Super Bowl, Housing, & Politics: What's at Stake?

Super Bowl LX winners will receive a significant financial bonus, while Malaysia eyes 2026 as a year of policy execution, and political figures like Bad Bunny and Jasmine Crockett make headlines, according to multiple news sources. Players on the winning team of Super Bowl LX will earn a $178,000 bonus, as per the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, a $7,000 increase from the previous year, according to Fortune. Meanwhile, Malaysia's Economy Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir stated that 2026 will be a year of "execution" for the Anwar Ibrahim administration, focusing on delivering the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13) before the next general elections, which could occur as early as February 2028, also according to Fortune.

The Super Bowl bonus comes in addition to earlier playoff payouts, with wild-card and divisional-round wins also triggering bonuses, Fortune reported. The focus on 2026 for Malaysia reflects a strategic approach to solidify policy achievements within a relatively short timeframe, as the country must hold general elections no later than February 2028. "2026 is going to be about how we deliver RMK13," Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir told Fortune.

In other news, Bad Bunny is set to make history as the first Latin solo artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, according to Time. This performance follows the Grammy Awards, where several celebrities, including Bad Bunny, criticized President Donald Trump's immigration policies. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell supported the artist's selection, stating, "Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world, and thats one of the reasons we chose him," according to Time.

Additionally, US Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is gaining national attention, according to Vox. Crockett has become known for her sharp attacks and is seen as a rising political star.
