“Comedian” Amy Schumer, fresh off her sort-of arrest during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, took to Instagram late Friday to announce that she’s joining Colin Kaepernick’s cause, and “protesting” the NFL’s decision to “blacklist” the former second-string quarterback.

Schumer posted her anti-NFL manifesto to Instagram Friday night under a photo of her leaning on a giant wine glass.
