Interesting how Ed Sheeran is the one getting dragged in the media and all over Lemmy while the literal billionaire who started this shit is probably getting rub and tugged in Florida right now.

As if I needed another reason to hate the Patriots.

    If it was a clear and cut case of contract breach for the tour, that would be one thing. But it doesn't sound like that's what it was about. So Ed is getting dragged for not standing up for his fellow artist.

    From what I've gathered, Ed pretty much just threw his hands up and said, "I don't want to get involved, you guys figure it out." Fair enough if that's the case. That's his choice. But we see the result of what people think about those who take the cowards way out.

    He doesn't want to deal with politics. He just wants to perform. And I get that. But it's still cowardly to not stand up for your fellow artist. And that's why everyone else is dropping out.

    When you’re the leading the artist of a tour there’s a whole bunch of complicated shit. You might be fronting some out of pocket, the promoters become your business partners, and there are a lot of mouths to feed, etc

    You could just appease Kraft and find a different opener for the shows at Gillette Stadium but instead they cancelled Mack for the entirety of the North American tour. Why?

    Kraft won’t admit it but it sure does seem like he called in favors to all the other owners of venues (almost all NFL stadiums) to cancel him out. I think that kind of collusion is a much bigger story.

    Ha that’s one deal I’m not even sure is true. The point of my comment is that focusing on Sheeran instead of Kraft is missing the forest for the trees.

    Except we already know Kraft is a billo child fucker. We THOUGHT ed was an okay guy. Turns out he is a just a coward piece of shit.

    I really dislike how people throw around ‘piece of shit’ at will when it’s dehumanizing term really intended for someone with no path for redemption.
