Amy Schumer takes on rape culture and school sports

Amy Schumer’s done it again. On Inside Amy Schumer, the feminist comic has become known for crafting hilarious sketches out of serious and important subject matter. Today, she takes on rape culture in the context of school sports with this pitch-perfect Friday Night Lights parody. In it, Josh Charles plays a high school football coach with a new rule for his players: No Raping. What follows is a smart—and surprisingly funny—analysis of the cultural attitudes about sex and consent that partially constitute rape culture.

It also features Amy Schumer doing her best Connie Britton impression and drinking from some giant wine glasses.

Give it a watch.
