“I have spent this week trying to build bridges, to find a solution and unfortunately, was unable to do so.

I tried so hard to find a middle ground between the genocide supporters and everyone else and I just can't seem to do it. People who hate genocide are just so rigid and uncompromising!

    I doubt many folks are viewing this through a sports lens, but as a Sounders fan I am very pleased to see the part owner of the Seattle Sounders (Macklemore) stand up for what’s right against the evil New England Revolution owner (Kraft).

    Ed Sheeran is worth $400 million and is one of the top 3 touring musicians bar none. He had every piece of power to say "fuck you" to Robert Kraft and in the moment where it mattered he was spineless.

    LOL i don't know anything about sheeran but i wouldn't be surprised if he knows nothing and has no opinion on palestine, only what his managers tell him.

    his only course of action now is to fess up and apologize. he was afraid of being blacklisted by venues, now he should be afraid of being ditched by millions of sane people

    The thing is he's always been considered a pretty decent person who is much more down to earth than you'd expect from his level of celebrity, and I get why he's tried to avoid taking a stance on this, but the time for sitting on a fence is well over.

    Ed Sheeran should have backed out of the Ed Sheeran tour in support of Palestine.

    Ed Sheeran is weak, but Robert Kraft is the evil psychopathic billionaire who started all this.

    A profound fuck to Robert Kraft in particular.

    At least Sheeran isn't in the Epstein Files.

    Ed has more power than the venues and promoters. He isnt getting blacklisted from anywhere when he makes them as much money as he does. He doesnt even need balls to stand up to them. They need him.

    What a lot of these people don't understand is, there is no sitting on the fence anymore, the fence is gone, it's just a line in the sand now and you're either on the right side or the wrong side.

    Unfortunately for him, he will be the poster child of cowardice for the next 10 years.

    Hated to see this happen to someone but it's about fucking time it did happen to someone.

    But then again, I don't hate that it happened to him. Because if that's the way he is, then that's the way it is.

    If critizising genocide is antisemitism, then that word lost all meaning.

    Stupid of Sheeran and his team to assume that the IRISH backing band wouldn't care.

    Its the funniest thing ever that the next place he has a concert is Philadelphia, a place known for its quiet and well behaved citizens, especially when they're in large groups.

    Does that mean I can do backing? If So, I'll wear my "fuck the trumps" shirt

    I only know how to play clarinet (and marginally), but it's probably no worse than Ed's shitty music anyway

    Another racist, degenerate, billionaire backfire. Palestine is being talked about everywhere, big time! Thanks Mister Kraft! Sorry Ed, your career is dead. The New England Pedophiles indeed!

    “I have spent this week trying to build bridges, to find a solution and unfortunately, was unable to do so. I know who I am, both as a person and as an artist, and those who know my heart know my values too.”

    His values

    Kinda like art is inherently a form of speech amd one that incites emotion, thought, and often rebellion. Any real artist knows where they stand. Sheeran sells a product. The others create music.
