Seahawks vs Patriots in the Super Bowl, who we got?
 
For those wondering, Bad Bunny is performing at the half time show. Won’t be as good as Kendrick last year or Em, Snoop and Dre in 2022.
 
I'm fine with the music being in Spanish (14% of Americans speak it at home) but can he please address the crowd in English?

English was ONLY designated the official language of the US in March of 2025 by an official order of Trump's.... join the dots dude :P

So surely he could have at least spoke his dialogue in English, right? In total I would estimate that maybe 23% of Americans can understand Spanish (which is a lot, but not the majority; 20% of Americans identify as Hispanic and they teach Spanish in schools now), but 96% can speak English including 78% natively (for reference Australia is slightly higher natively but lower in overall proficiency).

I also found it interesting that towards the end he listed every single Latin American country plus the US and Canada yet the flag bearers carried every American country, including those that don't speak Spanish like Aruba and Brazil.

Don't know mate, didn't watch. But the NFL and Trump have been butting heads since his first term... Controversy sells advertising dollars....

Based on my limited knowledge of Spanish (which as a French and Italian speaker is the same knowledge an English speaker would have of Dutch and German) I didn't hear him say anything political, but again I can't speak Spanish.

At the Grammys however he said (in English, obviously with a thick Puerto Rican accent) when accepting his award "Before I wanna say, thanks to God, ICE out" (presumably meaning "ICE should stop deporting innocent citizens and killing people" rather than "destroy ICE" which is fair, though ICE needs reform not abolition). Much more mild than bloody Billie Eilish saying "nobody is illegal on stolen land" despite having a multi million dollar mansion on "stolen land" (I guess we can just walk in her mansion and make ourselves at home then?).

Meanwhile in Australia our celebs usually shut up about politics. Trump is a felon and possibly a pedo though to be fair.

Reading the room I dont think its so much what he did/didn't say but the fact he said it in Spanish that will piss off enough people to be noticed.... Celebrities are just as entitled to their opinions as anybody else, its up to you to chose (or not) to give their opinions value.
 
Drake Maye sacked for the fifth time, with Derick Hall forcing the fumble which is subsequently recovered by Byron Murphy II. It's the first turnover committed in this year's Super Bowl and Seattle regain possession near the end of the third quarter.
 
Seahawks tight end AJ Barner taking a 16-yard catch from Sam Darnold inside the end zone to score the first touchdown of the game. Extra point from Jason Myers is good and the score is now 19-0 in the fourth quarter.
 
Mack Hollins with a 35-yard catch inside the end zone to score a touchdown for the Patriots and make the Super Bowl a two-score game, meaning there won't be a shutout this year. Extra point from Andres Borregales is good and the score is now 19-7 in favour of the Seahawks in the fourth quarter.
 
Jason Myers with yet another field goal from 26 yards out to extend the Seahawks' lead to 22-7 with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He remains perfect with five field goals made from five attempts, and one extra point made, subsequently breaking the record for most field goals in a Super Bowl.
