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.

“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.

    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.

    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.

    Do you think a "massage" parlor near Logan Airport will hire him after the tour ends? He has a good reference.

    I've always thought he was arrogant, ugly, wonky-eyed talentless cunt. I'm glad he's finally getting his comeuppance.
