Amy Schumer on Friday questioned whether or not white players in the NFL who don't kneel with their black teammates are 'complicit' in the 'endless racism people of color face in our country.'

The "Trainwreck" star went on to propose that more white players should stand up for their “brothers and sisters of color” by taking a knee.

“I wonder why more white players aren’t kneeling,” she wrote. “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?”

The 37-year-old comedian backed the NFL’s anthem kneelers in an Instagram post, writing that she would avoid being in any Super Bowl ad in hopes to "really hurt [the NFL]."

“Hitting the nfl with the advertisers is the only way to really hurt them,” Schumer wrote while voicing support for Colin Kaepernick. “I know opposing the nfl is like opposing the nra. Very tough, but don’t you want to be proud of how you’re living?”

Schumer also suggested that it would be “cool” if Maroon 5, the band reportedly set to headline the half-time show, pull out like Rihanna reportedly had done earlier this week.

Colin Kaepernick, a former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, began kneeling during the national anthem at NFL games during the 2016 season to call attention to social injustices and racial inequality. It's since sparked a national discussion about patriotism and has drawn the ire of President Trump.

More recently, Kaepernick sparked controversy after he kicked off his "Just Do It" campaign with Nike. The company released an ad featuring Kaepernick's face with the quote, "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."

Here's her problem...there isn't a widespread issue of police brutality and murders in the U.S. The statistics don't show that is true but Mob will tell you statistics don't matter haha.

70% of NFL players are black and she is talking about opposing the NFL. Does anyone see how absolutely dumb this is?

People are brainwashed or hypnotized, no other explanation.

Notice how she(just like every other sjw leftist) doesn't get specific. When they do they are always shut down with facts and statistics. Then they got to "my feelings" Or something tha happened in the past. More virtue signaling. Basically what she is saying is.....I am better than you

Here is another clown lmao. all other races orbit around whiteness. No, you live in a majority white country. Gayness orbits around straightness. No, most people are straight. Transgender orbits around cisgender. No, only a small number of the population is trans.

I love these celeberities that talk this crap. Then they always go live in the whitest neighborhoods.

Why do white people constantly let it bother them when other white people see racism? Just move on with your day and stop letting racism bother you so much. Let and let live.

That was definitely worth while to post. When you don't agree with an opinion simply name call. Adds a lot and really proves your point.

Just an opinion , like you posted your “ why do white people opinion” worth while post.

Isnt there a haunted house you are working in today?

Because it means nothing. It is mostly virtue signaling. Just because you say something is racist does not make it so. Just because you say youmare fighting for justice and equality, doesn't mean you are or that it is needed

Didn't Kayne West do the exact same but in reverse. (slavery was a choice, etc). If you're going tolerate it when it's inside your group but have a problem with it when it's outside your group you are part of the problem.

If her opinion about kneeling was based on fact, it would be a different story. The entire kneeling narrative is based on big fat lies.

do not disagree with you on this one. I think Kayne is mentally ill, but your quote describes just about every liberal in the world.

This is exactly why our news stations are the way they are now...everyone simply wants to be told they are correct and never wants to have their opinions challenged or to see any validity to arguments made to the opposite. All that comes back either way are personal insults or juvenile name calling....
