Pumphrey of Michigan has been given the honor to perform the songs in ASL. "I am so excited. It is a huge honor and it is a great opportunity to represent the Deaf community," he says.
Pumphrey, who is biracial and was born Deaf, says life hasn't been easy. He's learned to navigate his way in a judgmental, fast-moving verbal world, and has been able to overcome his disability. He now works as an online anchor for DPAN-TV, a sign language channel which delivers an internet-based news.
Royal Oak man to perform Super Bowl LI National Anthem in American Sign Language at Houston's NRG Stadium.
ROYAL OAK, MI -- A metro Detroit man is performing at the Big Game - but he won't be singing, he will be signing. Kriston Lee Pumphrey is set to take the stage in Houston at one of the most watched events in America on February 5.
With the help of an interpreter, Pumphrey, who is biracial and was born Deaf, says life hasn't been easy. He's learned to navigate his way in a judgmental, fast-moving verbal world, and has been able to overcome his disability. He now works as an online anchor for DPAN-TV, a sign language channel which delivers an internet-based news program.
"One of the reasons why DPAN-TV was established is because we feel Deaf people should have access to information. People don't realize the Deaf community misses out on a lot of things going on in the world and in the news. And, to be on a national stage, this is a huge deal for us," Pumphrey says.
It's also a huge deal for his boss, Sean Forbes, a Deaf rapper who is the cofounder of DPAN-TV.
"Myself and the whole staff at DPAN-TV, is so thrilled for him because we know that he is a skilled performer," Forbes says. "We know he has capabilities to stand in front of millions of people watching him on TV. We couldn't be more excited."
Although grateful for the opportunity, both Forbes and Pumphrey are hoping this year is different and the Deaf are given even more access to the national stage.
"In the past they have only shown a few seconds of the sign language, hopefully they will show more of it," Pumphrey says.
A Bad Lip Reading of the National Football League 2017 - Tom Brady investigates a theft... and other things that didn't happen.
This is the biggest week of the year for football fans as they look forward to the culmination of an entire season’s worth of action and drama and -- wait, the Super Bowl? Oh, right…but I was talking about the annual NFL Bad Lip Reading video.

Once again, the hilarious folks at Bad Lip Reading have delivered a presumably very inaccurate decryption of NFL players talking to each other throughout the season. It’s hilarious.
The 2017 edition features some of the the league’s biggest stars from the past year -- including Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Ezekiel Elliott and more. For those who did manage to escape the outrageous dubs, congratulations…but keep your guard up, because we’re only 365 days away from the 2018 version.
