I guess my point is, in what way is Foo Fighters playing for Amazon divisive?

Amazon was going to pay someone to perform at that show & that performer, regardless of whether it was FF, was not going to convince Amazon to give that money to employees that deserved it.

So what exactly did the Foo Fighters do to earn this level ire? You’d rather Amazon gave that money to another performer?

If everyone really feels that strongly about FF taking this gig, then start a campaign telling FF how you think the money should be spent.

I’d certainly consider that a better use of everyone’s anger.

Divisive. Just look at these comments.

The argument if it’s not them it’ll be someone else is pretty weak.

I may as well rob my neighbours house, if it isn’t me it might be someone else aye?

Yeah I’d rather they give it someone else if it goes against FF morals. I certainly would have turned it down if I were them.
