RE: Latinos for Trump React to Bad Bunny: Politics, Puerto Rican Independence & Music Debate
"and whether political disagreements should determine the way we consume music."
I guess this depends. If someone famous is going to be politically vocal (especially to the point of being offensive to those they disagree with) then they can expect to be judged based on that.
As far as Puerto Rican independence, they've always had the choice to choose independence and that's never been particularly conroversial...at least to those that aren't Puerto Rican. I don't really know how it is viewed within Puerto Rico or among that community in the U.S.
I had never heard of Bad Bunny before the Superbowl thing and am not really familiar with either his music or political views other than the little I've heard recently. It seems to me that the NFL is attempting to expand their market by alienating their core audience. Not sure if that will work out well for them or not. I expect not in the long run but what do I know. But not to worry, I'm sure Saudi Arabia will pour billions into the NFL at some point.
I'll probably watch the Superbowl. I haven't paid much attention to the halftime show over the last decade and a half or so and it doesn't look like that will change this year. Nothing to do with politics, just not really my kind of music and not speaking Spanish doesn't help.
