Marlee Matlin called out CBS for not showing deaf performers, such as Shaheem Sanchez (pictured), during its Super Bowl telecast Sunday. The big game featured several ASL performers during the pre-game and the halftime show, but none of them received significant airtime.
“I am absolutely SHOCKED at CBS for introducing the deaf performers at today’s Super Bowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance . . . as has been tradition for the last 30 years,” the Oscar-winning deaf actor wrote on social media. “WHY!?”
