Despite introducing the sign language performers for the Super Bowl, CBS/NFL did not give them any airtime for the national anthem or the halftime show this year, Hope writes with Axios' Tory Lysik, Maura Losch and Shoshana Gordon.
What they're saying: "I am absolutely SHOCKED at CBS for introducing the Deaf performers at today's pregame SuperBowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance ... WHY!?" Marlee Matlin, an Oscar-winning actor who is deaf, tweeted during last night's game.
The other side: The NFL punted to CBS, which did not immediately return Axios' request for comment.
