In a shocking development in the NFL, Dallas Cowboys offensive assistant coach Brian Schottenheimer has sparked controversy among both the media and fans by publicly criticizing the NFL’s decision to have Latin music star Bad Bunny perform at the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show.

According to sources within the team, Schottenheimer not only expressed his opposition but also went as far as to threaten to pull the entire Cowboys from the league if the NFL did not cancel the plan. This is a rare and extremely serious statement, especially when the Dallas Cowboys are one of the teams with the strongest fan bases in the US.

Brian Schottenheimer publicly criticizes NFL

In a press conference after the recent practice, Schottenheimer frankly said:
“The Super Bowl is a place to honor the spirit of sports, football and the history of the league. Turning it into a stage to promote inappropriate music artists will lower the value of the Super Bowl. We cannot accept that.”

This statement immediately caused a storm, because the Super Bowl Halftime Show has long been one of the biggest music events on the planet, having witnessed performances by legends such as Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Shakira, Eminem… Schottenheimer’s strong opposition and direct targeting of Bad Bunny – one of the most famous Latin artists in the world today – has pushed the incident to a climax.

Cancellation Request and Shocking Threat

Not stopping at criticism, Schottenheimer also sent a direct message to the NFL:

“Either you cancel Bad Bunny’s performance, or the Cowboys will not participate in the Super Bowl as well as the entire league. We are ready to face all the consequences.”

This statement stunned the American media. If the Cowboys really withdraw from the NFL, this will be the biggest shock in the history of the league, affecting billions of dollars in revenue from television rights, advertising, tickets and commercials.

Fans are deeply divided

Reactions from the NFL community and Cowboys fans are currently divided into two streams of opinion:

Supporting Schottenheimer: Some fans believe that the Super Bowl should focus on football instead of music. They agree that the NFL has over-commercialized the event, turning it into a showbiz instead of keeping its full sports value.

Criticism of Schottenheimer: On the contrary, many people think he has gone too far. The Super Bowl Halftime Show has always been an American cultural icon, attracting a global audience. Bad Bunny, with his huge influence in international music, is the choice for the NFL to expand the fan base.

How did the NFL and Bad Bunny react?

Currently, the NFL has not given an official response to Schottenheimer’s statement. However, according to media experts, canceling Bad Bunny’s performance is almost impossible, because the contract and media plan were made many months ago.

Bad Bunny’s side has also remained silent, but on social media, his fans have strongly protested, saying that Schottenheimer is behaving disrespectfully and personally.
