The Super Bowl will include a spectacular halftime show, as usual, with some of the biggest names in hip-hop entertaining the masses while championship-contending teams take a break, and for the first time, two of the performers are deaf.
Members of the California School for the Deaf football team, as honorary captains, will be at midfield for the coin toss.
“It’s all about us continuing to be more inclusive and providing more opportunities for everyone,” NFL spokeswoman Jordyn White said. “It’s all about celebrating people for their differences, and coming together for the things we love. Inclusion is a priority for the league, and we hope the fans get to see that, especially at halftime and pregame.”
While closed captioning has been available for decades, the text on the screen in English does not truly provide access to the deaf community that uses ASL as its first language. “The captions are often delayed, they’re often not on time and they miss a lot of words,” said the 40-year-old Forbes, who is from Michigan. “To see this performance in ASL, it’s not just an interpretation. It’s a full-blown performance.”
NBC’s broadcast is expected to show glimpses of the Snipe and Forbes, whose entire performance will be available on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.“It’s time,” Forbes said. “The deaf community has worked so hard. ASL is such a beautiful and rich language. I’ve been in this business for 16 years, and to see like how we’ve come with all of this, it has just been incredible.”
