Shelly Rodgers explains the performance is a way of saying, "We're all the same, and we're all on this journey together." https://www.wired.com/video/watch/untold-story-bad-bunny-historic-super-bowl-halftime-show

🗣AMERICANS DON’T DO THIS GRINGOLADA

🗣FFS YOU DON’T EVEN GET WHY #BadBunny OPENED WITH HIS FULL NAME

no, you estadounidenses are not the same as us Puerto Ricans ―AND YOU WILL NEVER BE.

and guess what, that’s ok.

we Puerto Ricans WILL NEVER WANT TO BE LIKE YOU.

and guess what, that’s ok.

THAT’S THE POINT OF THE SHOW.

look up LEY DE MORDAZA to see what you did to us for being so unapologetically Puerto Rican.

the point is, WE ARE WHO WE ARE and guess what, that’s ok.

🗣LEY DE MORDAZA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gag_Law_%28Puerto_Rico%29

❝ The act made it a crime to own or display a Puerto Rican flag, to sing a patriotic tune, to speak or write of independence, or to meet with anyone or hold any assembly in favor of Puerto Rican independence.❞

1948 was the year Puerto Rico entered the Olympics as an independent sports nation, AS A DOUBLE-DOG DARE TO LA LEY DE MORDAZA. my father, Julio Sabater, was part of the delegation, competing in the 200 & 400 with hurdles and 100 relay.

Ricky Martín even sings the whole point of #BadBunny’s show and i translated it here:

❝ don’t forget our lelolai,
i don’t want to happen with us
what happened to Hawaii ❞

gringos have spent over 100 years massacring us, stealing our land, erasing our history, LITERALLY DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF US TAÍNOS, and yet we are still here.

the US govt had the IOC deny the 1948’s delegation’s existence until the 1980s, when they finally gave them their olympiad diplomas.
