“I personally told my reps I wouldn’t do a Super Bowl commercial this year. I know it must sound like a privilege-ass sacrifice, but it’s all I got. Hitting the NFL with the advertisers is the only way to really hurt them.”
This statement by I Feel Pretty star Amy Schumer must have hit the NFL pretty hard. She is starting his own kind of NFL protests. Her first statement which started all this was
“why more white players aren’t kneeling.”

Not only this, but she is also kind of hoping Maroon 5 to back out from their halftime show in the Superbowl. Some also speculate that because of her remark, Rihanna didn’t perform in support of Colin Kaepernick.
Schumer also tagged Colin telling “anyone who says” kneeling is “disrespectful to our military” should read up on the facts that a lot of veterans are proud of what Kaepernick is doing and are supporting him to the fullest.
“Once you witness the truly deep inequality and endless racism people of color face in our country, not to mention the police brutality and murders. Why not kneel next to your brothers? Otherwise, how are you not complicit?”
the 37-year-old comedian wrote.
