Ed Sheeran's tour of North and South America has been roiled by the decision this week to drop Macklemore as an opener because of the rapper's onstage pro-Palestinian comments. Since then, all of Sheeran's other supporting acts have dropped out, including a group that backs Sheeran up during part of the show. FRANCE 24's Monte Francis speaks with David Jackson, Professor of Political Science at Bowling Green State University about the issue.
