Fans want to have a little more say in the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show.

Following Maroon 5's performance at the 2019 game, which has been panned nationwide by fans and critics alike, fans are unwilling to sit back and watch the NFL run themselves into the ground.

The Super Bowl suffered a lot of hiccups in finding its halftime show acts.

After the NFL's handling of Colin Kaepernick's protest during the National Anthem, more than five artists reportedly turned down the gig, including Rihanna, Cardi B and P!nk.

And Maroon 5's performance was...well, there's no other description for it:

a yikes festival.

So fans want to take control of the next halftime show to make sure we never go so wrong again.

The Super Bowl in 2020, which will be held in Miami, is already getting fans hyped up.

In fact, the Miami Super Bowl committee released a video for that very purpose.

And the main voice of the video is exactly who fans want at next year's halftime show.

A fan began a petition on Change.org to get Armando Christian Pérez, aka "Pitbull",
to perform next year.

"Our city is a melting pot of all different cultures, and Pitbull is the voice for that," said JP Gutierrez, who started the petition.

"I just think we deserve that."





Pitbull was born in Miami on Janury 15, 1981, to Cuban emigrant parents. He underwent a rather rough upbringing but now represents all of the art and culture of Miami proudly.

"I texted it to my group chat like, 'Hey, what if this happened?'" Gutierrez said, about creating the petition.

"I thought someone's probably going to have the idea to do this, so let me be the one to have the initiative to do it."

And his idea is definitely catching fire.








Pitbull himself has not commented on the choice yet, but if fans want him this much, it leaves the door open.

The show can only get better after this year's, after all.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
