Hehehehehehehe.
Fuck Ed Sheeran, I despised him before it was popular.
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
By boycotting the concerts at their venues, you are directing anger at them, and hurting them financially.
His backing band and all opening acts pulling out means the tour should be cancelled, and that’s hitting Kraft and other venue owners right where it hurts.
Hurting rich people financially never ever makes them change who they are.
Ed showed us all that he considers himself more in line with those stadium owners then the rest of us though, so fuck him
Or possibly he’s on the side of people who spent a lot of money to see him in concert
Either way, he’s not on the side of the people being genocided in Gaza, so, I’ll repeat, fuck him
Cancel and refund the tickets, can you imagine the media coverage he’d be getting instead if he had just done that to the affected shows, and then found smaller venues that welcome them?
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.

“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.”
This is how I feel about people who murder animals for food.
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.
Has been this way from day one, when they cut off water and power and declared their intention to wipe off the “human animals”, “little snakes”, and “future terrorists”.
…you are either on the right side or the side you are paid to be on.
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).
I too am a huge fan of sounding but what’s that have to do with sports or Macklemore?
They specifically said what it had to do with Macklemore (and Kraft) in their post. Kraft being the catalyst for all of this..Yea, I fucked that one up.
Just a joke man. If you don’t know what it is, don’t look it up on any NSFW sites… Trust me, I’m sparing you here. To each their own but I wish I didn’t see it myself!
Oh no, I know what it is. I just completely overlooked that part of your post. I’m disappointed in myself because it’s a great comment. I edited it to not look like a dick and to correct my mistake.
Woosh.
They were making a joke about sounding
Oof, you’re right. I completely missed the first half of that comment and just saw the sports part.
Big woosh indeed.
I have to say, pretty sure Sounders is the worst name in pro sports. I would assume a sounder is one that partakes in sounding.
I’m sure someone in Seattle is sticking things in.
It’s for the Puget Sound! A sound is a body of water! Get your head out of the gutter!
(It’s okay I grew up calling the rumble strip on the side of the highway a sounder and also thought it was a weird name at first)
This is good enough to make me a Seahawks fan for the season so I can talk about the ludicrous displays last night.
This is actually a fallacy. Rooting against his team still puts money in his pockets
Okay then fuck the Seahawks go Packers.
Either way some billionaire gets more billionarey.
Bread and circuses and all that.
But, seriously, Arsenal does try to walk it in.
Ownership-wise the Packers are probably the best pro sports team to root for because they’re the only non profit community owned professional sports team in the US.
But I live in Minnesota and Minnesotans like to pretend there’s some kind of rivalry there lol.
Also the MST3K guys mention them a lot in their riff of The Giant Spider Invasion which is also enough for me to love the Packers forever. Also, who doesn’t love cheese?
I really have no loyalty.
Go. Packers.
That’s the thing about the… Niners? They always try to walk it in.
The Seahawks beat the Robert Kraft owned New England Patriots last year in the Superbowl. We beat them last week with our back-up quarterback. Small wins in life, yeah?
Sadly I’m a Patriots fan and until this Kraft had a decent reputation for most fans. He can go fuck himself now.
You must not have heard that he’s in the epstein files?
In 2019, Kraft was among 25 people facing first-degree misdemeanor charges for soliciting prostitution at a day spa.[145] His attorney electronically entered a not-guilty plea, and later submitted a court filing where Kraft waived arraignment, pled not guilty to all charges and requested a jury trial.[151] A memo filed by Kraft’s attorneys revealed that hidden cameras had been installed when investigators entered the facility under the guise of suspected human trafficking.[156] A Palm Beach County judge ruled that prosecutors could not use the videos in their case, citing privacy concerns.[157] A Florida appeals court also ruled that Kraft’s constitutional rights were violated, and all the charges were dropped.[162] U.S. District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz ordered the videos to be destroyed.[163]
In 2026, it was revealed that Kraft had kept a relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and that Epstein had recommended Kraft use his lawyer to defeat the charges.[164]
Given the number of legit famous people Epstein surrounded himself with because he was, at that point, rich himself: no being mentioned in the files isn’t a defacto “that person is complicit”. I don’t think Stephen Hawking, Bruce Willis, or Cate Blanchett were diddling kids either despite being in the files. DeCaprio… Well that one wouldn’t surprise me.
DiCaprio who has no sexual allegations against him, surprises you - but a billionaire who buys prostitutes in a spa suspected of human trafficking gets the benefit of the doubt?
They were probably referring to the whole “DiCaprio is afraid of women over the age of 25” thing. The man has historically broken up with women as soon as they’re nearing 25, only to start dating a new 18 year old a week or two later.
I believe his current girlfriend actually holds the record for his oldest, at ~28 years old.
He’s also a vocal Trump supporter on top of his other transgressions. He’s always been a piece of shit.
Hmmm. Again, Kraft used Epstein’s recommended lawyer that got Epstein out of shit. You can shut your eyes and say blah, blah, blah, but this is all still true.
Kraft’s attorneys had been pushing for the videos to be destroyed, as the 79-year-old billionaire was worried that the videos would be circulated on the Internet.
Judge Orders Destruction Of Alleged Sex Tapes Of Robert Kraft
Look if there was evidence of wrongdoing I’d want him to spend just as much time in prison as anyone else, but can we agree what you describe is a pretty far cry from evidence he was fucking kids? Come on now.
The videotaping at the business lasted for five days, and wound up recording two women and two men receiving legitimate massages, not just the men paying for sexual services."
Four people over five days received an actual massage lol. They destroyed the evidence because of a technically. Did you even read the article?
I mean, it sounds like the court ordered the evidence destroyed, so there’s no way to know one way or the other. But isn’t that like kind of shady
Meanwhile, the Mariners have been snubbing Macklemore since 2024
What I thought after seeing these posts all day lol
He’s not dead. He’s still going on his tour afaik. And he’s definitely still fabulously wealthy.
MAGA crowdfunding event incoming.
I didn’t, fuck em
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 guy for sure has “that look”. Like the lights are on but nobody’s home. So his response was “c’mon gui, can’t we all just… Get along?”
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.
He took a very solid stance. He called it a conflict and called on both sides to stop war. That’s genocide denial and proganada.
Can’t really avoid taking a stance on genocide.
It’s one thing to avoid it, but when directly confronted with it, he fucked up. Had he told Kraft to pound sand, he’d still have a tour and support, but he picked a side by “not picking a side”.
“There is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed” Thank you for that, Macklemore
He’s now Sir Macklemost, Defender of the Oppressed
Yeah, I’ve now purged all my great moments with his songs.
well there was a time when many of us thought Elon as smart… Sheeran’s “pretty decent” persona was shattered by the ultra low hanging fruit of simply saying “war is bad” (which would have been enough to get him out of this hole)
He did say “war is bad”, and that’s part of the problem.
Not even as high a bar as “war is bad”, because even that can have some nuance, but it was “verifiable genocide, an explicit extinction of a group of people by another, in one of the most one-sided conflicts in history is bad.”
This genocide is like watching a roided-up bull kill several babies on purpose just because they were there, and also also saying nothing about the people who put the fucking thing in the daycare and gave it the drugs after it already attacked people. (Note: I am not saying Palestinians are weak babies and if anyone needs to have the conversation then they don’t have the literacy level to make it worth anyone’s time).
right you are… I was going for the bare bone minimum that would have probably save Sheeran’s face and he could not even muster that much
All he had to do is say nothing and move on. Maybe get up on stage and raise his fist or something in support of those who can’t defend themselves.
I mis-typed, I meant to say that “war is bad” is a higher bar. If this genocide can’t make you take a stand against something then you don’t stand for anything but your own pocketbook, as these people have proven over and over.
If you don’t have an opinion about such a grave disaster, you have an opinion about it.
Macklemore was booted off the tour after his two-minute speech on September 4 and 5 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which advocated for a “free Palestine,” “the occupied West Bank,” and criticism of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Wtf. Is this a typo? Or were they actually advocating for continuing the occupation??
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to say this all day. One of the reasons why I wanted to come on this tour was because I wanted to stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: Free Palestine. I said, Free Palestine. I want those words to be loud and clear, so the people from Gaza, all the way to the occupied West Bank, know that we have not forgotten them… So I say Free Palestine, I say Free Lebanon, I say Free Cuba, I say Free Congo, Free Sudan, I say Free all people in America living in fear of this terrorist organisation, ICE. None of us will be free until we are all free.
He advocated for a free Palestine from Gaza to the occupied West Bank. Seems the author didn’t realize the occupied West Bank is part of occupied Palestine, but they’re not saying he advocated for continuing the occupation…
His pedals just tweeted that they are out too. Also, Keller Williams did this looping shit 20 years ago, and it was more interesting.
I could use me a double decker double wide honestly
The real estate company?
Dropping sick beats with 6% commission
LMFAO
Different band.
The most attention I’ve ever given this guy is when I watched Game of Thrones and the person I was watching with says, matter of factly, that’s Ed Sheeran.
Me: I’ve heard the name, but who is he and why should I care?
Followed by some pull up of a video with music so remarkable, I remember it not at all.
Then there’s social media. Where you find out about a person not because you care but because a stream of posts starts flowing through your scroll. So you tap in and read about some guy you care about not at all.
oh boy…
Kinda wondering if this whole thing was orchestrated as a distraction.
What aren’t we supposed to be looking at right now?
Nothing that I can think of.
Everything is a distraction from everything else 🙄
It’s pretty smart. It’s distractions all the way down!
Gestures broadly
