“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
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.
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.
A lot of singers like Roan Chapel ditched the agency Ed Sheeran was part of because the head was a huge Zionist. Ed stayed. Now we see the results.
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.
This is how you challenge their power. Assign consequence to compliance
Interesting how Ed Sheeran is the one getting dragged in the media and all over Lemmy while the literal billionaire who started this shit is probably getting rub and tugged in Florida right now.
As if I needed another reason to hate the Patriots.
If it was a clear and cut case of contract breach for the tour, that would be one thing. But it doesn't sound like that's what it was about. So Ed is getting dragged for not standing up for his fellow artist.
From what I've gathered, Ed pretty much just threw his hands up and said, "I don't want to get involved, you guys figure it out." Fair enough if that's the case. That's his choice. But we see the result of what people think about those who take the cowards way out.
He doesn't want to deal with politics. He just wants to perform. And I get that. But it's still cowardly to not stand up for your fellow artist. And that's why everyone else is dropping out.
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.
I’m sure he get get other acts to participate, like middle aged rock and the draft dodger/pants crapper dude whose name I forget.
Ed is such a bitch.
What is the point of fuck you money if you're always going to lick the boots of the Epstein class?
It's rare that any rich person says, "Okay, this looks to be enough money/power. I'm done accumulating it."
Evidently, Ed Sheeran is not one of them.
Boy, I bet he's regretting his "Both sides are bad" take
He's not taking a "both sides are bad" take. He's taking a "I don't want to deal with politics, I just want to perform".
Going back a few days to Ed’s original statement:
“I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy,” begins Sheeran in an Instagram post.
It’s at least a little bit of a “both sides are bad” take.
Yeah, fair enough.
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!
Ed Sheeran should have backed out of the Ed Sheeran tour in support of Palestine.
He really should have. Imagine how embarrassing it would be for the stadiums. I bet some of them would have changed their mind.
“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!
“You get civil rights on paper and we put the klan behind badges.”
Get this guy a Nobel peace prize!
The other Sheeran-level star signers are pretty quiet these days. Ed is taking a hit for them.
Stupid of Sheeran and his team to assume that the IRISH backing band wouldn't care.
If critizising genocide is antisemitism, then that word lost all meaning.
Especially since Palestinians are Semites
That's something they never cared about in Israel.
Ed Sheeran Is definitely in the wrong too but man people need to direct this anger at the stadium owners too they are at fault too
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.
I get that but again, this needs to be directed at Kraft too never said ed wasn't at fault
Kraft is a Zionist child molester with his own intelligence agency. People shouldn't need to be reminded that he is bad, but now we know Ed is bad too. That's the news
I hadn't heard of Robert Kraft before this, so I appreciate what Hazelnutcookiez is saying.
Ed showed us all that he considers himself more in line with those stadium owners then the rest of us though, so fuck him
Ed Sheeran has too much power and wealth to be gentle with. He's chosen the Zionist side even when his livelihood wouldn't be in jeopardy.
Well, Ed started as a busker, alone with his guitar. Looks like he might end as one, just on a large stage in a stadium.
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).
