage is not just for him but for his culture.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019m feeling goes beyond myself. It\u2019s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown\u2026 this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny will make history as the first Latino male to perform solo at the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n The 2026 Super Bowl will be on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n Related: Taylor Swift breaks silence on magical Travis Kelce proposal<\/a><\/em><\/p>\nDanica Patrick gets backlash for Bad Bunny tweet regarding the Super Bowl halftime show<\/h2>\n
