The NFL has hit a major fumble with the ratings for their recent halftime show, featuring the enigmatic Bad Bunny. With fans accustomed to the rhythmic beats of Eminem or the timeless grooves of Dr. Dre, it seems this Puerto Rican sensation didn’t quite hit the right note with the American audience. The news wires buzzed with startling graphics announcing this as the biggest halftime show yet, overshadowing past legends. But let’s face it, Bad Bunny’s tunes might be more recognized south of the border than in your average American living room.

Initially, these ratings seemed as suspicious as a two-headed coin. And lo and behold, our skepticism was right on the money. Enter Samba, the TV ratings tracker juggernaut, swooping in to set the record straight: the Super Bowl’s viewership plummeted by 13% year over year, and the halftime show was, let’s say, less of a touchdown and more of a fumble. Turns out, nearly 40% fewer viewers tuned in for this year’s halftime performance. Instead of jamming to Bad Bunny, half of America’s eyeballs turned to Turning Point USA, whose alternative halftime show smashed viewership records across platforms.

Imagine forking over $10,000 for a ticket to this grand sporting event, only to find yourself checking your watch as an artist you’ve barely heard of takes center stage. As footage rolled of fans biding their time during Bad Bunny’s show, it became clear that the usual halftime electricity was short-circuited. It’s no wonder the progressive media isn’t rushing to defend the debacle—they’ve seen the numbers, and it’s tough to put a positive spin on a crowd that tuned out in droves.

Now, liberals are hastily backing away from the Bad Bunny experiment, perhaps hoping no one remembers the exorbitant show that didn’t deliver. Meanwhile, the conservative crowd is raising a glass, metaphorically “drinking their milkshake,” as they boast the number one song globally. In this battle of ratings, one side’s got the stats, and the other… well, not so much.

While some might be content stewing in their missed notes, others celebrate victory with a smile. The numbers are in, and this one’s a scoreboard wipeout. The cheers resounding aren’t for touchdowns, but for a conservative triumph in the land of viewership metrics. As they dance to the number one tune, the takeaway is clear: turn off the TV, and tune in to what truly resonates.
