This is quite disingenuous. It wasn’t over a chant. Framing it this way actually hurts your cause because it’s blatant dishonesty. Its his cosplaying stereotypes and blatant antisemitism. You can oppose the war without being racist.

Aren’t there contracts for this sort of thing? That a venue can’t just refuse you to let you perform for no reason? This seems like an unforced error on Ed Sheeran. He could have definitely found another venue and been like see the oligarchs suck. I think the blowback will be for Ed Sheeran.

Kraft also had supported and helped push Trumps attack on Colin Kaepernick after he took a knee in protest of police violence against black citizens, and helping to lead the NFL owners in blackballing the quarterback from future work in the league - shortly after leading his team to a Super Bowl.

They like Kanye because he's a "good ones" even though he was a visceral Republican hater when after Katrina hit New Orleans, George Bush and "Heck of a job Brownie" packed black people into the Super Dome to live in feces and urine.

NFL owners, use taxpayers money for their stadium, the keep the profits.they come after free speech now …. They want Americans to support GENOCIDE in Palestine. HELL NO ! AMERICANS WILL SPEAK UP AGAINST INJUSTICE.

If most of these stadiums were funded by local taxpayers, the NFL owners should not have the unilateral power to block other entertainment from using the stadium. Public funding should require public voice in the matter.

Correct! It was never about antisemitism because it’s not antisemitic to call out facts and criminal activity! It is not antisemitism to want freedom for a severely oppressed people! It is being a human being!

Fuck Kraft!! Used to see his fancy car parked in front of a “massage parlor” in Jupiter Fla!! You asshole owners are gonna follow his lead!!! ??? Steelers…don’t do it!!

Its been a few years. when people write or say the words "Free Palestine" does that mean River to the Sea or is it different? people dont really know. its not a nuance its outright misinformation until that gets revealed.
