Bad Bunny's selection to headline the Super Bowl halftime show has sparked discussion, while other news includes the release of a Venezuelan opposition politician, the passionate support of Nepalese cricket fans in Mumbai, and the box office performance of an Amazon documentary. Additionally, Lindsey Vonn's participation in the Winter Olympics is under scrutiny.
The National Football League's (NFL) decision to book Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show has raised eyebrows, particularly given the Latin superstar's outspoken views on U.S. immigration policies, according to the New York Times. The league had previously faced significant controversy over player protests during the national anthem, initiated by Colin Kaepernick in 2016, which drew criticism from figures like former President Trump.
In other news, Venezuelan opposition politician Juan Pablo Guanipa was released from jail, his family announced. This release is part of a series of liberations by the Venezuelan government, which is under pressure from the United States to free political prisoners, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, thousands of Nepalese cricket fans transformed Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium into a vibrant display of support for their team during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, according to Al Jazeera. The stadium, with a capacity of 33,000, was filled with fans singing, dancing, and cheering for their team.
The Amazon documentary "Melania" experienced a significant drop in its second weekend at the box office, falling 67% to an estimated $2.37 million, according to TechCrunch. The film, which Amazon acquired and marketed with a combined investment of $75 million, has grossed a total of $13.5 million so far.
Finally, the participation of Lindsey Vonn in the Winter Olympics has been questioned. Vonn, 41, came out of retirement to chase a second Olympic gold, but her participation was highly anticipated. "As long as there's a chance, I will try," she said, according to Sky News.
