<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe Super Bowl is now in the history books and already forgotten by most Americans. I don\u2019t know if there was more talk about the Seahawks and the Patriots or the Super Bowl halftime show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I admit, I had never heard of Bad Bunny until he was announced a few months back as this year\u2019s halftime entertainment. Later, I heard him talk at the Grammy awards but I couldn\u2019t understand anything he said. Actually, I don\u2019t understand Spanish or any other languages. I often go to Mexican restaurants but don\u2019t understand what the waiters and cooks are saying to each other. I hope they are saying how glad they are to see me or something nice like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever I am in an Asian restaurant and the workers are talking I don\u2019t understand them either. I\u2019ve been to a few foreign countries and I never understand what they are saying. It really is helpful when people in France or Germany are able to communicate in English. Seems like the people in cities like Berlin or Paris speak better English than the people further away from the cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess I am growing more and more disadvantaged. I work with a number of people from Myanmar. They are extremely nice but most of them struggle with English. They have been in America for years and seem to be managing. They are managing better here than I would in Myanmar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Years ago, I spent a couple of weeks in South Africa. That country has twelve official languages. English is their predominant language. Thus, it was easier for us to navigate in the country. Yet, I don\u2019t know how a country functions with so many official languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve heard people say they loved the Superbowl show and some say they hated the show. I\u2019ve heard others say they watched alternate shows. Then there a handful of people like me who wishes they would cancel the halftime show or just have the marching band from the local university entertain us. That won\u2019t happen because the Super Bowl is about Super money. Big money. Advertising spots went from $8 to $10 million each with total advertising revenue for NBC estimated at $700 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, I didn\u2019t understand a word Bad Bunny had to say. By the way it\u2019s taken me forever to get his name straight. I thought it was Bugs Bunny and then I thought it was Blue Bunny and then Big Bunny. I apologize for being slow to understand that his name is Bad Bunny. He doesn\u2019t act bad. He looks like a nice fellow. He is from Puerto Rico and he seems to carry a tune well. Yet, I don\u2019t know what he is saying. Although I wasn\u2019t raised Hispanic, I love Hispanic people. At this stage of my life, I just don\u2019t have time to learn another language. Maybe I will have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope that next year\u2019s Superbowl halftime show will be in English. Oh yea, I couldn\u2019t understand Lady Gaga. Until she sang, I thought there was something wrong with my television. I have read Bad Bunny is fluent in English. This is America. Most Americans only speak English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess it must have worked for the National Football League. However, it didn\u2019t work for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
