"Wherever you are, it's okay to have a tear in your eye and feel proud that Benito sang in Spanish at the Americans' most important party," the sports journalist recounted during his live broadcast for the American television network.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known in the reggaeton world as Bad Bunny, presented a halftime show this Sunday that marked a milestone in the Super Bowl by being the first Latin American singer to perform entirely in Spanish at this sporting spectacle, an icon of American culture.
The emotional reaction of the journalist, who stated he is "Mexican-American, the son of an American woman," caused controversy among the segment of American society that opposed the performance of the 'Bad Bunny' on the Super Bowl stage.

Among the most critical of John Sutcliffe's reaction in the journalistic community is Laura Loomer, who claims to be an investigative reporter and, like President Donald Trump, advocates for the slogan: "America First."
On her social media, Loomer lashed out at the sports journalist, saying that with his comments, as well as those of others, "they want to erase American and white culture from the United States, and they are not hiding it."
Her rejection was also directed at Bad Bunny and the musical spectacle he put on at the Patriots vs. Seahawks field, where Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin were the star guests, Latin culture was highlighted, and it was put at the center of the conversation that 'America' is the entire continent and not just the United States territory.
"The ritual of humiliation continues. Latin announcers boast about how 'incredible' it is that Bad Bunny has appropriated 'the Americans' most important party' by singing only in Spanish," Loomer declared on her X account.
It should be noted that the ESPN journalist, Sutcliffe, not only applauded Bad Bunny but also emphasized the symbolic content of the halftime show he presented.
"The message Bunny sent, whether you like his music or not, is with love, with culture, with affection... in a world where suddenly everyone is fighting, and recognizing Lady Gaga, and that Ricky Martin did come, it's also worth it today. Whether you are in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, or wherever you are, it's okay to have a tear in your eye," he commented in a video that went viral beyond the network he works for.
