Amy Schumer Says 'it Would be Cool if' Maroon 5 Declined Super Bowl Halftime

Amy Schumer weighed in on this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance, suggesting that Maroon 5 should’ve turned down the offer.

Schumer, who once appeared in a Super Bowl advertisement with Seth Rogen, posted on Instagram in the wake of reports that Rihanna had turned down an opportunity to be the main event at the Super Bowl halftime this year in support of former quarterback, Colin Kaepernick.

Rihanna reportedly declined the NFL’s offer to perform for one of the most-watched performances because Kaepernick has been out of the league for two years as a result of his political stance.

Kaepernick was a voluntary free agent after the 2016 season, but hasn’t been signed to a team yet. He was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem, sparking a protest movement that dominated the league and media attention in 2017.

The Trainwreck star likewise said she would not take an interest in any ads that would air during the year’s Super Bowl. “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.”

Schumer additionally asked “why more white players aren’t kneeling” during the national anthem.

“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?”
