Actress Marlee Matlin criticized CBS for not showing American Sign Language (ASL) performers during the live broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII. Matlin expressed shock and disappointment at the lack of screen time for deaf performers during the pre-game show, highlighting the issue of inclusivity and representation in media.
Last night's Super Bowl broadcast failed to air ASL performances during pre-game coverage, alienating millions of deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans. The NFL and CBS have failed to live up to the standards of equity, diversity, and inclusion they claim to value.
Companies that are under investigation for profiting from forced labor in China should not be running Super Bowl ads. I'm disappointed that CBS and Paramount ignored a letter from my colleagues and I asking them not to air Temu's ad during the big game. https://t.co/YjQ6jVmZbg
CBS declined Trump interview but aired six CCP-backed Temu ads during the Super Bowl. Note: Temu uses slave labor. https://t.co/fI1kGS7zhd
