Eric Dickerson doubles down on Bad Bunny criticism, calls NFL ‘corrupt’

Eric Dickerson do NOT back down from his Bad bunny position – and now he’s dragging the NFL into the fire!

Hall of Fame running back tells TMZ Sports he’s doubling down on the global superstar’s headlining opposition during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Of courseDickerson was very outspoken about this choice… saying he would prefer someone else to play, insisting that Benito should “keep his butt where he is” in Puerto Rico.

So when we caught up with the NFL legend Wednesday at the San Jose airport before the big game…we had to ask him if he’d changed his mind.

“Hell no. Absolutely not, man,” Dickerson said. “Why can’t we bring someone from here, from back home? How about someone from here in San Francisco? All these artists right here in the region to play the Super Bowl.”

Dickerson also questioned whether a Spanish-language performance would resonate with American audiences.

“He speaks English,” Dickerson said. “I don’t know if it will be in Spanish or something. What does that mean?”

The former Rams star then dove deeper into the controversy… saying he doesn’t view Puerto Rico the same way as the mainland United States, although he insisted he has nothing against the island itself.

Dickerson wasn’t done swinging.

He also blasted the league’s diversity efforts, calling the Rooney Rule a “fucking joke” and arguing that black coaches still don’t get fair chances at top positions.

“You can’t force someone to hire a black coach,” Dickerson said. “The owners will do what they want. Sometimes you feel comfortable with whoever looks like you. That’s all.”

ED also took aim at the league.

“They would do anything for money,” he said. “As an entity, the NFL is one of the most corrupt organizations in existence.”

Long story short, the NFL legend isn’t backing down…at all!
