[–] lookitsjustin@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children) It would seem that your analysis is the correct one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) Yeah, it basically boils down to PR and Robert Kraft trying to control the message. I'm not sure why he's trying to control the message. He's not giving a shit about it before, given how open he is about supporting Israel and how much money he's donated to Israel before But this clearly rattled him. I speculated about the artist boycott, but I mean, it could also boil down to people just boycotting him for not allowing free speech, which is a lightning rod issue in the United States. Or maybe it just spiraled so fast out of control that it just spooked him. Ultimately, $2 million dollars for him is a chump change. Hard to know at this point, unfortunately. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] zurohki@aussie.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago I’m not sure why he’s trying to control the message.
