NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that the league isn't considering dropping Bad Bunny as its Super Bowl LX Halftime Show headliner while addressing reporters at the league's annual fall owners meeting on Wednesday (October 22).

“He’s one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world. That’s what we try to achieve," Goodell said via NFL Network's Mike Garafolo before adding that the decision was "carefully throught through" and “we’re confident it’s going to be a great show and that he understands the platform that he’s on. I think it’s going to be exciting and a united moment.”

The selection of Bad Bunny for as the Super Bowl LX Halftime performer has drawn criticism from conservatives due to the Puerto Rican rapper having previously said he didn't plan to tour the continental United States over fears of the newly implemented ICE deportation restrictions and raids potentially targeting his concerts. President Donald Trump also criticized the selection during an interview with Newsmax's Greg Kelly earlier this month.
