🔥 **$10 MILLION STEEL CITY STANDOFF! ART ROONEY II SLAMS $10M INTO TPUSA’S “ALL-AMERICAN HALFTIME SHOW” — STEELERS CHAIRMAN’S DIRECT HIT AT BAD BUNNY: “BLACK AND YELLOW OVER REGGAETON — AMERICA FIRST!” 🇺🇸🖤💛
PITTSBURGH – November 13, 2025 – The Super Bowl just swapped scrums for schisms, and Art Rooney II — the 73-year-old steel-hearted steward of six Lombardi Trophies — is swinging the sledgehammer. In a thunderclap that’s rattling Levi’s Stadium from the Burgh, the Steelers chairman has forked over $10 million to rocket-fuel Turning Point USA’s insurgent “All-American Halftime Show,” a black-and-gold infused broadside aimed square at Bad Bunny’s bilingual blitz on February 8, 2026.
This ain’t charity. It’s chutzpah with a checkbook. Rooney, heir to the dynasty his grandfather “The Chief” forged from the ashes of Depression-era flops, ignited the fuse on X Thursday:
“Bad Bunny at Super Bowl? No black and yellow, no American grit. I’m wiring $10M to TPUSA for a halftime that roars for faith, family, and the Steel City soul. Let’s make it Pittsburgh proud! 🖤💛 #HereWeGoHalftime”
The windfall warps TPUSA’s renegade revue from fringe feed to fireworks frenzy, commanded by Erika Kirk — the iron-willed widow of assassinated conservative colossus Charlie Kirk, who seized the CEO throne after his September 2025 sniper slaying at Utah Valley University. “This is for Americans who still bleed black and yellow — the colors of resilience, not retreat,” Kirk blasted in a fiery Phoenix briefing. “Bad Bunny’s borderless beats? Save ’em for the charts. Super Bowl? We’re unleashing military choirs thumping ‘Sweet Caroline’ with a Steelers twist, country crushers like Chris Stapleton and Zach Bryan belting blue-collar anthems, and a 1,000-drone Terrible Towel wave that’ll blanket the Bay in black and gold. Bold? It’s unbreakable.”
THE CURTAIN VS. THE CONTROVERSY
Super Bowl LX was geared for 135 million mesmerized by Bad Bunny’s Spanglish spectacle — the Puerto Rican provocateur’s sole U.S. stage since his 2025 tour dodged deportation drama. Unveiled September 28 amid Sunday Night Football sizzle, the 4.5-billion-stream sensation dubbed it “a slam dunk for my roots, my revolution.” But the backlash barreled in like a Blount stiff-arm: Trump thundered “absurd!” from Mar-a-Lago, Speaker Mike Johnson slammed it “disgraceful,” and a Change.org crusade to crown George Strait instead surged past 200K signatures.
Cue TPUSA: The youth right-wing juggernaut (1.8M chapters post-Kirk) countered October 9 with their alt-act blueprint — beamed live on Rumble and X at the precise 6:30 p.m. ET pause, poaching eyeballs like a fourth-and-goal gamble. Polls? Deadlocked deadlock: 53% groove to Bunny’s global grind, 47% hunger for Kirk’s heartland harmony. Rooney’s riches? It crushes the tie, unleashing:
- Martial melody makers: USO outfits and vet voices fusing “Renegade” with reverent “Taps” nods to fallen Steelers.
- Country coliseum crushers: Stapleton’s soulful snarls, Bryan’s barroom bangers, plus scuttlebutt of Blake Shelton shotgun-blasting a Terrible Towel tribute.
- Drone Dominion: 1,000 glowing UAVs unfurling a pulsating Steel Curtain skyline, timed to fireworks that’ll thunder from Santa Clara to the Mon Valley.
- Dynasty Dedication: A Kirk commemoration with Gold Star glimmers and a Rooney family reel — “The Chief’s encore,” Erika vows.
Backers? Deafening drumbeat. “Rooney just roofed the woke NFL!” booms TPUSA scion Charlie Kirk Jr. Petitions explode, MAGA marches murmur “English or Exile!” — signatures now at 250K.
Naysayers? Nitro-fueled backlash. Bad Bunny bit back on IG: “Puerto Rico’s black and yellow too — y’all missed the memo, Steelers?” Kimmel (post-pause) skewered: “Rooney funding drones? Hope they form ‘LOSERS’ over Acrisure.” Pundits pummel: “Super Bowl’s solidarity, not a Rooney rally with ribs.”
AMERICA’S HALFTIME HOLDOUT CBS cranks Bunny’s boundary-blurring bash; TPUSA’s torrent targets 65M “steel souls.” Rooney? Revved and ready: “Catch both. But skip the subtitles — ours is straight-talkin’ stripes and Steelers steel.” Erika Kirk caps it: “We’re not storming the gates. We’re raising our own — with tougher towels and truer tunes.”
February 8? No end zone ecstasy. Just a national nerve-check: Global glam or gridiron gospel?
This Super Bowl? It’s not for the Vince Lombardi. It’s for the family legacy.
Your halftime hustle? Bunny’s blue blaze… or Rooney’s black-and-yellow bellow?
