The Issue

There is a current movement to replace Bad Bunny with a more "American" artist, George Straight, and it has over 35000 signatures to date. However, for generations, Puerto Ricans have been an integral part of the American story, serving valiantly in every major conflict since before Puerto Rico officially became a U.S. territory. The remarkable history of the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as "The Borinqueneers," is a testament to this longstanding commitment. Today, approximately 50,000 Puerto Ricans serve in the U.S. military, contributing significantly to our national security and embodying the very spirit of what it means to be American.

Puerto Rico, while perhaps distant in miles, is close in heart. It is an American territory, and Puerto Ricans are American citizens. With its rich cultural heritage and vibrant traditions, Puerto Rico represents the diversity that makes America truly great. It is time for this diversity to be celebrated on a stage as prominent as the Super Bowl half-time show by featuring Bad Bunny, an artist who is not just a Puerto Rican sensation, but a global superstar influencing music and culture worldwide.

In showcasing Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl would not only honor a talented artist but also acknowledge and celebrate the cultural contributions of Puerto Ricans and their unyielding dedication to the United States. This act would stand as a powerful statement for inclusivity and recognition, reaffirming that American identity encompasses a multitude of cultures and voices.

By keeping Bad Bunny as the performer for the Super Bowl half-time show, we stay true to American tradition, recognizing and celebrating the diversity that binds us together as a nation. Let's honor the sacrifices, contributions, and the cultural richness of Puerto Ricans by supporting this call to action.

Join us in urging the NFL and all other stakeholders to keep Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl half-time show performer. Sign this petition to be part of this important movement towards cultural acknowledgment and celebration.
