I posted on my Facebook Page the reaction by the many other Irish musicians joining in solidarity to the censorship efforts by the wealthy Robert Kraft stadium owner. Please note also two things related to these same sports team stadium owners:
First when football player Colin Kaepernik stated he was in a organized blacklisting by these same wealthy sports team owners - Kraft and others denied that they discussed and agreed to prevent him playing - now this clear multi stadium blocking of this Irish musician shows such collusion by these sports team owners. Second, these same wealthy sports team owners had these stadiums receive public funding support to build, revealing how wealthy receive government subsidies and also contracts with the U. S. military to hold events to promote military recruitments from sports fans. Here was my original Facebook Posting On This censorship and then my update about the musician Boy George shameful betrayal to his own Irish heritage to support Israel and denying that racist state carried out starvation to impose on Gaza residents" .John O'Brien <https://www.facebook.com/john.obrien.3591267?__cft__[0]=AZj2NZvKsO-Tb_Aa0iRnolYqZvDCSuq1RKIuJIWY9OvYLHDKZkYVFuBk41bpmFdD9ZL7N29_FEx3TD7aAUz-QOancARolBNunAxoFSEZ7ICtbQF3mnjICpMH6w&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R> 2 days ago <https://www.facebook.com/john.obrien.3591267/posts/pfbid024NznakR7aHg2PPoPjiNHcHidJ2tymK1vrBYEv8CemuN6FffJFWxAa4QtePK5hGT4l?__cft__[0]=AZj2NZvKsO-Tb_Aa0iRnolYqZvDCSuq1RKIuJIWY9OvYLHDKZkYVFuBk41bpmFdD9ZL7N29_FEx3TD7aAUz-QOancARolBNunAxoFSEZ7ICtbQF3mnjICpMH6w&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R#?gje> · Shared with Public This censorship attempt is backfiring - first by the billionaire robert kraft who contacted the other sports stadium owners to blacklist and not allow this Irish singer performing - and it raises two added points: 1 - These many billionaire owner stadiums, are public funded to build these to benefit these reactionary wealthy sports teams owners, who do not care about their customers as in supporting and contributing to Trump. 2 - this blacklisting by these owners together confirms what they denied they did as charged by Colin Kaepernick whom in 2016 knelt to protest racism and fired and denied being hired by another Ntional Football League owners. Now this Irish Singer has been joined by every other singer in that music concert tour - whom all understood their ancestry of Britin carrying out occupying, harming and mass starvation in Ireland. As I express my solidarity from the same Irish survivors of many whole families dead by Britain Colonial policies that now Robert Kraft, Trump and others support.

Shameful and should be criticized for denying reality of racist occupation harm carried out - His own Irish Ancestry should cry out about supporting these Irish musicians representing Ireland opposition to colonial wrongs. Boy George appeared on an episode of BBC television genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? in 2018, on which it was revealed that he was related to executed Irish revolutionary Thomas Bryan, a member of the "Forgotten Ten" Now this betrayal to principles does he not have enough resources and fame to stand up for justice and against censorship, and for fellow Irish musician.
