ABC Touts Super Bowl Boycott, Quotes Jay-Z Protest: ‘I Don’t Need You’

[See NewsBusters for more.] For two days in a row, Good Morning America promoted the idea of celebrities boycotting the Super Bowl half time show in honor of Colin Kaepernick. On Monday, T.J. Holmes touted far-left actress Amy Schumer and whined about musical bands not getting paid: “Amy Schumer even refused to do a Super Bowl ad citing the Colin Kaepernick controversy. And also, keep in mind, guys, that the artists don't get paid to perform at the Super Bowl.” There is the 100 million people who watch the game after all. Citing a Variety story full with unnamed sources, co-host Amy Robach alerted that “performers are saying not so fast.” Holmes noted the amount of people who watch the game, but reminded, “Well, that was before Colin Kaepernick took a knee in protest.”
