    Sheeran could have avoided this by telling Kraft where to shove it. Especially if his feelings about Palestine are what his post is designed to make us think they are. There’s not many artists who can sell out a stadium.

    Though it baffles me why. His music does nothing for me.

      He should have supported Macklemore and forced Kraft’s hand…and then sued the living fuck out of him for breaking the contract. Instead, he pussied out and wrecked his career.

        I doubt Kraft would have done what he did without contacting his legal department. I’m sure the contract has a bullshit “morality” clause that covers his ass.

      Hell he could have been just not a cunt and said “no I’m keeping him in my show” made no support and still made more money. That’s a fucking crazy response to a genocide to me still, but my point stands he choose to be a cunt for cunts and people shouldn’t want to work with him or pay him for that.

      Right??? The eagerness with which so many people seem to want to appease and idolize billionaires is frankly revolting.

      But that’s just American society for you these days, I guess :(

      I actually enjoyed some of his more acoustic/soft songs quite a lot and I don’t think anyone can deny he’s a talented songwriter, some of the footage of him coming up with songs is truly impressive if you’ve ever made music, so I was willing to give a pass to the mainstream garbage and him being the definition of a wet wipe a-lister despite normally listening to niche stuff, but depending where this goes then I’ll probably never be able to listen to these songs again without them being tainted. Add him to the list I guess…
