Thank You.  Going to & from Puerto Rico is like going to & from Indiana, we're all American citizens.  I NOT sure what people have against American citizens doing the Halftime at the SuperBowl.

this was one of the clips that show first when you search Bad Bunny on YouTube.  Being sung  in Spanish means a ton of people wont understand a word he is singing about.

 

The NFL clearly wants to go worldwide so hiring a guy like this doesn't surprise me. I don't have anything against his music. I hope he somehow makes it palatable for an English speaking audience. How he will or could do that  I have  no idea

They'll figure it out... Learning another language ain't rocket science.

 

IMO, English adapts probably the best to other languages.  The Anglo speaking world has that going for them.

I have to say that I love the outrage over a halftime performer at the Super Bowl, talk about whining, it makes me laugh.

 

Maybe Lee Greenwood wasn't available to do a 30 minute version of proud to be an American, maybe next year.

Lee is 82.  I am sure they can wheel him out there with all the other old farts.

 

That'll put a spark in the youngin's beating red heart!

I can speak Spanish somewhat fluently but hearing it sung and slang I'll likely miss half or more of what he is singiing

 

The stage show will be elaborate. they always are. I'll watch it and critique afterwards

noone I know will want to try decipher his lyrics . If they aren't already a Spanish speaker song lyrics are Not going to be instructive to learning  Spanish trust me

 

when   I traveled throughout s America the Spanish I heard on Bolivia was what is called "castellano".or pure Spanish .  Puerto Rican Spanish  is described thusly in AI and I quote 

Quote

The Spanish spoken in Puerto Rico is a distinct Caribbean Spanish variant, known for its unique accent and vocabulary, influenced by Canarian Spanish, Taíno, African languages, and English. Key characteristics include specific pronunciations, such as the elision of final 's' and 'r' sounds, the replacement of mid-'r' with 'l', and the use of unique slang words and borrowed terms from Taíno and African languages

 

Quote

The word "castellano" comes from Castile, a region in central and northern Spain where the language evolved from Vulgar Latin. 

Usage: 

In Spain, "castellano" is often used to refer to the standard Spanish language and to distinguish it from other languages spoken in the country, such as Catalan, Basque, and Galician.

Again Puerto Rico is considered a Latin America lol

It's amazing how people consider America to only be the United states. If you're from Brazil you're also american. If you're from Venezuela you're also American

That's a loose interpretation of "American."

 

The common one is (from AI):

 

"An American is anyone who is a citizen or national of the United States, which includes those born in the country or those who have immigrated and gone through the naturalization process. Being an American also involves a commitment to the values of liberty, equality, and participation in the democratic process."

 

 

Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States in Latin America.  It's people are US citizens.  So Puerto Ricans are Americans with regards to the common definition.

 

I guess by your standard, Canadians are Anericans too? I mean sorta, but that's just dumb.

You gotta be kidding, trolling?

 

Call a Canadian an American & seen what kinda response you illicit.

 

In the loose sense... Everyone in Western Hemisphere is an "American."  But that's not how the term is used practically.😏

 

Now. A Puerto Rican is an American just as a Hoosier is.  Same national status.

Nobody is crying about people not being interested in him.  The crying is coming from people who think they have to endure him.

 

Just learn Spanish, is that really hard?

I don't really care about this one way or the other but I do feel like every passing year I am feeling more and more out of touch with the modern NFL

Because we're getting older & older and the younger generation is passing us by.

 

It's NOT geared for us anymore.

 

I assume peolple having issues are mid-life?

Me: "I wish just once they would pick a non-divisive mass appeal musician that isnt controversial to play the Super Bowl halftime show."

 

Also me: "I wish the death metal band Obituary would play the Super Bowl halftime show."
