Comic Amy Schumer backs Kaepernick, says she won't do Super Bowl ads

U.S. comedian and actress Amy Schumer has said she will not appear in any commercials during the 2019 Super Bowl in support of National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick's protests against racial injustice. "I personally told my reps I wouldn't do a Super Bowl commercial this year," Schumer wrote in an Instagram post on Friday. "Hitting the nfl with the advertisers is the only way to really hurt them."
