With potential for Bad Bunny to make more bold political comments during today’s halftime show, right-wing groups in America have launched their own alternative halftime event.
Politicians aligned with Trump have suggested that the President will skip Bad Bunny’s performance entirely.

“But it could be as much about media networks rivalry and competition and trying to hijack Fox’s ownership of the Super Bowl entertainment, then it is about being All-American.”
The official half-time show should begin at around 12pm AEDT.
