Eric Dickerson isn’t just sitting on the sidelines when it comes to Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl halftime show; he’s taking the field with some fierce criticism. The Hall of Fame running back is doubling down on his opinions, suggesting that the NFL should showcase local artists rather than a global superstar. During a recent encounter at the San Jose airport, he made it clear that he’d prefer a homegrown performer over a talent from Puerto Rico, even going so far as to tell Bad Bunny to “keep his ass where he’s at.”
Dickerson also raised eyebrows with his skepticism about whether a Spanish-language performance would resonate with American audiences. He’s not shy about labeling the NFL as a corrupt organization, targeting their diversity efforts and calling the Rooney Rule “a freaking joke.” With this firestorm of remarks, it seems Dickerson is determined to challenge the status quo and bring attention to issues he feels are getting buried beneath outrageous halftime antics. If Bad Bunny’s looking for a friendly welcome, he may want to kick that idea to the curb!
