So let me get this straight: you want freedom but at the same time, you go scorched earth on anyone who dares to disrespect the national anthem. Which is literally the exact opposite of freedom. You can't have it both ways, fuck faces.

Their sacred song actually includes the line "Land of the free and the home of the brave".

Disrespecting the national anthem is dumb and immoral, but it's a protected right

But when a brave man stands up in a peaceful expression of freedom, harming no one, they melt down.

It's dumb, because it sets back any cause it (supposedly) aims to promote. It's immoral, because the many causes it often sets back are good causes. But it is a protected right. An own goal is a legal goal in soccer and hockey.
I don't know what Kapler did or who Nick Adams is. But I do know it's wrong to set back good causes. Sincere and/or good intentions mean nothing to me. Effectiveness for good is what matters. Ineffectivess for good is bad.
