The stadium owners rallied together to threaten Sheeran with cancelation if he did not remove Macklemore. Sheeran is a massive shithouse for backing down like this, but more notable is that some of the stadiums involved in the cancelation threat have no problem hosting Kanye - Dallas is hosting him in Nov and Tampa already did.

Praising hitler - fine
Saying free Palestine - cancelation

Last week, a young French actress and writer spoke out against the Israeli government at the end of a literary program which was showing live on TV, saying that they were committing genocide against the Palestinians, and that the French government was helping them by not taking appropriate measures against Israel, in form of sanctions.

The result? Her statement was erased from the recording of the program by France Télévision. Funny thing though: the fact that they erased it made the story go viral on social media, and so, her message has now been relayed far beyond the usual public of that program. :+1:
