US EditionPolitician Demands FCC Take 'Dramatic Action' Against Bad Bunny For Super Bowl Lyrics
Florida Congressman Randy Fine demands FCC penalties against NFL, NBC, and Bad Bunny for alleged profanity during Super Bowl halftime performance.
- On Tuesday, Representative Randy Fine said he would send letters to the Federal Communications Commission seeking `dramatic action`, including fines and broadcast license reviews, over the Super Bowl LX halftime show, calling it `disgusting` and `illegal` and posting `You can't say the f-word on live TV`.
- After reviewing online translations, Randy Fine zeroed in on explicit lines from Safaera and other songs on the Genius lyrics database, though reporters said many cited lyrics were incorrect or not performed.
- USA TODAY Network reporters fluent in Spanish reviewed the Super Bowl LX performance replay and noted it lasted about 13 minutes, with Bad Bunny often mumbling or cutting off expletives; NBC and Telemundo used backing tracks to avoid airing profane lyrics.
- As of Monday, the FCC docket showed no filing from Fine's office, and the agency can only enforce against NBC-owned stations, not the NFL or performers.
- Given past court rulings and reversed fines, legal hurdles could limit enforcement since fines totaling more than $500,000 against CBS were overturned and the halftime show celebrated Puerto Rico and Latino culture with Bad Bunny as the first Latino solo Super Bowl headliner.
