Why doesn't Ed Sheehan cancel. Taking a stand for the first amendment isn't taking a side politically.

Getting fired from a gig is not a violation of first amendment rights.

Neither is canceling your tour. Ed has defacto taken a side by removing macklemore.

Ed’s a fucking UK citizen, the fuck you mean First Amendment

True. However you forgot the other part which would have made your point 1000x more credible. "Good point, it's not a first amendment issue, I lack knowledge of basic civics and responded emotionally. That said..."

Is Macklemore gonna pay him all the money he’ll lose out on?

It’s called not disappointing all the fans that bought tickets and that are showing up to the concert. I know you’d like to fuck them people over just for your cause but it seems that he’s got a higher priorities than that.

They'll get a refund. Or how about this, change the venue.

Normal people with a functioning brain would accept people losing some money and time over people being murdered any day. At least we know you would stand for nothing, coward.

1A is about the government, not private business or citizens.

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I think Americans get confused because your education was a bucket of shit.

I'm not confused by it. I am giving Ed sheeran an actual excuse to not take a side, instead of defacto taking Israel's side. But by all means, keep posting counter arguments against the people trying to find levers to stop a genocide.

You really are a dummie, eh?

None of this has anything to do with 1A (which you brought up).

Ed should not address this or take a side.

u/rg2004 Sep 15 '26

Too late, he's kicked Macklemore off his tour.
