Country singer Zach Bryan put on a “Free Palestine” shirt for his Gillette Stadium show on Friday.
The stadium’s owner, Robert Kraft, had reportedly previously blocked Macklemore from performing as part of Ed Sheeran’s tour, which was linked to his pro-Palestinian stance. Bryan didn’t appear to be afraid of landing on Kraft’s bad side on Friday.

The backlash was pretty immediate on social media:
ZACH BRYAN JUST FORGOT WHO BUYS HIS TICKETS.
He walked onto the stage at Robert Kraft’s own stadium in a “Free Palestine” shirt to pick a fight with the owner, and he did it in front of a crowd full of working Americans who came to hear country music.
Those fans didn’t pay to… https://t.co/ksG17suHG8

“ZACH BRYAN JUST FORGOT WHO BUYS HIS TICKETS. He walked onto the stage at Robert Kraft’s own stadium in a ‘Free Palestine’ shirt to pick a fight with the owner, and he did it in front of a crowd full of working Americans who came to hear country music,” X user ‘Gunther Eagleman’ wrote on Saturday morning. “Those fans didn’t pay to be lectured on Middle East politics by a guy who used to headline the Bud Light tour. He should probably ask Bud Light how alienating your base worked out for them.”

…just looking at this guy, do you really think he knows anything about the Middle East. Another mindless tool

These entertainers are so stupid for thinking anyone cares about their opinions. I just want to hear their music. As soon as they put stuff like this out though, I will never listen again. There are plenty of others out there.

To be honest, I couldn’t name one song he sings and glad now I can’t. What a douchebag

I’d bet a lot that he can’t even give you a decent argument for exactly why Palestine needs to be free or even what the history of Palestine even is. He’s just jumping on the latest political trend like a good sheep, especially since he’s in Krafts arena. Hope he gets canceled.
