Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy defended New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft over a decision to remove rapper Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour after Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian comments.

“I back Robert Kraft banning Macklemore from performing at Gillette 1000% and thank him for having a spine when many others in his shoes don’t,” Portnoy said on X Wednesday.
