Zach Bryan Wears 'Free Palestine' Shirt at 2-Night Gillette Run After Macklemore Ban

Summary
Zach Bryan took the Gillette Stadium stage Friday in a "Free Palestine" shirt, with some band members also appearing in pro-Palestinian clothing during the first night of his two-show run.
The display drew immediate online backlash and support, with critics urging Robert Kraft to apply the same standard he used against Macklemore and others arguing Bryan had a right to make a silent statement.
Kraft's venue had recently barred Macklemore from performing there, citing his Sept. 4 MetLife Stadium performance, "Free Palestine" chants and what Kraft called a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.
Bryan is scheduled to play Gillette again Saturday, extending a dispute over where venues draw the line between political expression and speech they deem hateful.
