The Super Bowl halftime show was once an American cultural centerpiece. Families could gather around the television, enjoy the game and celebrate what made this nation unique. But in recent years the NFL has turned its most-watched spectacle into a stage for moral confusion and cultural decline. The selection of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny for the 2026 halftime show is the latest and perhaps most blatant insult to both America and biblical values.
A Performer Who Represents Rebellion
Bad Bunny is not simply a global music star. He has built his brand on rebellion. Known for crossdressing, kissing male dancers and performing sexually charged routines, he has been hailed as a “queer icon” by progressive outlets. His videos have been praised by LGBT media for promoting gender-bending imagery and his concerts regularly include shocking visuals many would describe as demonic.

Is this really the image the NFL wants to beam into millions of American homes? Once again it seems the league would rather embrace rebellion against God’s design than celebrate what is good true and honorable.
Anti-American Messaging
Beyond the moral issues Bad Bunny has openly taken aim at the United States. He previously vowed not to perform in the continental U.S. because of immigration enforcement policies yet the NFL is rewarding him with the most American stage of all. In his music video “NUEVAYoL” he even depicts the Statue of Liberty draped with a Puerto Rican flag as a scene of cultural conquest not unity.

At a time when Americans long for unity tradition and respect for their country the NFL is signaling that it will side with globalist politics and cultural subversion over patriotism.
A Spiritual Issue at the Core
As Christians we recognize that this is not simply about poor taste in entertainment. Scripture tells us in Ephesians 6:12 that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world.” The halftime show has become less about music and more about pushing an agenda that glorifies darkness while mocking God’s created order.
Even many of Bad Bunny’s own fans and concert goers have pointed out the disturbing use of demonic figures and imagery at his shows. When the audience itself is calling out what looks like evil on display it should be a wake-up call that this is more than just edgy art. It is spiritual warfare playing out in real time on the biggest stage in America.
Bad Bunny is a demonic Marxist who was been granted the largest stage with the greatest audience in the middle of a Christian revival. This is by design. We are in a spiritual war and once you see it you can’t unsee it. pic.twitter.com/sEMfKIPbiC

When a performer is praised for crossdressing celebrated for shocking audiences with perversion and platforms occult imagery for mass consumption we should not be surprised. The world has exchanged the truth of God for a lie just as Romans 1:25 tells us.
A Call for Discernment
The NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny is not just anti-family anti-God and anti-American. It is a declaration of where our culture is headed. Christians must not shrug this off as “just entertainment.” What we allow into our homes shapes the next generation.
Instead of applauding rebellion we must pray for discernment, stand boldly for biblical truth and continue to remind this nation of the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Bad Bunny’s halftime show may be cheered by the culture but it will be yet another moment when America turns its back on the values that once made her strong. For Christians and patriots alike it is time to recognize the battle we are in, a battle for the soul of our nation.
