The NFL world has been rocked after Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made a bold and unexpected declaration: he would boycott the Super Bowl if organizers proceed with plans to have Bad Bunny headline the halftime show.
Speaking candidly during a recent interview, Hurts didn’t hold back, saying he would instead join Turning Point USA to honor conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — a move that immediately set social media ablaze.
“I’m an American — I’d rather be part of something All-American than the NFL’s circus,” Hurts stated, his words sending shockwaves through the sports and entertainment communities alike.
His comments have ignited fierce debate online, with thousands of fans taking sides. Supporters praised Hurts for “standing by his values,” while critics accused him of turning football into a political battleground.
As of now, the NFL has not issued an official response, and Bad Bunny’s camp has remained silent. But one thing is certain — Hurts’ stance has added a new layer of controversy to what was already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about Super Bowls in recent memory.
