He could have picked the right side. Still would have ended the tour, but at least he'd have been on the right side.
If he sided with Macklemore and kraft forbade the tour, his entire management team would have been more than capable of using this enormous amount of publicity to refund tickets, sell new ones for a free Palestine tour for more money, more dates.
He really dropped the ball by simping for a billionaire.
Just like Dave Chappelle. Total sell out.
How so? I assume you watched a clip from his last special, out of context, which was intentionally designed to be misunderstood when out of context?
Edit: My comment is on the segment of his last special, where he is very clearly pro Palestine. However, if you remove the leading context, it sounds very much pro Israel. There are also more than a few clips circulating without that context.
He comes across as a total trans-phobe to the point it isn’t even funny and simps for Elon Musk
I thought we were talking about his stance on Palestine and Israel.
No worries I think we were talking around each other then
I was referencing the comment you replied to about why he is a “sell out”
chappelle's always been a sellout. he got fired from his show because he wanted a ridiculous amount more money and they said no, so he hid from everyone until enough people forgot about that and tried to do standup again. only he hadn't kept up since the 80s so it was bill cosby style standup.
I think he could have worked with smaller venues and had more dates. Based on the reactions right now, the free publicity looks like it might have been a boon to ticket sales.
I wish he picked the right side and I have hope that he'll muster the courage to join it soon.
Well, he's on the right...
Watch him now push into maga territory to try to sell them....
That would be an interesting pr move.
He could do a cover of that AI “we are Charlie Kirk” song as his encore !
It’s beautiful.
That feel when you get a crick in your neck
Ed Sheeran country?
Damn, I thought country music had already reached the bottom.
$65 is how much concert tickets should cost anyway
no. it should be much cheaper.
You have to use the Fugazi formula for the most accurate price
No one respects genocide supporters.
You don't seem to have a good grasp on what ppl support through history. 1/3 of America supports a Republican party filled with rapists, child molesters, sex traffickers, theives, con men, habitually liars, narcissists, sadists and everything in between. Obedience through suffering is their entire life strategy. 1/3 of America supports them.
1/3 of America supports them.
First-past-the-post gives one third of the population the chance to reach full legislative control.

Most americans supported Israel until more recently. Propaganda is one hell of a drug.
He's such a piece of shit tickets to see him are now reasonably priced.
I feel bad for those who bought tickets before this shitshow. Even if you intended to sell them off as a "fuck you" to Ed, you'd be stuck with them.
I can't imagine how one can screw up this bad.
If money is what they pursue, the literally best choice would be just not say anything and let Macklemore to speak up for Palestine. People would continue to attend events, money would continue to pour.
Whole business model ruined because of someone's poor ass being too sissy about political stance of one of the musicians.
Kraft wouldn't let them play venues. He's not poor, he's super rich and loves Israel.
I understand that the logistics of Ed Sheeran's tour cannot be scaled down quickly, but I doubt they wouldn't have found other venues.
A single gig with a barebone stage and nothing else would have been enough to tell Kraft to fuck off.
Good, hope they lose a ton of $$. Fuck Ed.
I am sad that "Beoga" has cancelled their small venue concert in Boston. I went looking for tickets when I noticed the play date on their YouTube channel.
Fucking lol
I thought he ended up canceling the rest of the tour?
