I remember when the Super Bowl halftime show was appointment viewing for the whole family. No parental anxiety. No scrambling for the remote. Just good, clean entertainment that brought Americans together. Those days? Gone. The people running our biggest entertainment spectacles have made their priorities crystal clear. Protecting families isn’t on the list.

This year’s halftime performance by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny ignited a firestorm. Viewers who bothered to translate his Spanish-language lyrics discovered something repulsive. We’re talking explicit references to sex acts, crude anatomical descriptions, and outright celebration of debauchery. All of it pumped directly into living rooms where kids sat cross-legged on the carpet, watching with mom and dad. Wholesome stuff, right?

From the New York Post:

The commission concluded that the lyrics of the songs performed at the Super Bowl were “scrubbed of lyrics that normally include references to sex acts and genitalia,” and will not pursue action against Bad Bunny or the NFL.

The agency is said to have shelved any additional scrutiny barring further evidence.

A Slap in the Face to American Families

The Federal Communications Commission—the agency literally created to protect public airwaves from indecent garbage—decided to do nothing. Zero. Nada. Over 130 million Americans tuned in. Millions of children watched. And the FCC’s response? A bureaucratic shrug.

Here’s what gets me. By the agency’s own admission, the performance required extensive sanitization to avoid breaking the law. They acknowledge the original content was so filthy it needed scrubbing. Yet somehow, that’s not worth investigating?

Florida Congressman Randy Fine didn’t mince words in his letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. He called it exactly what it was: “The woke garbage we witnessed on Super Bowl Sunday needs to be INVESTIGATED and put to an END.” Fine continued: “There is NO reason that over 130 million people—including CHILDREN—should have been exposed to the vulgar and disgusting content of the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.”

Congressman Fine gets it. The FCC apparently doesn’t.

The Language Loophole

Now here’s the part that really burns. Bad Bunny performs exclusively in Spanish. Most American viewers had zero clue what poison was being piped into their homes. Only after concerned citizens took the time to translate songs like “Safaera,” which literally means “debauchery” in Puerto Rican slang—did the grotesque reality emerge.

Think about that for a second. The NFL selected a performer whose entire catalog drips with explicit content. They knew. Bad Bunny knew. They scrubbed just enough to technically dodge FCC violations while preserving the vulgar essence of every song.

It’s a con job. A carefully executed end-run around decency standards. And the FCC seems perfectly happy to play along.

A Corrupt Agency in Need of Reform

The FCC’s own website spells out what’s prohibited: “language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, sexual or excretory organs or activities.”

Read that again. Now explain to me how the agency reviews this performance and walks away whistling. You can’t. Because it’s inexplicable. Unless, of course, the fix was in from the start.

This isn’t garden-variety incompetence. This is an institution rotted by bias. The same cultural infection spreading through Hollywood, corporate boardrooms, and academia has clearly metastasized inside our regulatory agencies. When bureaucrats refuse to enforce their own written standards, we’re not dealing with oversight failure. We’re dealing with corruption.

Congress needs to act. Demand answers. Hold hearings. Force accountability. The FCC must be reformed from top to bottom. Americans who trusted this agency to guard the airwaves deserve an explanation—and a guarantee this won’t happen again.

Our kids were watching. Even if Washington wasn’t.

Key Takeaways

• The FCC will take no action against Bad Bunny or the NFL despite widespread public complaints.
• Over 130 million viewers, including children, watched a performance requiring extensive content scrubbing.
• Spanish-language lyrics conveniently hid vulgar content from most American viewers.
• The FCC’s failure to enforce its own standards reveals institutional bias demanding Congressional reform.
