Why Super Bowl 60 Has Sparked Debate
By the time the lights flooded Levi’s Stadium, it was clear this Super Bowl wasn’t just about a trophy. In the parking lots,
fans shared legal hotline numbers alongside tailgate food. Inside, immigrant families sat a little straighter, hyper-aware of uniforms that weren’t team colors.
The roar after each play carried something extra—defiance, exhaustion, a fragile hope that joy could still be claimed in public.
Bad Bunny’s message echoed in homemade signs and whispered reassurances: this space is ours, too. Trump’s critique hung over the night like static,
sharpening every disagreement about who “real” America is. Seahawks and Patriots jerseys became temporary flags in a larger, unspoken argument about identity,
power, and belonging. When the confetti finally fell, it didn’t resolve anything. But it proved one thing: the stadium may close,
yet the conversation about who gets to feel safe cheering in America is only beginning.
