Dallas, Texas — In a move that has ignited both controversy and conversation, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has announced that he will boycott the Super Bowl halftime show if Bad Bunny remains the headlining performer. The statement, made during a press interaction earlier this week, has sent shockwaves through the sports and entertainment worlds — sparking a heated debate about culture, patriotism, and the state of the NFL.
The Bombshell: Prescott Takes a Stand

Prescott’s declaration came with a clear stance: he intends to attend Turning Point USA’s event honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk instead of participating in the NFL’s festivities. “I’m an American — I’d rather be part of something All-American than the NFL’s circus,” Prescott said, emphasizing his discomfort with what he perceives as the league’s increasing detachment from traditional American values.
The quarterback’s words have quickly gone viral, dividing fans and media commentators across the nation. Supporters praised Prescott for his courage to speak out and for “standing by his beliefs” amid a politically charged climate. Critics, however, accused him of politicizing sports and alienating a diverse fanbase, especially given Bad Bunny’s immense global popularity.
Turning Point USA Connection

The NFL has yet to issue an official response, but industry insiders suggest that the league is carefully monitoring the situation, aware of the potential fallout if more players or sponsors take sides. Entertainment analysts note that the Super Bowl halftime show has long been a cultural lightning rod — balancing massive commercial appeal with growing social and political tensions.
This latest controversy places Dak Prescott at the center of a broader cultural clash between traditional patriotism and modern celebrity activism. His decision underscores the growing intersection between sports, politics, and identity — an increasingly defining characteristic of the modern American landscape.
As the Super Bowl approaches, all eyes are now on both the NFL and Bad Bunny’s camp to see whether any adjustments will be made to the halftime lineup — and whether Prescott’s bold stand will inspire others in the sports world to follow suit.
