Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., went to the Super Bowl last year, but this year might be a no-go for the SEC championship-winning football coach.
The former Auburn football coach did not explicitly say he wouldn't be watching the game, but he did say that Bad Bunny's halftime show was off-limits.
"Unfortunately, we've got, I call it the Woke Bowl, because we're getting more and more woke," Tuberville told Newsmax in a recent interview.

"And we've got Bad Bunny, or Bad Rabbit, at halftime. I'll be watching the (Turning Point USA) halftime show. It's just unfortunate we've gotten to this point."
Tuberville's apparent protest comes days after President Donald Trump announced that he will not be at the big game.
"It's just too far away," Trump said of the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. "I would, I've [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me."
Bad Bunny's nod to do the halftime show has been criticized, even by Trump.

"I don't know who he is," Trump told Newsmax of the choice last fall. "I don't know why they're doing it. It's crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it's absolutely ridiculous."
Bad Bunny said last fall he decided to do his residency show in his native Puerto Rico and didn't book any U.S. dates on his tour over fears his fans would be detained by ICE agents.
Green Day will play before kickoff - frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has also been critical of the president. He has likened Trump to Hitler in the past, and the band frequently changes the line "I'm not part of a redneck agenda" from their 2004 hit "American Idiot" to "I'm not part of the MAGA agenda" in more recent live performances, according to The Independent.
"I'm anti-them," Trump told the New York Post of the performers. "I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."
The game will feature the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 8.
