"Free speech" isn't the problem though? Butker has a stupid worldview, and Kaepernick was raising awareness of a real and important issue.

They can say whatever they want without retaliation from the government, and that's freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is not freedom from ridicule or consequences from other people.

It's not some fundamental question if rights. It's very simple: your ideas are shit, so we don't like you and think you should shut up.
