freedom of speech does not equal freedom from the consequences of saying something.

Exactly.

I've seen it summed it up thusly: "If your speech incites violence, don't be surprised when people use violence in response."

So I guess fights at professional sports games are justified violence, since someone probably incited it by insulting an opposing player.
