Thousands Sign Maroon 5 Petition in Support Kaepernick CelebNsports247.com reports that fan have decided to take action and create a petition on Change.org that is calling on Maroon 5 to drop out of the Super Bowl Halftime show.

Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick is in an ongoing legal dispute with the league after he filed a collusion grievance against owners in 2017. Kaep is fighting back after he was blacklisted for his on-field protests against police brutality.

Celebrities like Amy Schumer have voiced their opinion saying Adam Levine and his band needs to turn down halftime gig.

The petition reads as follows:

Rihanna has reportedly turned down the opportunity to perform in front of over 100 million people at the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show. Why? She supports Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who has been exiled from the NFL because of his decision to kneel during the national anthem.

Kaepernick risked his career to take a knee for equality, and the NFL punished him for it. Until the league changes their policy and support players’ constitutional right to protest, no artists should agree to work with the NFL. Join me in asking Maroon 5 to drop out of the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show.

Rihanna is not the first major artist to turn down the Super Bowl halftime show. Jay-Z turned down a request to perform at the 2017 Super Bowl, and even addressed it in his 2018 song “Apesh*t.” The lyrics say, “I said no to the Super Bowl: you need me, I don’t need you. Every night we in the end zone, tell the NFL we in stadiums too,” while the music video shows a line of men on one knee.

Currently, the petition has reached 41,607 have signed. Let’s get to 50,000!  Support Colin Kaepernick and sign this today!
