Tonight at Gillette Stadium, Zach Bryan, one of the biggest country music artists in the world, wore a Free Palestine shirt onstage.
Gillette Stadium is owned by Robert Kraft, who pushed Ed Sheeran and his promoter to drop Macklemore from his tour.
Bryan isnโt just a major country artist.
He is one of the biggest live draws in music, filling stadiums across the United States and in major cities around the world.
Bryan served eight years on active duty in the US Navy and served overseas in Bahrain and Djibouti.
Members of Bryanโs band also wore shirts supporting the Palestinian cause, including his drummer, who wore a jersey honoring the memory of Hind Rajab.
Zach Bryan has a second show at Gillette Stadium tomorrow, Saturday night.
Iโm so proud of you Azeez.
My brother, who went to Jordan to be with Palestinian refugees this summer. Who spends time with Palestinian children with missing limbs in Houston. Who is using every week of his pro bowl NFL career to honor a Palestinian child despite the fines.
This week itโs Wafaa Akila who was only 8 years old when she was murdered in an Israeli airstrike.
In the sports and entertainment arenas run by many of the same types of people who run government, choose to be like @A_train2_@KyrieIrving and @macklemore.

What message does this send? Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, spoke at GOP convention. He was serving 2 life sentences + 40 yrs with no parole. Site sold illegal drugs, laundered money & he paid $730k in murder-for-hire deals targeting at least 5 people. Trump pardoned him.
Hakeem Jeffries is fine with racism as long as it's against Muslim and Arab Americans. He chose not to say a word to defend Zohran Mamdani from the vile racist attacks against the mayor from the Islamophobes demanding he not attend the 9/11 ceremony in NY.
Despite receiving Mamdani's loud endorsement. Despite Mamdani shutting down a primary challenge to Jeffries.
This is who Hakeem Jeffries is: unyeilding support for Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and Lebanese abroad, notably silent on anti-Muslim hate at home.
Kamala Harris swooped in to endorse centrist Chris Pappas for NH Senate over his opponent Karishma Manzur, a Bangladeshi immigrant who is pro-Medicare for All and for cutting off weapons to Israel. She calls Gaza a genocide.
So much for "electing women".
I told Save the Children: Save the Cuban children, too. ๐จ๐บThe U.S. blockade makes lifesaving medicine and medical equipment extraordinarily difficult to obtain. โEvery childโ must truly mean every child. Join me! @codepink https://t.co/iqCgoKBDdt
Ms. Rachel has courageously amplified the voices of Palestinian children. Now weโre asking her to listen to Cubaโs children too. ๐
Add your name and help us reach her. ๐ https://t.co/F0uX37rx7q
