'Roger Goodell: NFL won't reconsider Bad Bunny SB halftime show' [View all]

"NEW YORK -- The NFL is not considering dropping Bad Bunny as its Super Bowl halftime headline performer, commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday."

"Speaking at the conclusion of the NFL's fall meeting, Goodell said the league is accustomed to getting blowback for its entertainment choices given the size and breadth of its fan base. The announcement made in September garnered worldwide attention, including an increase in streams of Bad Bunny's music."

" 'He's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world,' Goodell said. 'That's what we try to achieve. It's an important stage for us. It's an important element to the entertainment value. It's carefully thought through.' "

"The Puerto Rican artist has been vocal in his opposition to President Donald Trump and his policies. He decided to do a 31-day residency in Puerto Rico, avoiding stops in the U.S. as a form of protest."

"Trump, speaking on a conservative TV news network, called the NFL's decision crazy and ridiculous."
