      He refused an american tour because he doesn’t want ICE staking out his shows and harassing his fans. The half-time doesn’t require them in person to enjoy it.

        That makes sense, like I said I didn’t really know why other than what I heard from a coworker. Still seems a bit hypocritical. Takes away from the message a bit.

          If you “don’t really know why”, then why are you repeating rumor and hearsay? You know that’s how bullshit spreads, right? “Oh my coworker said blahdiddyblahblah and I didn’t bother to verify it”

          You’re on the Internet, you can literally just open a new tab and Google shit before you go talking out of your ass.

          It's literally this easy.

          It’s not hypocritical, he said he would no longer tour, because of danger to his fans. The Super Bowl is not a tour date and there will be no danger to his fans, as they will not be the primary attending audience of the Super Bowl. It wasn’t some stand against the administration, it’s a protective action for his fans which isn’t applicable in this case.
