VDH - Our Super Bowl Satyricon

2026-02-13

[Townhall] In recent years, Americans have known what to expect from our Neronian Super Bowl halftime shows.

Mediocre music is veneered over with gaudy, flashily lit, but ultimately empty and meaningless sets.

The usual array of supporting dancers twerk and simulate intercourse, in sync with the main singer periodically grabbing his/her genitals — apparently to highlight the explicit sexual allusions of the mostly nonsensical lyrics.

All this Roman orgiastic ritual is designed by the NFL each year somehow to appeal to American families of all ages as they gather together around the living room TV on their festive cultural holiday.

But the script has now grown predictable and boring. This year's mess jumped the shark and had a force-multiplying effect on one of the most tedious Super Bowl games in history.

The decision to have Bad Bunny as the main attraction to sing solely in Spanish — 14 percent of the U.S. population is fluent in Spanish, while 90 percent is proficient in English — was apparently designed to grow the NFL's global audience, particularly in the Western Hemisphere, or perhaps to shock America to get accustomed to its new official multilingual identity.
