Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) known as for a proper congressional inquiry into Unhealthy Bunny’s Tremendous Bowl halftime efficiencyaccusing the present of that includes “specific and indecent content material.”
In an announcement shared on X Monday night, Ogles requested for the Power and Commerce Committee to guide an investigation into what the Nationwide Soccer League and NBCUniversal knew about Unhealthy Bunny’s set, suggesting they helped facilitate, what he known as, an “indecent broadcast.”
“I write to request that you simply open a proper congressional inquiry,” Ogles wrote, “according to the Committee’s jurisdiction over broadcast regulation and FCC oversight, into the Nationwide Soccer League (NFL) and NBCUniversal concerning their prior data, assessment and approval of specific and indecent content material broadcast throughout the Apple Music Tremendous Bowl LX Halftime Present on February 8, 2026.”
He continued: “The halftime efficiency, headlined by Unhealthy Bunny, was aired dwell throughout primetime hours on over-the air-television and seen by tens of hundreds of thousands of Individuals, together with a considerable variety of youngsters and households. The Tremendous Bowl is constantly the biggest household viewing occasion in American media. As such, broadcasters bear a heightened duty to make sure that programming aired throughout this uniquely nationwide occasion complies with longstanding broadcast decency expectations and serves the general public curiosity.”
Coal particularly took challenge with the performances of “Safaera,” which he known as “a observe broadly recognized for specific sexual references and graphic lyrical content material,” and “Yo Perreo Sola,” which he stated had “choreography that includes overtly sexualized actions, together with widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts and different sexually suggestive conduct.”
“Whereas the set was carried out predominantly in Spanish, it relied on songs whose sexual content material remained readily obvious throughout any language barrier,” Ogles went on. “This language barrier didn’t mitigate the express nature of the fabric. Reasonably, it heightened the broadcasters obligation to train affordable diligence in reviewing, translating and evaluating the content material previous to airing. I’m additionally involved that there could also be much less readability within the utility of current guidelines to non-English language content material, significantly the place enforcement depends on public complaints and broadcaster-provided translations. We should make sure that we maintain Spanish language content material to the identical requirements and expectations we have now for English language content material.”
Per Ogles, it’s “extremely implausible” that the NFL and NBCUniversal have been unaware of the specifics surrounding Unhealthy Bunny’s set, given the halftime efficiency required rehearsals and advance manufacturing directives.
