Bad Bunny

Considering Polymarket was among the first to break the news that Bad Bunny is the subject of a GOP probe, we would anticipate a Bad Bunny betting market on this matter.  None yet as this was going to press. 

From Polymarket: 

"BREAKING: House Republicans announce investigation into Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, alleging the Spanish lyrics were “inappropriate” for television."

Prop bets on the Super Bowl Halftime Show witnessed heavy volume at Polymarket and on other websites. 

As of Friday morning, it wasn't immediately clear if the GOP was going through with such a probe, and Gambling911.com is working hard to find out if this is indeed the case. 

Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles made no secret how he perceived the Halftime Show. 

The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.

And if that weren't outrageous enough, the performance's lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways.

That is why I am requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of this indecent broadcast. American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence.

The New York Post reports that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is already looking into the matter and there might be "nothing to see here".

From The Post

Bad Bunny’s controversial Super Bowl halftime act has been scrutinized by the Federal Communications Commission for potential violations of its rules that prohibit “indecent material” and offensive language on public airwaves, On The Money has learned.

The FCC’s initial take is that the act and the songs that the Puerto Rican rapper belted out during the halftime show — “Tití Me Preguntó,”Monaco,” and “Safaera” — were scrubbed of lyrics that normally include references to sex acts and genitalia.

If they hadn’t been censored, the smutty lyrics could have violated FCC rules banning profanity and obscenity during primetime hours, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. The agency is said to have shelved any additional scrutiny barring further evidence, this person added.
