How the fuck do people not know about entertainment contracts in 2026?!

Oh boo hoo. Didn't hold back Pearl Jam vs ticket master. Or Madonna vs the pope. Or NWA vs the FBI, or Lupe Fiasco vs Obama.

Having a spine and being absolved by history is well worth the cost of losing access to pansy billionaires' stupid, ginormous venues. The fans are coming to see the artists. The artists have the ultimate power. And Sheeran used his voice for nothing.

And for what? Sheeran is going to be dealing with the fallout from this fiasco for ages - the economic effects of this whole fiasco will likely be comparable to the effects of he were to simply tell Kraft to shove it, which should have been incredibly easy to do given how he's sitting on a $400m net worth. That is the definition of "fuck you money", and he fucken blew it. Limp-dicked pansy.

    Why don't you spend even a fraction of this energy talking about Robert Kraft?

    He's the billionaire who actually did this.

    Seriously bud, take a deep breath, think for just a second, and tell me why you think everyone's focus is being diverted from Robert Kraft silencing Macklemore

    Take your own advice. This is 2nd day in a row where you spent all day yesterday typing defenses for Sheeran, calling anyone who disagrees Israeli. Ed doesn't need defending. Go fuck with Kraft instead of playing tone police.

    No, I've spent a brief amount of time over two days saying people should blame the billionaires doing this instead...

    And that not blaming them, is letting them off the hook.

    Why are you so motivated to make sure no one blames the people responsible?

    Seriously, you keep focusing on the artist and not the billionaires, if you cany provide a plausible reason, people are left with assumptions.

    Fun fact: you're not the one who brought up Kraft, you likely learned about him from other users who brought it up 😱

    You can do both. You can call out Kraft as the billionaire Zionist who wants to control speech, and you can also call out the millionaire Sheeran that obeyed so he can keep getting paid.

    That's not what you're doing. All you're doing is deflecting criticism from Sheeran, and if by some dumb luck your strategy worked and people started talking about Kraft only, you'd come in here and say "it's wild that people are so focused on what a sports guy is saying, when Trump is he real villain".

    Yes...

    I pointed out people should be talking about the person who really did this.

    So why are you ignoring billionaire Rober Kraft and the other NFL owners?

    Why are you distracting from genocide supporters?

    Do you not understand what you're doing or is it intentional support of Israel causing you to do this?
