In the wake of the NFL’s announcement that global Latin superstar Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has stepped forward with a powerful and measured response — one that’s quickly caught fire among both players and fans.

During a post-practice media session at the NovaCare Complex, Hurts was asked for his thoughts on the league’s decision to go with a pop artist rather than a traditional American performer. His answer? Calm, confident, and unmistakably clear.

“Football is about unity — every fan, every culture, every sound,” Hurts said. “If the NFL wants to show that through music, I’m all for it. But whatever happens on that stage won’t ever matter more than what happens on the field.”

Hurts’ statement struck a balance between respect for the entertainment industry and a reminder of what truly drives the sport — competition, teamwork, and pride. The Eagles locker room, known for its discipline and intensity, reportedly supported Hurts’ remarks. One teammate added, “Jalen’s always about focus. Halftime show or not, he keeps our eyes on the mission — winning.”

The NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny has divided fanbases nationwide, with some praising the move as a celebration of diversity, while others call it a shift away from the sport’s traditional American roots. Hurts’ words, however, seem to bridge that divide — uniting fans under the same message of respect and perseverance.

As the Eagles continue their march through the season, Hurts remains the calm center of Philadelphia’s storm — a leader whose voice carries both weight and wisdom.

“Music changes. Culture evolves,” he added. “But in this city, one thing stays the same — we play tough, we play smart, and we play for each other.”
