Amy Schumer Refuses to Do Super Bowl 2019 Ads in Support of Colin Kaepernick

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer announced Friday she's turned down all offers to appear in Super Bowl advertisements in support of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

"I personally told my reps I wouldn't do a Super Bowl commercial this year," Schumer wrote on Instagram. "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."
