Mr. Anson works from a simple premise:  Unless these "kids" were brainwashed, they'd agree with him.  It's actually possible that the reason they don't agree with him is that they HAVEN'T been brainwashed.  There's also the possibility, that (as I believe) different people can see things differently and can, quite legitimately, have different perspectives and different opinions.  Where Mr. Anson sees "acts of division", the players might see "expression of their First Amendment rights" in defense of, guess what, the First Amendment rights of others.  

Mr. Anson states "We are supposed to be celebrating our. all of our, freedom together"  I agree.  So let's all celebrate that these young men and women have the courage to express their concern with acts and comments by Mr. Trump which they feel jeopardize our First Amendment rights.  We don't need to agree with their protest. I don't need to agree with demonstrations by White Supremacists.  I do agree to celebrate our 1st AmendmentGC
