Story summary

Country singer Zach Bryan wore a "Free Palestine" shirt during his concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Friday night. The stadium is owned by Robert Kraft, the New England Patriots owner and staunch supporter of Israel. This move came weeks after Kraft barred rapper Macklemore from performing at Gillette Stadium for making pro-Palestinian remarks during Ed Sheeran’s tour in MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. Bryan's band members also wore Palestine-branded clothing during their show. The shirt Bryan wore featured the phrase "Free Palestine" and included an appeal to heaven with a pine tree logo, referencing American Revolutionary War-era sentiments.
