"ASL Performers' Visibility at Super Bowl Sparks Controversy"
Actress Marlee Matlin criticized CBS for failing to show the American Sign Language performers during the live broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII, despite their significant contributions to the pregame show and halftime performances. Matlin, a prominent advocate for the deaf community, expressed shock and disappointment on social media, calling out the network for not upholding its inclusive values. The ASL interpreters accompanied performances by Andra Day, Post Malone, and Reba McEntire, but were not featured on screen during the broadcast.
