Padma Lakshmi sparks controversy with Colin Kaepernick shirt on Super Bowl Sunday:
Just a few hours ahead of the Super Bowl, Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi posted a photo of herself to Instagram wearing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s jersey. “Shout out to courage,” she captioned the post. The 49ers are playing the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV — without Kaepernick, who hasn’t played professionally since 2017, following outcry over his decision to kneel during the national anthem in protest over police brutality against people of color.
Director Ava DuVernay also tweeted in support of Kaepernick, posting a link to an article about how the NFL has seemingly erased him from their memory.
