Eric Dickerson does NOT withdraw from his Bad bunny attitude – and now he’s dragging the NFL into the fire!

NaturallyDickerson has been very outspoken about the choice … saying he would prefer someone else play, and emphasizing that Benito should “keep his ass where he is” in Puerto Rico.

So when we spoke to the NFL legend at the San Jose airport on Wednesday ahead of the big game … we had to ask if he had changed his mind.

“No, absolutely not, man,” Dickerson said. “Why can’t we get someone from here, from home? How about someone from here in San Francisco? All these artists around here to play in the Super Bowl.”

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

“He speaks English,” Dickerson said. “I don’t know if it’ll be in Spanish or whatever. What’s the point?”

Dickerson wasn’t done swinging yet.

He also slammed the league’s diversity efforts, calling the Rooney Rule “a crazy joke” and claiming that black coaches still don’t get a fair shot at top jobs.

“You can’t force someone to hire a black coach,” Dickerson said. “Owners are going to do what they want to do. You get comfortable with who looks like you sometimes. That’s exactly it.”

“They’ll do anything for money,” he said. “As an entity, the NFL is one of the most corrupt organizations out there.”
