Dallas Cowboys Owner Blasts Bad Bunny for “Disrespectful Act” — Vows to Block His Super Bowl Halftime Show

A Patriotic Storm Erupts
What began as a routine playoff night in New York has now exploded into one of the week’s most heated controversies — and this time, it’s not about baseball. Cameras caught global superstar Bad Bunny sitting through “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch of the Yankees vs. Blue Jays ALDS game.

As thousands of fans stood to honor the patriotic song, the Puerto Rican artist remained seated, chatting casually with friends. The moment, captured on video and quickly circulated online, sparked immediate outrage. Many saw it as an act of disrespect toward the United States — and among those most angered was none other than Jerry Jones, the powerful owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out
Within hours of the video going viral, Jones issued a rare and fiery statement that left no room for interpretation. “When you enjoy the privilege of this country — its freedom, its success, its fans — you stand in respect when the nation’s song plays,” Jones said firmly. “If you can’t do that, maybe you shouldn’t be performing on its biggest stage.”

The “biggest stage,” of course, refers to Super Bowl 60, where Bad Bunny is slated to headline the halftime show. But according to Jones, that performance may now be in jeopardy. “I will do everything in my power to make sure someone who disrespects our flag, our people, and our values doesn’t get to stand under the NFL spotlight,” he added.

Fans Back the Cowboy Boss

Following Jones’s remarks, a wave of support poured in from patriotic fans and fellow NFL figures. Many echoed his frustration, saying Bad Bunny’s silence and inaction were “tone-deaf” and “un-American.”

“Jerry Jones said what we’re all thinking,” one fan commented online. “You can have talent, fame, and success — but if you can’t stand for ‘God Bless America’, then you don’t deserve the Super Bowl stage.”

Others noted that this isn’t the first time Bad Bunny has been accused of political provocation. The artist, who has been outspoken about immigration policies and U.S. government actions in Puerto Rico, has long drawn both praise and criticism for his activism.

Super Bowl Backlash Intensifies

The controversy couldn’t have come at a worse time. Just days ago, the NFL officially confirmed Bad Bunny as the headline performer for Super Bowl 60 — a move already dividing fans across the country.

Critics, including some political leaders, had already questioned the league’s decision, citing his history of anti-establishment comments and limited English-language repertoire. Now, with the Yankee Stadium incident fueling patriotic outrage, calls to replace him are growing louder.

House Speaker Mike Johnson even joined the conversation, suggesting that country icon Lee Greenwood, famous for “God Bless the USA,” would be a more fitting performer. “That’s the kind of message America needs at halftime,” Johnson said in an interview Wednesday.

Bad Bunny Remains Silent
As of Thursday morning, Bad Bunny has not publicly addressed the incident — a silence that many interpret as arrogance, while others see it as strategic restraint. Sources close to his team reportedly described the Yankee Stadium outing as a “casual night out” and denied any political motive.

But for Jerry Jones, that explanation doesn’t hold water. “There’s a time for entertainment and a time for respect,” he said. “When that song plays, you stand up. Period.”

What Happens Next?

Whether the NFL will reconsider its Super Bowl halftime lineup remains to be seen, but insiders say the backlash has already reached the league’s front offices. “The phones have been ringing off the hook,” one anonymous executive revealed. “Fans are angry, and sponsors are paying attention.”

For now, Bad Bunny’s camp is reportedly “monitoring the situation,” while Jerry Jones’s stance has only hardened. “This isn’t about politics,” he said. “It’s about pride. And as long as I have a say in this league, I’ll stand for the flag — even if some stars won’t.”

A Clash of Worlds
What started as a baseball game may now shape the future of the NFL’s biggest entertainment event. On one side stands a global music icon whose influence spans continents. On the other, one of America’s most powerful sports owners defending what he calls “the heart of the nation.”

As Super Bowl 60 approaches, the question isn’t just whether Bad Bunny will perform — but whether Jerry Jones and millions of patriotic fans will let him.
