I know we’ve had at least three posts on this topic so far. I can see from the comments that a lot of people were not or are not aware of this relationship.
I think this is important because it points to something that runs contrary to Ed Sheeran’s public statement, where he excused his dismissal of a musician speaking up for Palestine.

Netanyahu totally doesn't have video evidence of Robert Kraft raping underage kids right?

Pretty sure our DOJ has that same evidence. But conservatives gotta conserve...

Can't believe a spineless corporate weasel would act this way. :-p
Almost makes you wonder how high profile celebrities attain their position and continue to get circulation. You begin to think maybe someone like Brittney Spears or Post Malone repping for reactionary political interests might have been incentivized in some way.

Hopefully this kills his career and we never have to see his ugly fucking face again.

GoT deserved all the flack it got (and more.)

Funny enough, when that episode aired, I had no idea who Ed Sheeran was. I didn't even clock that it was supposed to be a cameo. And apparently my Internet Silo was pretty deep, because I also missed all the uproar about it. I learned about it after THIS incident...

So weird that this is blowing up the day after I finally started season 8 and I never realized / knew who he was in the cameo
Canconda@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 4d
I stopped caring about the show after season 5 so except for the ending and some select scenes it's all I've really seen.
You'd have to have read the books to notice the shift in writing quality. What made AOIAF books unique was how GRRM build the world through the eyes/perspectives of characters. Season 1 especially, every scene had this invisible layer that you could only see if you'd read the chapter and heard the thoughts of the person whose perspective it was told from.
Season 4 onward diverted heavily from this as they introduced more and more non-canon material.
As someone who pre-ordered his hardcovers as they came out... I'm very spiteful towards GRRM for not finishing the books and think Game of Ed Sheeran is the legacy he deserves after selling out so blatantly.

Funny. I was just thinking about all this not five minutes before.
Same here. I’m dirty with Martin that he won’t finish the books, and he won’t. As opposed to Robert Jordan who not only worked his arse off to get out what he could before he died, he tried his best to get the right person to finish WoT and we got a completed story, even if it may not have been what Jordan would have given us.
I feel somewhat, that GoT (which we know as ASoIaF) stole some limelight that perhaps should have gone to Jordan’s story, which Amazon and the dat’sang Rafe Judkins completely fucked.

Sweet people don't collude to punish performers by getting them banned from taxpayer funded stadiums

The whole "Supporting the active murdering of children because they're from an ethnic group who the self-proclaimed representatives of my ethnicity deem to be 'vermin'" should be a big red flag on somebody's character.
This is as much so now as it was back in the 1930s.

MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 4d
For the record, Kraft built the stadium with his own $$.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 4d
I highly doubt it was an typical, noncorrupt interaction with the government where he footed upfront costs and got no special tax breaks because of it.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3d
I'm sure there were tax incentives. Just pointing out that Kraft didn't get state or town $$ for the build.
I'm definitely not calling Kraft a "good guy" for doing it.

Sheeran is officially Epstein class then, yeah, through and through? Not only is he wealthy with no soul, but he loves how sweet Kraft is who was friends with Epstein.

If ed sheeran had been played by my wedding dj, I'd have been pretty embarassed.
I can't imagine the level of cringe having ed sheeran actually perform at my wedding would induce in me

Kraft is a Zionist POS. Getting "rub n' tugs" for decades, even with a dying wife at home. Pure scumbag.

Why does he always remind me of the Mangalores from fifth element. He has always kinda had this skeevy look behind his smile, or something, too. All of this stuff coming out about him makes sense, none of it seems unfitting.

Can we also talk about how his #1 song is promoting heterosexuality? More than 80 % of children who heard Shape of You in the 2010s now identify as heterosexual, and it continues to air on the radio and show up on streaming services without as much as a content warning. What the fuck?
