Eric Dickerson, a Hall of Fame NFL player, recently expressed strong criticism of Bad Bunny’s involvement in the Super Bowl halftime show. Speaking to a TMZ photographer at LAX, Dickerson urged the Latin music star to stay away from the Super Bowl if he has negative feelings toward the United States.
Criticism of Bad Bunny
During his remarks, Dickerson referenced comments he had heard from Bad Bunny regarding America. He emphasized his deep love for his country, suggesting that if the pop star doesn’t share that sentiment, he should refrain from participating in American events like the Super Bowl.
Background on the Dispute
The conversation took place shortly after Bad Bunny’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” where he addressed his critics. Dickerson’s comments stirred a pot of controversy, particularly when he was reminded that Bad Bunny is an American citizen through Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. However, Dickerson maintained his opinion, stating, “But, it’s not the U.S. That’s the way I look at it.”
Public Reactions
Eric Dickerson did not specify the exact comments of Bad Bunny that prompted his disapproval. This conversation aligns with the recent discussions surrounding Bad Bunny’s choice to avoid performing in the continental U.S. during his “DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS” tour due to concerns over potential ICE raids. The artist previously reached the number one spot on Billboard’s Top Latin Artists of the 21st Century Chart, highlighting his significant impact on the music industry.
