Dasher, a member of the Robertson family, said he no longer allows his children to watch the halftime show, calling it "debaucherous" and increasingly inappropriate for families.
The outspoken Christian and Robertson family member suggested that what was once a shared cultural moment has steadily spiraled into something far more explicit - and far less appropriate for children.
"It's just progressively gotten more debaucherous," he said.
For Dasher, the decision to tune out wasn't recent.
He said the moment that permanently turned him off came more than two decades ago.
"I was out on the Super Bowl halftime, honestly, years ago with the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction," he said.
During the conversation about culture, parenting and faith, Dasher explained that he's increasingly disengaged not just from the halftime show, but from much of mainstream entertainment altogether.
"Well, I've about turned it all off too. I mean, it's hard - it's just too much. And the outrage culture too. I don't like that either," Dasher said.
While Dasher's comments echo frustrations, he also warned against allowing cultural battles to devolve into nonstop anger.
Rather than leaning into outrage, Dasher emphasized what he sees as a spiritual solution - not a political one.
"And I think the power of the gospel to speak into a moment like this - it really is there. There is hope. If you get so into the cultural divide - for me, and this may not be for you - it robs me of my joy. It robs me of the vision and the hope I have in the kingdom."
The Super Bowl halftime show remains one of the most-watched television events of the year, routinely sparking instant backlash and praise online.
Dasher's comments come after the Super Bowl LX halftime show featuring Latin trap artist Bad Bunny being the subject of immense criticism from Americans on Sunday night.
"Listen, Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world and that's one of the reasons we chose him," Goodell said. "But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that - and I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that."
