Chiefs heir Gracie Hunt backs rival Super Bowl half-time show over Bad Bunny
Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, is throwing her support behind Turning Point USA’s plan to stage an alternative Super Bowl half-time show, a direct counter to the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny at Super Bowl LX.
Hunt said in an appearance on Fox News Channel’s The Will Cain Show on Tuesday that she “most definitely” backs Turning Point’s counter-programming effort, spearheaded by Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk. The NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny for the half-time show has attracted strong pushback from many on the right, who object to his criticism of Donald Trump and US immigration enforcement.
“I really respect Erika for all that she’s done, especially with creating a half-time show for America,” she said. “You know, children are young, they’re impressionable. Young women, young men and everyone, they just need someone to look up to.”
Hunt framed her position through the legacy of her grandfather Lamar Hunt, one of the modern NFL’s founding fathers who coined the Super Bowl name. She said the game was designed to be accessible to fans of all demographics. “When my grandfather named the Super Bowl, he intended it to be something children and families of all ages could come together and watch,” she said. “That football is the attraction and that it didn’t need to compromise its character or rely on cheap appeal to draw an audience.”

So, she's nailed her swastika to the Chiefs' mast. Hopefully the rest of the family can prevent here ever getting control of the team.
