In a stunning turn of events, three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes has reportedly declared that he would boycott the upcoming Super Bowl if organizers move forward with plans to feature Bad Bunny as the halftime performer.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, known for his usually measured tone, made headlines after expressing strong disapproval of the decision, suggesting it reflects what he sees as a growing cultural drift within the league.
“I’m an American — I’d rather be part of something All-American than the NFL’s circus,” Mahomes said, according to sources close to the player. He added that if the league insists on keeping Bad Bunny as part of the show, he would instead participate in an event hosted by Turning Point USA to “honor Charlie Kirk and celebrate real American values.”
The statement immediately ignited a firestorm of controversy across social media, dividing fans, analysts, and public figures alike. Some praised Mahomes for “standing for what he believes in,” while others accused him of politicizing the sport and fueling culture-war tensions.
Neither the NFL nor Bad Bunny’s representatives have commented on Mahomes’ remarks, but insiders say the league is “closely monitoring the situation” as it braces for potential fallout ahead of what could now be the most politically charged Super Bowl in years.
