TRUMP SNUBS Woke Super Bowl: Says California Venue 'Too Far' as NFL Doubles Down on Anti-American Performers

President Donald Trump delivered a crushing blow to the NFL's woke agenda, announcing he'll skip this year's Super Bowl and slamming the halftime performers as a "terrible choice" that epitomizes everything wrong with today's entertainment industry.

The 47th President didn't mince words when criticizing the selection of Bad Bunny and Green Day – two acts known more for their left-wing political activism than actual talent. Trump cited both the "terrible choice" of performers and California's distance as reasons for his absence, delivering a clear message that he won't legitimize the NFL's continued embrace of anti-American performers.

This latest snub represents a stark contrast to Trump's previous relationship with professional sports, but reflects the growing divide between patriotic Americans and an entertainment industry that seems determined to alienate half the country. Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper, has been a vocal critic of Trump, while Green Day has spent decades pushing left-wing political messages through their music.

NFL's Woke Problem Gets Worse

The NFL's decision to feature these performers comes as no surprise to conservatives who have watched the league systematically embrace every progressive cause while ignoring the concerns of their core fanbase. From Colin Kaepernick's anti-police protests to the league's partnership with social justice organizations, the NFL has repeatedly chosen woke politics over American values.

"It's really a shame what's happened to the Super Bowl," a White House source close to the President reportedly said. "You used to be able to watch America's biggest sporting event without having leftist politics shoved down your throat."

Trump's absence sends a powerful signal to the millions of Americans who are tired of having their entertainment hijacked by performers who despise the very country that made their success possible. While previous presidents might have felt obligated to attend regardless of the circumstances, Trump continues to show he'll put principles over protocol.

The question now is whether everyday Americans will follow the President's lead and tune out an event that seems more interested in promoting globalist messaging than celebrating American excellence. Will you be watching this year's woke Super Bowl spectacle?

Good for Trump! Why should he waste his time traveling across the country to watch a bunch of millionaire athletes disrespect our flag and country?

Exactly! Let them perform to their woke audience in California while real Americans find better ways to spend their Sunday.

Who are they having perform this year? Please tell me it's not another rapper who hates America and cops.

Smart move by Trump. The NFL made their choice when they decided to go woke - now they can deal with losing half their audience.

Their ratings have been tanking for years because of this nonsense. Actions have consequences!

I stopped watching the NFL years ago when they started kneeling during the anthem. Haven't missed it one bit - found much better ways to spend my Sundays with family instead of supporting anti-American propaganda.
