NFL commish gushes about Bad Bunny: ‘One of the greatest artists in the world’

National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell couldn’t say enough good things about this year’s halftime performer.

The Puerto Rican artist has been outspoken on his views of the United States, specifically Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action. He once again voiced his displeasure at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, as did many of the celebrities in attendance.

Watch:

Bad Bunny says “ICE OUT” at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation:

“We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.… pic.twitter.com/IFzvguqdCR

“Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE Out,” he said during his acceptance speech, winning the Album of the Year award.

“We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different.”

Now, just a few days shy of the Super Bowl, Goodell gushed over the performer, saying he is “one of the greatest artists in the world.”

Watch:

Roger Goodell heard Bad Bunny condemn ICE at the Grammy’s, rumors that he may wear a dress to honor LGBTQ icons, knows he incorporates demonic themes in his music, heard him mock NFL fans for not knowing Spanish on SNL, & he STILL believes the Halftime Show will “unite people”…… pic.twitter.com/sggaKzU0nP

“He understood the platform he was on. This platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talent, and to be able to use this moment to do that. I think artists in the past have done that,” the commissioner said. “I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he’ll have a great performance.”

X users weighed in:

Goodell is as woke as woke gets. He’s a liberal using the NFL to espouse Marxist-influenced ideology.

Translation: It’s too late to change it, so he’s gonna hype it no matter how absolutely terrible it will be.

….and he’s done a very poor job thinking he knows what Americans want to hear and see.
