The US is a 50/50 split. Offending 1/2 is not a good business decision. If this were an Obama play, how would the leftists respond?

The same company did a version of "Julius Caesar" with a black Caesar during the Obama administration. No-one complained and Delta Airlines, based in a "red state," did not pull their sponsorship. What we are seeing here is the snowflake in chief's minions being triggered by a play written four hundred years ago about events that happened two thousand years ago. History and literature are two things one simply doesn't associate with the Trump Cult.

It's not comparable to kill the current POTUS vs killing a historical figure played by a black person.

Good. Other plays have done other Presidents, including Obama, and no one gave a stink then.

This is just straight up bovine excrement. Killing the sitting President in art is done all the time.

Wrap your head around the fact that Obama was the President when the company cast a black man as Caesar. You do realize that Obama was actually the legally elected President, right?
