And yet, language matters. Not because everyone needs to understand it, but because hearing it forces a reckoning. It forces some people to realize that they are not the default, not the center, not the intended audience in every moment, a fact made clear by the Bad Bunny Super Bowl. That realization can feel like loss if you’ve never had to share the stage before. The resistance sometimes hardened into accusations of hypocrisy. People brought up past statements, questioned motives, suggested that agreeing to this performance undermined earlier principles. They talked about branding, exposure, selling out. Those critiques weren’t entirely baseless. No public figure is free from contradiction. But there was an edge to them, a satisfaction in catching someone in inconsistency, as if that inconsistency invalidated everything else. As if purity were the price of participation.

There was irritation in that realization. A sense of loss. For some, the Bad Bunny Super Bowl felt like being pushed out of a space they’d assumed was permanently theirs. For others, it was framed as practicality. How could a performance succeed if most of the audience couldn’t understand the words? Why should American viewers have to adjust? Why weren’t English-speaking audiences being considered? The word “unintelligible” came up more than once, heavy with implication. As if comprehension were the sole metric for enjoyment. As if sound without translation were an insult.
(Customized Monsters, Inc. Crocs Collection)And when it’s over, we’ll be left with the same questions we started with. About who we think the Bad Bunny Super Bowl is for. About who we think America is for. About whether discomfort is something to be avoided at all costs, or something to be sat with, examined, and maybe even accepted as a sign that something is changing. There’s no neat ending to that story. Only the quiet understanding that the ground keeps shifting, whether we’re ready for it or not.
