说唱艺人Macklemore在Ed Sheeran的Loop巡演中于舞台上呼吁"解放巴勒斯坦"，随后被New England Patriots老板Robert Kraft禁止在Gillette Stadium演出1。这一事件引发了关于艺人社会责任的深层思考。
Sheeran为这一取消决定进行了辩护，声称"人们购买我的唱片是为了在亲密时刻播放。我不是什么政治人物"1。然而，伦理学家Jacqueline Boaks指出，拒绝表态本身就构成了一种政治行为，特别是当这一决定由拥有特权的人士做出且影响他人言论自由时1。
Sheeran声称保持政治中立的立场与其过往言行不符。他曾公开支持反Brexit运动、反对极右种族主义，支持政治人物Jeremy Corbyn，并在2022年举办了乌克兰音乐会1。这种选择性的政治参与凸显了所谓"非政治立场"的内在矛盾——在某些议题上发声，而在其他议题上保持沉默，本质上仍是一种政治选择。
Rapper Macklemore was removed from performing at Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour after calling for "free Palestine" on stage 1. The cancellation was enforced by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft at Gillette Stadium 1. In response, Sheeran defended the decision by asserting his position as an apolitical artist, stating: "People buy my records to put on while they make out. I'm not Mr Political" 1.
However, ethicist Jacqueline Boaks argues that Sheeran's claimed neutrality contradicts his documented political engagement 1. Sheeran has previously voiced support for anti-Brexit movements, opposed far-right racism, backed Jeremy Corbyn, and organized a benefit concert for Ukraine in 2022 1. According to Boaks, refusing to take a stance on political matters is itself a political choice, particularly when exercised by privileged individuals in ways that restrict others' freedom of expression 1.
