NFL gives Green Day Super Bowl opening ceremony

Don’t wanna be an American idiot
Don’t want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America
Green Day, American Idiot

Whether or not you are an NFL fan, we have to give it credit for Trump resistance.

First, if money is power, the NFL is very powerful. It is valued at hundreds of billions of dollars, making it the richest sports league in the world. Which means that unlike FIFA, the global football/soccer organization that gave Trump a made-up peace prize, the NFL doesn’t have to bend a knee, kiss an ass, or give a shit.

To prove it, the NFL gave the iconic half-time show to Bad Bunny, a massive star from Puerto Rico (yes, he is American) who sings only in Spanish. Now the transgressive punk band Green Day will play at the opening ceremony.

Super Bowl LX Green Day to Kick Off Game, Another Trump Dig!!!

Published January 19, 2026

Donald Trump’s haters are absolutely thriving right now … Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has been outspoken about his disdain for the present administration … and the band has just been tapped to open the Super Bowl!

The punk rock band — which hails from Rodeo, California, in the Bay Area — will kick off Super Bowl LV at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, February 8.

Billie Joe released a statement … “We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard! We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”

This comes after the singer led a crowd at Download Festival last summer in a chant calling Trump a “fat bastard.”

Remember … Trump had a lot to say about Bad Bunny — another known Trump critic — headlining this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, calling the decision “absolutely ridiculous.”

He complained … “I’ve never heard of him. I don’t know who he is,” in an interview with Newsmax’s Greg Kelly in October.
