Republican Congressman Andy Ogles has formally requested an investigation into the National Football League (NFL) and NBCUniversal concerning the halftime performance by Bad Bunny during the Super Bowl. Ogles expressed his concerns about the content of the show, which he labeled as 'sexually explicit,' highlighting specific aspects of Bad Bunny's performance that he considered inappropriate. This request was made through a letter to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where he argues that the show contained themes that were not suitable for the general audience viewing the event.

In his public statements, Ogles referred to the performance as 'pure obscenity,' mentioning the portrayal of 'explicit gay sexual acts' and provocative dancing from women involved in the show. He also noted particular actions by Bad Bunny that included suggestive gestures, which he believes crossed a line regarding what should be permissible in such a widely viewed event. This incident reflects ongoing debates in the U.S. about acceptable content in major televised events and the responsibilities of networks and organizations like the NFL in regulating performances.

Ogles pointed out that songs included in Bad Bunny's setlist, such as 'Safaera' and 'Yo Perreo Sola,' have lyrics that contain easily recognizable sexual references. While Bad Bunny performed parts of 'Safaera' during the halftime show, he consciously omitted the more explicit sections of the song. This highlights an interesting tension surrounding artistic expression in live performances amidst political scrutiny and cultural sensitivities in America.
