Fans Petition Maroon 5 To Drop Out Of The Superbowl Halftime Show

Well this is a tough spot to be in.
A petition is going around to get Maroon 5 to drop out of performing the Superbowl Halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick, but the band has yet to speak out about it, or even confirm the gig for that matter.
“Kaepernick risked his career to take a knee for equality, and the NFL punished him for it. Until the league changes their policy and support players’ constitutional right to protest, no artists should agree to work with the NFL," the petition, which currently has 44K signatures, states.
Rihanna already turned down the offer in support of the NFL star, as did Jay-Z and Pink. We guess when nobody else will do it, you've gotta call in the radio sellouts!
"It’s definitely a rumor. And the rumor’s a rumor that everyone seems to be discussing. It’s the Super Bowl. It’s a great event and there’s gonna be a band performing — or an artist of some kind — at halftime. And it’s gonna be great, regardless of who it is. Whoever is lucky enough to get that gig is probably gonna crush it. … Whoever does it is probably equal parts nervous and excited. This is all speculative ‘cause I don’t know who I’m talking about," Levine hinted on Ellen recently.
They might have moves like Jagger, but hopefully they have a good PR team, too!
