Summary
The reaction has been swift and severe following the NFL’s announcement that 3 time Grammy winning Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny will be headlining next year’s Super Bowl Halftime show. Amy and T.J. go over Bad Bunny’s anti ICE statements that have many folks riled up, but also point to the unbelievable hate and ignorance that is being hurled at him and the NFL. We know YOU know, but just for the record, Puerto Ricans are Americans (and therefore cannot be deported!)
