Amy Schumer has not yet laid out how she intends to win the peace, but the Hollywood actress is saying that she has won her war against the Super Bowl, and its halftime show.
In October, angered by what she perceived to be the marginalization and punishment of players like Colin Kaepernick who she believes are fighting for minority rights, Schumer called for Maroon 5 to back out of their deal to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. She also called on other musical acts to boycott the event, and pledged that she would not perform in any Super Bowl halftime commercials.
Schumer seems to have been successful in her latter demands. No other musical acts have joined Maroon 5 and, in a matter she has absolute control of, she has not inked any deals to appear in commercials. However, Maroon 5 has not backed out of their agreement to perform.
Nonetheless, Schumer took to social media to declare victory.
On Wednesday, Schumer lashed out at “snooty” sports writers who fail to appreciate her calls for a boycott.
As TMZ reports:
Colin Kaepernick remains unemployed by the NFL. However, the former 49er is still pressing his collusion suit against the league. In which he and fellow petitioner Eric Reid, allege that league owners colluded to keep them out of the league due to their anthem protests.
