Because it was one stadium, can’t be confirmed they all did it, and then he was also dropped from ALL upcoming shows. ED would have had that decision pass his desk. And at very least, if he doesn’t revoke it and fire the people who work for him that did (if he really didn’t know), then he is complicit.
Yeah maybe but that’s not confirmed. But also, it was them putting pressure on Ed Sheerans managment directly to make the decision. Entirely my assumption that such a huge decision, to drop a major artist, would at least be mentioned to Ed.
Not to defend the guy, but what about all the other people involved? I can’t imagine he just travels alone he probably has a bunch of employed people to set things up and make sure everything runs smoothly.
What about the 80,000 dead Palestinians? The 20,000 dead Palenstian children that Israel is still slaughtering?
Dude has an estimated $300 million to his name. If he gave a shit, he could pay all of their salaries out of pocket for the whole tour and not even feel it, while still standing agasint a genocide. That would be a huge, double whammy PR boost for him, cementing him forever as the best fucking guy in showbiz.
I bet it wouldn’t even cost 10 million, leaving him $290 million to buy villas and superyaughts with until a few months passes, when he would have $300 million again from the interest alone.
How is he responsible for stadium owners forcing the tour managers to drop Mackelmore?

I believe he was barred from eight of the 10 upcoming shows. Those eight just all happen to be at NFL stadiums.
That stadium owner got other stadium owners to join the boycott.
Ed very likely has no say over tour decisions like that.

He has a say on whether he lets such bullshit go unchallenged, though.
He is just as able to pull out as his supporting acts are, if not more.
By not standing with him in solidarity over censorship and human rights. He is a shit person.
He is the guy touring. Does he need the money that bad ?
if you want continuing supply of millions eacf gig, and future gigs, yes. kinda like how swift hasnt gone fully political to the right,
I don’t know his financials so I can’t answer that question.
Took me 5 seconds to find out that he has a net “worth” of hundreds of millions of dollars.
He could DEFINITELY afford the financial hit from not being a genocide enabling scumbag.
Those stats are just guesses, unless Ed has published all of his financial statements.
Okay? Fuck him all the same.

Or would those people be employed by the venues?

He put on knee pads.
