They want money. That’s all.

1. I didn’t think it was a big deal. There have always been people here whose first language is not English. Whatever. At least they chose a patriotic song, not a repeat of some globalist “teach the world to sing” drivel.

2. People complaining about the ad should keep in mind that anything you say may be used as part of a leftist “see!i told you conservatives are racist” narrative. Just be careful what you write.

At first I thought, “Oh, no, another politically correct liberal feel-good promotion.” Maybe they intended it that way, who knows.

But they did some interesting things.

They sang the verse “God shed his grace on thee” in English quite prominently as they switched languages.

They also sang in HEBREW.

Other things were OK too.

Not everything that seems politically correct is fully bad. We do not live in isolation and this might be OK for public consumption by the entire world and by low information voters who are generally irrational and can only be won over by gradually educating them.

Remember that this is an advertisement not only to these USA, but to the world.

And we believe America is Beautiful (which was their tag line) and that God Shed His Grace On Thee!” and we are happy to have Israel sing with us. It’s kind of a good message about these USA.

When she was singing in English, her voice was as pure as anyone I’ve heard.

It was offensive. Foreigners should go sing their own songs.

It sucked. The Super Bowl is American. Coke is an American product. Speak friggin’ English. Stop this PC crap. There, I said it.

Didn’t see it, but heard about it. Insulting. This is America. Speak English. America the beautiful is about America.

That was a Coke ad? I really had no idea what it was advertising. Bring back the polar bears.

It was Anti-American, literally. America is a country whose motto is
E PLURABUS UNUM.

How about respecting our culture. America the Beautiful was written in English so sing it in English. Ever heard The Internationale sung in English?

I guess I am one of the few people who liked the taste of the new coke better.

I like the old coke poured into a glass or from a glass bottle but can’t take it from a can.

I thought it was a terrible waste of their advertising dollars.
