The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation announced late last month that Benito Ocasio, the cross-dressing Puerto Rican rapper known as Bad Bunny, will headline the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.
While Ocasio, a supporter of Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign, recently suggested on “Saturday Night Live” that “people all around the world who love my music are also happy” about the decision, a great many Americans appear deeply displeased with the league’s choice of entertainer.
Ocasio has, after all, admittedly avoided touring in the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s faithful enforcement of federal immigration law; cursed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents; and repeatedly dressed up in drag, in at least one case wearing fake breasts. Ocasio has also raised eyebrows with his suggestion that Americans — whose official language is English — will have to learn Spanish to understand his Super Bowl performance.
‘One by one, conservatives will take back every great American institution.’
Fortunately, there will be an alternative for normal Americans. Turning Point USA announced on Thursday that it will be running a rival halftime show “celebrating faith, family & freedom.”
While the conservative organization has yet to announce performers and key event details, the name of the Super Bowl halftime alternative contains a major hint: “The All American Halftime Show.”
The corresponding website for the TPUSA event asks visitors to indicate which genres of music they’d prefer to see featured, including Americana, classic rock, country, pop, worship, or “anything in English.”
Blaze News has reached out to a TPUSA spokesman for additional insights into the event.

The news was well received by American conservatives and other patriots.
BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre said in response to the announcement, “It’s time.”
“The NFL chose Bad Bunny. Turning Point chose America. That’s how we win the culture war — by building something better,” wrote Crystal Kate, senior adviser to Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts.
The New York Young Republican Club noted, “We’re beginning to see the formation of a parallel culture in America, a revitalization of the true American Spirit, free from corporate wokeism and donor/advertising pressures. One by one, conservatives will take back every great American institution.”
President Donald Trump suggested that Ocasio, the headliner for the official alternative to the TPUSA halftime show, is “absolutely ridiculous.”
