*NFL fans are once again voicing frustration over the league’s Super Bowl halftime decision, this time rallying behind Snoop Dogg as an alternative.
After Bad Bunny was announced as the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, backlash quickly followed. Many fans argued that the choice doesn’t appeal to the broad audience that watches the game each year. The criticism grew in September, leading to a petition demanding a replacement. While the Grammy-winning Puerto Rican artist has a massive global following, some viewers claim his music doesn’t connect with the NFL’s core fanbase.
The petition emphasized that the issue was not personal, but about inclusivity and reach. “I want to be clear I do not condone any racism or hateful behavior connected to this petition. I have no issue with Bad Bunny as an artist he is talented and successful. My concern is simply about the Super Bowl halftime show needing an act with broader appeal across genres and audiences rather than leaning into one lane that may not connect with the majority of viewers,” the petition on change.org reads.
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the most iconic events in entertainment, drawing millions of viewers from all around the globe. For decades, it has been a platform to celebrate music that unites people, offering a shared experience that brings together fans from different backgrounds, tastes, and cultures,” the message states.

As the debate continues, one name keeps coming up: Snoop Dogg. Fans point to his recent halftime performance during Netflix’s Christmas Day game between the Lions and Vikings, along with his iconic status in American pop culture, as reasons he’d be a better fit for the Super Bowl stage.
In October, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made clear that the league has no plans to remove Bad Bunny from the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.
