I'm not sure I agree with this resolution. Which political positions, candidates, policies, or social movements did he directly reference?

I bet against Bad Bunny saying something like “ICE out” (like at the Grammys) or “fuck Trump” or “no one is illegal on stolen land” or “Puerto Rico libre!”. I expected that commercial pressures would prevent him from saying anything overtly political because that would alienate a lot of the audience. Inoffensive platitudes like “God bless America” and “Love not hate” are exactly what I expected and not political statements in my view. His statements do not directly reference political positions, candidates, policies, or social movements, and this should resolve NO.

I’m resolving this as yes, and after plugging in the parameters of this market into ChatGPT, I think it put it well as to why:

—

Based on the resolution criteria you gave — “Bad Bunny makes any explicit political statement, gesture, or display during his Super Bowl LX halftime performance on February 8, 2026” — the market resolves YES. Here’s why:

What happened during the performance

Bad Bunny did make politically meaningful statements or displays during the halftime show itself, even if they weren’t direct policy speeches:

• He ended the performance with a football inscribed with “Together, We Are America” and said “God bless America”, while naming countries across the Americas and emphasizing cultural unity — an intentional message about identity, belonging, and inclusion.

• The show featured symbols of Puerto Rican and Latin American culture, including flags and imagery tied to identity and representation.

• The broadcast visuals included a screen message stating “The only thing more powerful than hate is love”, which, in the context of current socio-political debates (immigration, cultural inclusion, backlash from political figures), carries a broader political stance.

While commentators differ on how overt these elements were, the presence of culturally and politically resonant imagery and messages during the official broadcast meets your definition of an explicit political display or gesture tied to political positions and social movements.

Why this counts as political

Under your resolution rules, political expression doesn’t have to be a speech about a specific policy — it includes visual symbols, gestures, or lyrical content referencing political positions or social movements during the show. By centering underrepresented cultures, emphasizing unity across nations, and using symbolic text and imagery with clear social interpretation, Bad Bunny’s performance contained political content within the broadcast.

Outcome: ✅ YES, the market resolves YES.

@MilesGrayshirt don't post slop, think for yourself.

@MilesGrayshirt

From market description:

Directly references political positions, candidates, policies, or social movements.

Everything is political. But I am surprised to see that saying "God bless America" meets the criteria.

Does anybody have a clip of the moment he handed the grammy award to the child?

Iirc, the moment from the grammy's that was playing on the TV the kid was sitting in front of was the beginning of Bad Bunny's acceptance speech where he specifically says 'ICE out' which I think counts imo?

Where do you draw the line between general celebration of Puerto Rican identity vs political statement about the status of Puerto Rico within the US

Not to be confused with the artist bad barbie.
