The cancellation for the Tacoma shows comes a few days after the Coeur d’Alene Tribe cancelled Nugent’s August 4 shows at its Idaho casino because of what it called the rocker’s “racist and hate-filled remarks.”

LaPointe said the casino has been getting an average of 30 calls daily complaining about Nugent’s appearance, and that there have even been bomb threats. “But racism is intolerable on this reservation because we’ve had to put up with racism for hundreds of years – and still do to this day.” “Freedom of speech is good for everybody in the United States,” Puyallup Tribe Vice Chairman Lawrence W. Puyallup Tribe officials said the decision came after learning that Nugent has said racist remarks.The tribal council said they also received threats from community members wanting the casino to cancel his shows. Under an immense amount of pressure from fans and patrons of Emerald Queen Casino, the tribal gambling facility has announced that the Ted Nugent shows for scheduled for August 2 and 3 have been cancelled.
