It's a testament to the power of PR firms to control the narrative that everyone is talking about how terrible Ed Sheeran is for not canceling his tour to stand up to the venue owners.

It is kind of odd that the venue owners, the actual people who made the decision to blacklist Macklemore, are treated by the majority of these social media posts like they're not important.

https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/macklemore-says-was-dropped-ed-sheeran-tour-patriots-owner-robert-kraf-rcna597736

“Ed also told me that [Robert] Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues,” Macklemore wrote.

Why is Robert Kraft's name not being mentioned at the top of the story? Ed Sheeran is bad because he didn't stand up to who?

Robert Kraft. That's who did this, not Ed Sheeran.

Robert Kraft and Ed Sheeran are not the same. This is a false equivalence argument. The “mass” is angry at Ed Sheeran because Ed Sheeran has “mass” appeal.

While I understand you are speaking from a capitalistic power perspective, in that Krafts’ $15.2 Billion buying power compared to Sheeran’s $400 million buying power. I mean obviously.

But Sheeran’s cultural buying power is not just astronomical but also profoundly meaningful. He had an opportunity to make a very LOUD stance — but instead he decided to kneel down mouth open.

We already know Robert Kraft is a self righteous piece of human filth. The mass expects nothing of him, but much of Ed Sheeran.

Kraft is an evil billionaire Zionist. We don't expect anything less from him, though every story about this mentions his name. He used his leverage to bully Macklemore for his moral stance. Sheeran also has power/leverage and could have called Kraft's bluff by standing in solidarity with Macklemore and the people of Palestine (like every other act has now done). Instead he punked out and both-sidesed a genocide.

Lmao you’re literally doing the PR spin you are pretending to rail against.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We're talking about Ed Sheeran because he's one of the few people on his tour not standing up to Robert Kraft. Pointing out Ed's cowardice is mentioning Kraft's name, at least implicitly.

One cannot implicitly mention.

Fuck Bobbie Kraft too

Reminds me of how everyone blames heavier people for why airplane seats are so packed tight. Completely ignoring the fact that airlines made the decisions to keep shrinking seats and putting the rows closer together.

It is funny, because the current anti-Ed narrative is being run by similar rich boys and PR.

It's not about gaza, it's about creating a bigger wedge between western nations and within western societies.

Ya'll are being played.

If children in Gaza matter, why dont the children in Burkino Faso matter? Where entire villages are ethnically cleansed until the last person. There is an actual genocide going on in Africa, nobody gives a shit.

Why dont the over 200.000 dead children in Iraq and Afghanistan by the hands of Americans in the past 25 years matter?

Ah right, those poor souls dont matter because it's not politically adventageous for them to matter.
