ESPN reporter John Sutcliffe gave an emotional statement about singer Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Sutcliffe shared a clip of his remarks on his Instagram profile.
After the iconic performance held before the second half of the Super Bowl, which took place on Sunday (8), Sutcliffe spoke about what he felt while watching the show.
“The message Bunny sent, whether you like his music or not, was one of love, culture and affection,” the reporter said in the video, his voice breaking.
“If you’re in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, wherever you are, it’s okay to have tears in your eyes and feel proud that Benito sang in Spanish at America’s biggest celebration. Long live Bad Bunny,” he exclaimed.
Despite many people’s concerns about possible controversial statements from the singer, Bad Bunny delivered a show focused on one message: love.
While mentioning the names of every country in the American continent, the singer held an American football with the words: “Together we are America.”
The big screens at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, displayed the phrase: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
Sutcliffe later went to his profile on X, formerly Twitter, to thank everyone for the “special night.”
“A special Sunday, thank you all very much for following me this season, thanks for the comments, let’s chat a little, I read and reply to you,” the reporter wrote.
“HAY QUE SENTIRSE ORGULLOSO, BENITO LE CANTÓ EN ESPAÑOL A LA FIESTA MÁS IMPORTANTE DE LOS AMERICANOS” 🥺
