Following the Super Bowl halftime show, support for ICE has skyrocketed to 99%, according to the Babylon Bee, known for “fake news you can trust.” Speaking of which, the NFL plans to have next year’s show feature Iranian mullahs speaking in Farsi leading fans in chanting “Death to America” to express the league’s full commitment to the mush of modern tolerance and hyper-inclusive multiculturalism.

Bad Bunny’s sign at the end of his performance saying “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” compels the morally-confused NFL to provide Iran’s mullahs a “Super Bowl safe space” to shout down the hate from their pesky freedom-seeking subjects and ignorant conservative Americans audaciously daring to denounce the totalitarian ideology of Islam. (Conservatives, only liberals possess the privilege to judge.)

All satire aside, like it has done before by casting off neutrality and catering to DEI, BLM and LGBTQ, the NFL showed its hand by exploiting love to include (in Spanish) rampant vulgarity and sexually-explicit content spun as “wholesome family values” by the failing Washington Post.

Hardly anything is more “Americana” than football and marching bands making the language of the show a non-starter. Holding the record for the most Super Bowl halftime shows with 6 is Grambling University. Why not invite them back or other dynamic black schools, like Southern University’s Human Jukebox and Jackson State’s Sonic Boom of the South? (It could also feature the amazing Buckeye band of Ohio State without performing “script Ohio” for the sake of Michigan fans.)

Back to this year’s show, Answers in Genesis agrees that the only thing more powerful than hate is love, but what kind of love is it? How Bunny entertains has everything to do with worldly and secularized love no matter how many “God bless Americas…Mexicos… Cubas…Venezuelas” he says.

Bad Bunny wants ICE out. That earns a “Not so fast, my friend.” The agency rescuing more children out of sex-trafficking and child labor is ICE.

Outside of his obsession of using women to satisfy his voracious lusts, he does support work to help children, but would those children be helped without his entertainment gig of sleaze? Who is better for children: ICE or Bunny?

Contrary to “Bunny” love, Bryan Osborne of Answers in Genesis made a point to separate his false view of love with the truth about love. Love is for the benefit of another often at a cost to self ultimately displayed by God for us through Christ on the cross. It’s rooted in God’s nature and His truth. What is not rooted in His nature and truth is not love. Love stands with truth, not evil.

In TPUSA’s alternative halftime show, Robert Richey (formerly Kid Rock) sang, “There’s a book that’s sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off. There’s a man who died for all our sins hanging from the cross.” Pointing to the eternal truth in Christ, Richey found a love Kid Rock did not have.

To say it another way, Bad Bunny’s love is indulging man’s self-centered lust-filled desires at the expense of exploiting another. The love that Robert Richey presented is about God in Christ giving at his expense for you. These two conflicting kinds of love war against each other. Which side are you choosing?

Relatable host Allie Beth Stuckey said, “If as a Christian you find yourself more inclined to celebrate degeneracy because it is sung in Spanish, than to celebrate the gospel because it is being preached at a conservative halftime show, it’s you who has made an idol of the culture war.”
