Super Bowl halftime performer Bad Bunny’s anger at Donald Trump contributed to his controversial decision to sit for ‘God Bless America’ at the New York Yankees game this week.
Bad Bunny remained seated during “God Bless America” at Yankee Stadium and the move has sparked more political debate just months ahead of his scheduled Super Bowl halftime performance. The Puerto Rican rapper and global music star was spotted by baseball personality Laurence Leavy, better known as “Marlins Man,” who sat two seats away during the playoff matchup between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. The fan, who goes by the online title ‘Marlins_Man’, was in town to watch the Yankees face Toronto Blue Jays. As he took his seat behind the plate for the playoff game, found he was next to the polarizing artist.
The NFL’s decision to give Bad Bunny the Super Bowl halftime show has caused an eruption of fury from Trump’s support base, given the artist’s repeated criticisms of the President. And the flames were fanned Tuesday when Bad Bunny stayed in his seat for the Yankees’ traditional rendition of ‘God Bless America’ at the end of the seventh inning.
