Ed Sheeran is a fucking coward that tried to say he can't have Macklemore talking about Palestine because of the children in the audience. The appropriate thing for someone with $400m in the bank would have been to cancel the tour, raincheck or refund the tickets and find decent venue owners for the next attempt.
Also, I'm pretty damn sure that Robert Kraft's stadium gets tax money for something. That should fucking stop immediately.
Won't somebody think of the children?!? (Not the Palestinian ones)
Meanwhile small children entertainment superstar Ms. Rachel: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ms-rachel-criticises-ed-sheeran-macklemore-us-tour-1819728

As always, Miss Rachel 100% on point
She’s exactly right too.
He had zero problem being political with Ukraine, when it was pretty universally accepted.
His problem isn’t politics, it’s actually having a backbone and standing up against any sort of adversity.
Kraft also owns the new england patriots. Hate to give those athletes a splash effect of their owner's awfulness. But I also think thats the celebrity world for you. We have to make zionism as toxic in the business community as it already is in public opinion polls. BDS works.
the NFL world is a tiny bit less left leaning than the music world
Yeah, but people will take any reason to hate on the Patriots lol. Patriots being known as pro genocide might turn people anti genocide just because haha.
No. The proper thing to do is take the stage and repeat Macklemores words and cover the song Macklemore covered.
Take the stage and read statements from every act that canceled, call for an end to genocide, and maybe cover some of their protest songs and maybe then.
tell Kraft to such a dick, and if he Still gets paid because he is evil and has good lawyers then learn your lesson and never sign a contract that allows that again. Play in dive bars until the rich fucks cave.
No that's how you attempt to save face now.
His contracts with all those venues may cost him far more than you'd imagine if he just doesn't show or drops out. The only telling thing he has done that makes him look really badly is his lack of any statements he could have made by now.
Oh nooooo, it would cost him? How will he eat tomorrow?
…better than children in Palestine, that’s for sure.
Oh, the fucking irony...
Macklemore was vocally against Biden and proclaimed he wouldn't vote for him.
He didn't pick a side. I presume he didn't vote for Trump, but he sure convinced folks not to vote for Biden.
Trump is raping the US and the world right now.
Edit: Fuck anyone who doesn't oppose Israel's genocide.
I mean, I was vocally against Biden (in 2020) in a sense of, “this guy is way too conservative on Israel and will probably lose re-election as a result if the conflict there heats up.” Not a very satisfying “I told you so.” I still voted for him in 2020, but I told this to everyone at the time, and with hindsight I was absolutely right. I still voted for Harris in ‘24, but I wasn’t surprised when she lost after all the Liz Cheney/“most lethal military” shit. The job of politicians is to convince voters to support them, not to ignore them, and Biden/Harris were completely out of touch with their own base. This is not the voters’ or Macklemore’s fault, it is Biden and Harris’s fault. Can’t even blame Trump for this one.
he had a song where he called on people to abstain from voting for biden
He's an autistic asshole what tf u expect. 😭
