Turning Point USA, the grassroots conservative political action network founded by the late activist Charlie Kirk, is planning a Super Bowl halftime show with the goal of competing with the official show featuring Bad Bunny and sponsored by Apple Music.

“The All-American Halftime Show” will take place on Super Bowl Sunday, during the big game on Feb. 8. A website for the event gave few other details about Turning Point’s plans, but indicated more information about performers and how the concert will be broadcast would be forthcoming.

A survey on the site asks respondents to select from a number of genres they’d like to hear during the show, including country, hip-hop, rock or “anything in English.”

Plenty of counterprogramming has been run over the years to try to siphon off the massive audience that tunes into the Super Bowl during past halftime events, from “puppy bowls” to wresting shows.

But this might be the first time a political group has offered counterprogramming because they disagree with the music artist.

The show’s announcement comes amid sharp backlash on the right to the NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny, a star from Puerto Rico who is wildly successful on the charts.

Bad Bunny has said he will not tour in the U.S. for fear his concerts will be targeted by federal immigration authorities amid the president’s widespread deportation efforts.

It's not about MAGA. Well not to me. Bad Bunny is just focking awful. 

I will happily change the channel. I know how to do that. Unlike most MAGAs

They could put on a good show just by asking a few people that hate Jay-Z and his boy Diddy.

We will see.   The NFL is a powerful Mofo.   Getting main stream coverage for this could be a big fat challenge

Good grief.

Funny, I thought a good marching or concert band playing patriotic tunes would be interesting.

While I don't particularly care about who the NFL chose, it seems a little odd to pick a guy who doesn't seem to like America for the game during the 250th anniversary of our great country.   

But, it's all about the clicks and, I presume, reaching out to new fans in Latin America.

The top 0.1% never wastes a chance to incite MAGA into the culture wars.

“Bad Bunny is a woke Latino liberalz! Boycott!!”

Can we blow up Venezuelan drug boats as a halftime show?

Bad Bunny is still salty because he dropped the paper towels Father Trump threw him after the hurricane.

“The All-American Halftime Show”

Wait, don't they know that Bad Bunny is American? He was born in Puerto Rico, which is a US territory and all it's residents are American citizens.

Maybe they should just say it's "The White Halftime Show"

What's funny is that counter programming is what brought us today's Super Bowl Half Time Show. 

In 1992, a special counter programming from "In Living Color" deterred millions of viewers from the game to the ILC half time show; it had a countdown clock to let people know when to go back to the game. 

In 1993 the Super Bowl Half Time Show was born with Michael Jackson performing. So many people didn't know what was going on that they had to pipe in the sounds of applause and screaming. 

Be interesting to see how this counter programming goes and what the impact is.

Not according to Google:

The first Super Bowl halftime show took place during Super Bowl I on January 15, 1967, featuring performances by the marching bands of the University of Arizona and Grambling State University, along with trumpeter Al Hirt and a jetpack demonstration. This marked the beginning of the Super Bowl tradition of having halftime entertainment, though it evolved from marching bands to more elaborate musical productions in later years

Since it's obvious newsom wants to be president, they should interview homeless people on the streets of SF in between fentanyl hits on what a great job he's doing.  Do the man a favor.
