NFL Fans Furious Over “Woke” Halftime Show Rumors — Bad Bunny, Dresses, and a Super Bowl Backlash
In a new segment, conservative commentator Benny Johnson argues that America’s biggest sports leagues are paying a price for turning marquee moments into political flashpoints. He points to recent viewership softness in the NFL and NBA and claims fans are increasingly rejecting what he frames as “message-first” programming—especially around the Super Bowl halftime show.
The video centers on Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime performance (February 8, 2026, Levi’s Stadium) and a wave of online backlash tied to rumors about a provocative wardrobe choice and an LGBTQ-themed tribute—claims Johnson attributes to entertainment reporting and “inside sources,” while urging viewers to see the controversy as part of a broader cultural campaign. Separately, he highlights conservative responses and boycott talk, including discussion of federal security and immigration enforcement at the event.
Why it matters: The episode captures a widening debate about whether leagues should keep major broadcasts strictly entertainment-focused—or continue leaning into cultural and political messaging, even at the risk of alienating parts of the audience. Bad Bunny’s selection as headliner is confirmed by the NFL, but specific outfit details and the most sensational allegations remain unverified in official statements.

Death Threat Texts, Hotel Tail, Ice Bottles: O’Keefe Alleges Coordinated Attack in Minneapolis
Viral video posted on January 25, 2026 by commentator Benny Johnson claims that journalist-activist James O’Keefe was “hunted” in downtown Minneapolis while covering unrest tied to anti-ICE protests. In the clip, Johnson frames Minneapolis as the epicenter of a broader confrontation over federal immigration enforcement and portrays the city as a testing ground for organized street pressure against federal authorities and independent media.
Central to the video are O’Keefe’s own allegations: he says he and his team were surrounded by a crowd, pelted with ice bottles, followed to their hotel, and threatened via text message with a one-hour ultimatum to leave the city. O’Keefe also claims the group tracking them had access to unusually detailed vehicle information—down to a license plate—and suggests coordination that goes beyond spontaneous protest activity. The video further implies local or state-level complicity, though it provides no independently verified proof of official involvement beyond the commentary and screenshots shown.
The claims arrive amid a documented surge of tension in Minneapolis following deadly encounters involving federal immigration agents. Major outlets have reported on the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026, after which protests intensified, and on earlier clashes and legal battles over how federal agents have interacted with demonstrators and observers in the Twin Cities.
At this stage, the video’s most serious allegations—an organized attempt on O’Keefe’s life, coordinated “autonomous zones,” and state-enabled tracking—should be treated as unverified claims pending corroboration from law enforcement records, additional video evidence, or independent reporting. What is clear is that Minneapolis is experiencing a highly volatile moment, with escalating protests, competing narratives about public safety, and intensifying disputes between federal operations and local/state leaders.

New York. From Snowstorm to Showdown: Hochul’s Storm Briefing Turns Into a Sharp Rebuke of Federal Agents
New York faced a major winter storm on January 25, 2026. Speaking from the state’s Emergency Operations Center in Albany, Governor Kathy Hochul warned that the weather would be dangerous—deep snow, extreme cold, and icy conditions.
She called it an “Arctic siege” and said the cold could be life-threatening. Snow started early in Long Island and New York City, then spread north across the state.
What New York State is doing
Hochul said the state had already declared an emergency and expanded its response:
- More than 100 National Guard members were deployed to help where needed, especially downstate.
- The state placed road restrictions to reduce crashes and keep plows moving.
- Utility crews were put on standby in case of power problems, even though widespread outages were not expected.
What residents should expect
Officials warned that the heaviest snow would hit later in the day and overnight. In New York City and Long Island, snow could mix with sleet and freezing rain, making roads and sidewalks more dangerous.
Hochul’s main message was simple: if you can stay home, stay home. She urged employers to allow remote work when possible.
Schools and travel changes
Hochul said the mayor announced that New York City schools would switch to remote learning for the next day.
Public transit was expected to continue running on a weekend schedule, but officials said plans could change depending on conditions.
Safety tips: short and practical
The governor also shared basic safety advice:
- Shovel carefully—lift with your legs and take small amounts.
- Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, especially if using heaters.
- Keep emergency items in your car (blanket, charger, water) in case you get stuck.
- Check on elderly neighbors and limit pets’ time outside.
Then the briefing changed tone
Near the end, Hochul shifted from weather to politics. She spoke about a reported incident in Minneapolis involving federal immigration agents and the death of a man she identified as Alex Prey.
Hochul said the incident showed a pattern of dangerous federal actions. She called for leadership changes at the federal level and said states should be able to fully investigate when civilians are harmed.
Bottom line
This briefing became two stories in one:
- New York preparing for a severe winter storm, and
- a strong political message aimed at federal immigration enforcement.
For most New Yorkers, the immediate takeaway remained clear: limit travel, prepare for extreme cold, and follow official alerts.
