In an explosive turn of events, the NFL's Super Bowl ratings have taken a nosedive, causing shockwaves throughout the sports world. The much-anticipated halftime show, headlined by Bad Bunny, was expected to draw massive viewership. However, the numbers reveal a devastating reality for the NFL.
- The Super Bowl's halftime show saw a catastrophic drop in viewership, losing nearly half its audience.
- Turning Point USA's All-American Halftime Show emerged as a popular alternative, breaking streaming records.
- Calls for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's resignation are growing louder as fans express their discontent.
Samba TV, a San Francisco-based data analytics company, recently released the ratings for the Super Bowl LX, and they paint a grim picture for the NFL. While 48.6 million households tuned in for the game itself, only 26.5 million stuck around for Bad Bunny's halftime performance, resulting in a loss of nearly half the audience. This marks an astonishing 40 percent decline from last year's halftime show headlined by Kendrick Lamar.
Where did the audience go? As predicted, many viewers flocked to Turning Point USA's All-American Halftime Show featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. This alternative concert streamed live on platforms like YouTube and Rumble, racking up over 6 million concurrent viewers and becoming the most-viewed livestream in YouTube history with over 20 million views in just 24 hours.
Even TMZ, not known for conservative leanings, hosted a poll on X, asking fans to choose between Bad Bunny and Kid Rock for the better halftime show. The results were resounding: Kid Rock won by a landslide, with 65 percent of the votes from over a quarter million participants, before TMZ quietly ended the poll. Social media exploded with viral videos of Americans choosing to switch off or mute the TV during Bad Bunny's performance, opting instead for the TPUSA stream.
President Trump wasn't silent on the matter either, calling the halftime show "absolutely terrible" and a "slap in the face to our Country." The backlash extended beyond ratings, with viral posts on X demanding Commissioner Roger Goodell's resignation after he was seen embracing Bad Bunny backstage. Critics argue Goodell's attempts to internationalize the NFL are alienating its core fan base, likening him to Don King, the boxing promoter blamed for boxing's decline.
The NFL's struggles with ratings aren't new. They trace back to 2016 when Colin Kaepernick's National Anthem protests sparked a wave of activism within the league. This began a trend of declining ratings, as many fans were turned off by the politicization of the sport. Surveys consistently showed that anthem protests were a significant factor in viewers tuning out.
In 2020, the NFL doubled down on social activism, aligning with Black Lives Matter and making political statements during games. This resulted in significant drops in ratings. While the league eventually recovered once the kneeling stopped, the decision to feature Bad Bunny seems to have reignited the cycle of decline.
The lesson here is crystal clear: Americans are tired of wokeness in their sports. They want entertainment, not lectures. And with the rise of a parallel patriot economy offering alternative celebrations of America, the NFL finds itself in a precarious position. **Now is the time to stand with your values and embrace the Patriot Economy.

Roger Goodell, by ignoring the will of the fans, has become the latest example of the adage: Go woke, go broke. The calls for his resignation are growing, and the clock is ticking.
