HAWK TALK: How do you feel about Bad Bunny headlining the upcoming Super Bowl?
-
“I’m really excited to see Bad Bunny headlining something like the Super Bowl because the NFL has historically profited off of the bodies of men of color, so it’s almost revolutionary to see someone so iconic in the Latinx community contribute to something like this. I think it’s a great follow-up to Kendrick’s.” – Emily Lopez, 20, psychology
-
“I think it’s cool because he represents the Latinx community and I’m one of his biggest fans.” – Cristobal Martinez, 18, engineering
-
“I’m not surprised at all just because he’s obviously very popular with American audiences. I like some of his songs—I don’t think it’s necessarily the best music—but I think for that party and celebratory atmosphere, it makes sense.” – Anna Biehl, 18, nutrition
-
“It’s a big deal for the Latinx community, especially in the political position that the country is in. I think it’s a really big idea and a mistake if he doesn’t make some kind of statement; him performing at the Super Bowl is a political statement in itself.” – Elisia Bucio, 18, political science

“I’ve heard a couple Bad Bunny songs, and I do speak Spanish, but I haven’t heard any of his new music. There’s also a couple other artists who could’ve gotten the position. But he could make something cool happen; he’s had a couple good performances.” – Vince Hernandez, 18, accounting
