Super Bowl LX will see players on the winning team earn a $178,000 bonus, according to Fortune, while the selection of Bad Bunny for the halftime show has sparked questions of political influence. Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance was met with boos at the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, and a new study challenges conventional wisdom about housing affordability.
Players on the winning team in Super Bowl LX will receive a league-paid bonus of $178,000, an increase of $7,000 from the previous year, as outlined in the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, Fortune reported. This bonus comes in addition to payouts from earlier playoff rounds.
The choice of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show has raised questions about potential political undertones. The performance follows the Grammy Awards, where several celebrities, including Bad Bunny, criticized former President Donald Trump's immigration policies, Time noted. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the selection, stating that Bad Bunny is "one of the great artists in the world" and understands the platform he is on.
Vice President J.D. Vance faced a negative reception at the opening ceremonies of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games. When he appeared on the stadium's big screen, boos and jeers erupted from the crowd of 65,000 people, Time reported. While President Trump seemed unconcerned, recent polls suggest that Vance's unpopularity may extend beyond the U.S. A YouGov poll released on February 6 found unfavorable views of the U.S. among Western European nations.
In other news, a recent study suggests that the housing affordability crisis may be more complex than previously thought. Researchers, including UC Irvine PhD student Schuyler Louie and San Francisco Fed researchers, found a strong correlation between average income growth and house price growth, according to Fortune. However, they found almost no connection between average income growth and the growth in housing supply. Instead, housing supply growth has a strong positive relationship with population growth.
Finally, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has emerged as a prominent figure in politics, Vox reported. In just two terms in the House of Representatives, she has gained national recognition for her sharp attacks and political style.
