FCC responds after outrage over Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
The Federal Communications Commission has reportedly rejected demands from some Republican lawmakers who wanted an investigation into Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance.
Some lawmakers were already worried before the singer performed at Super Bowl LX. After the show, a few members of Congress criticized the performance again and asked the FCC to take action. They said the show may have broken rules and showed content that was not suitable for children.
But according to a New York Post report, the FCC found no broadcast violations after a brief review. A source told the outlet that the agency “shelved any additional scrutiny barring further evidence.” That decision appears to close the matter, at least for now.
Lawmakers Call For Inquiry, FCC Sees No Violation

Rep. Randy Fine, who represents Florida’s 6th District, publicly called on the FCC to investigate. He claimed the “disgusting halftime show was illegal” and shared translated lyrics from the song “Safaera” to back up his argument.
Critics quickly got an important point. TV broadcasters changed some lyrics during the live show. Artists who perform on national television usually agree to remove explicit words. Bad Bunny followed those normal rules during his performance.
Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee’s 5th District also voiced outrage. He said, “Children were forced to endure gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.” Ogles called for a “formal congressional inquiry” into the performance.
The FCC did not have the same concerns. According to the New York Post’s source, the halftime show “was scrubbed of lyrics that normally include references to sex acts and genitalia.” The source added that the agency found no violations in the act or the songs he performed.
Bad Bunny being chosen for the halftime show upset some critics. They did not like that the NFL picked an artist who mainly performs in Spanish. Turning Point USA also reacted by hosting its own halftime event featuring Kid Rock to take advantage of the criticism.
However, reports suggest regulators do not believe the broadcast broke any laws. Lawmakers in Congress could still review the issue if they want. For now, officials appear ready to move forward.
Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban
Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.
It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.
Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.
On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.
Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget
The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić
While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.
Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.
Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.
Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team
Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.
From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.
Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
