16. The reality is this is economic
Tue Feb 10, 2026, 12:17 PM

The Bad Bunny performance was marketing to the NFL. The NFL has been playing international games for a few years now. They are doing what BUSINESS does, expanding their market. There are a half a billion Spanish speaking people in the Americas. The NFL doesn't care about "love is stronger than hate", they only see the Latin market as potential consumers of their product. Even if you only get a small % of that population you're still taking about millions of new consumers, consumers of jerseys, streaming services, etc.

It's capitalism boys. How does it taste tiger? It'd be something that during the same year Republicans basically went against their sacrosanct 2nd amendment they abandon the tried and true formula of letting business do whatever the fuck they want. Of course, we all here know the Republic Party only pays lip service to "free markets" while their real goal is to entrench the oligarchs and corporate criminals. Of course as soon as a business does something not approved by the Maggots it's off to do probes, regulate.

2A, states rights and free market are just hollow code words for these vacuous losers.
