NFL legend Brett Favre would pick 'someone who loves this country' to perform Super Bowl halftime show

The co-hosts of "The View" praised the NFL's decision to tap Bad Bunny as this season's Super Bowl halftime performer on Monday and lauded it as a good business decision.

NFL legend Brett Favre named the musical act he would like to see perform the Super Bowl LV halftime show in Santa Clara, California, next year instead of Bad Bunny.

The NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny for the show drew backlash last month as the Grammy Award-winning artist has been critical of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Favre said during an episode of his "4th & Favre" podcast he would pick someone else.

"I’d pick someone who … maybe Jason Aldean, or, you know, someone who loves this country and that everyone could relate to," Favre said. "I think Jason Aldean right now is as big a patriot and has a great voice. But I like George Strait – that’s old school. There’s a lot of choices out there.

"I remember when Whitney Houston sang the national anthem and I was blown away. If you didn’t have tears in your eyes watching and listening to that, something’s wrong with you. I envision a national anthem and a halftime show, they’re two different things but, it really grabs you."
