We should not lose sight of the fact that it was Robert Kraft and his billionaire Zionist friends who pushed Sheeran. Sure Sheeran is a self serving coward, but let's not let the real manipulators off the hook.

    2 points to add to this:

    • Robert Kraft asked Epstein how to handle his sex charges, and then used Epstein's recommended lawyer. Source
    • 3 other NFL stadium owners colluded with him to ban Sheeran if he didn't fire Macklemore. Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie backed Kraft’s stance. Source

    the only power billionaires have is the control over others through money. With that amount of control, nobody can hurt a billionnaire. But we can hurt their lackey, and send a message. May be some other lackey (who enjoy sweet money to protect their dear overlord) will try to avoid being of the wrong side of morality some day

    the only power billionaires have is the control over others through money.

    But with that money they can manipulate the perception of the masses, especially once they master AI. They can also shut your career down and sue you into oblivion.

    Conceivably, we could all stop watching NFL, which would hurt Kraft dramatically. It's not like the NFL hasn't earned a serious boycott.
