But instead of a gun, he's holding a bag of money. It must be really hard for a grammy award winning musician who is only worth hundreds of millions of dollars, who just wants to sell his music to everyone, including genocidal pieces of shit.

This is about a rich person, trying to play both sides, in a game of genocide. He doesn't deserve your sympathy. He cries on stage, because he wasn't succesful, not because he's sorry.

    I feel that maybe Kraft has something on him? I have no proof, and maybe Ed really is just a shit greedy fuck.

    And my mind is having a field day thinking about the outrageous things Ed is afraid will get out.

    after seeing kraft getting other football owners to blacklist him, he only came out because he was afraid of getting blacklisted himself. even then hes trying to not bite krafts hand.

    Did you miss the part where he’s already worth hundreds of millions of dollars? Ed Sheeran could play in pubs for the rest of his life and never have to worry about a thing. He’s just being greedy and self-serving.

    I said we shouldn’t call him an artist, but the dude managed to fake cry without using the word ‘genocide’, so at least he’s a pretty good actor.

    Ugh stupid tangent incoming, did you see the movie Yesterday where a struggling singer/ songwriter crosses into an alternate universe and he's the only one on the planet who remembers the Beatles? And becomes an overnight sensation from recording Beatles songs that no one's ever heard before. And then, as conclusive proof of his success, Ed Sheeran playing himself approves of his supposed genius, because I guess Ed sheeran is the songwriting successor to the Beatles.

    It's already a terrible movie before Ed Sheeran appears, it's just the most arrogant job a pop star could take. Supposedly Chris Martin turned the role down, I guess because he had some modicum of self awareness. Contrast to Ariana Grande playing a delightfully self deprecating satire of herself in Don't Look Up, so it is possible to acknowledge one's own celebrity in a cameo film role without being insufferably self aggrandizing.

    I don't really have a point beyond Ed Sheeran's unlikability. His spinelessness and immorality is a separate issue.

    Is that what Yesterday was? I assumed it was just your basic biopic.

    Unrelated: If I could do a Yesterday scenario, I would choose to be the only one who remembers The Offspring, and then I would record and copyright all of their songs and never release them to spare the world that crappy garbage.

    Someone should ask him on live whether it is Israel that is killing kids in Gaza and watch him squirm his way out of it.

    If any of those blacklist stadiums get a dime of taxpayer money, it needs to be returned, immediately and with interest.

  • There are other venues in this world, besides Kraft-owned venues..

    Money is speech, according to the Supreme Court in the USA.

    Where do you think Sheeran earned most of those millions? UK or USA?

    Is it shitty and wrong to practice censorship in the way that Kraft is doing it? Yes. Is it perfectly legal? also Yes.

    Too many words have been spent on this idiotic nothing-burger of a story.

    in 5 minutes the muddled minds of the internet will all move on to the next rage-bait story that the press presents.
