Gavin Furrey recently published an article in The Conversation Professor titled 'The backlash to Bad Bunny’s halftime show reveals how MAGA defines who belongs in America. '
"The controversy around Bad Bunny's halftime show may seem like the stuff of petty culture wars, but a stage of this scale actually represents a key moment in the negotiation of who gets to represent American identity: who counts, who gets to be seen, who gets to be heard. At a time when the Conservative Right may have thought it was winning ground in the U.S., the NFL's choice of Bad Bunny affirms that America's culture tastes, sense of self, and economic interests are not as narrowly ethno-nationalist as the Trump administration might lead its base to believe."
