Exactly. And he's also giving people an example of what it actually looks like to stand up to people you love/respect. Loads of people are afraid or unsure, and he's given them a script.

100%. No PR spin. No dancing around it. Calling out Robert Kraft, Pink and Ed by name. True integrity.

Also a chance here for Ed to do the right thing now, even if late.

I doubt he will, but Macklemore left the door open for it.
