Is it freedom of speech?

Recently the cricket star Nasir Hossain posted a photo with his sister on his facebook page. But some people who follow him on his page posted comments by abusing the brother and sister. Is it really freedom of speech? Star cricketers like Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafee bin Mortaza and Tamim Iqbal had to face this kind of embarrassing situation. Nasir Hossain then removed the photo from his page and said in a post that, "Dear fans, I really got hurt by your comments. I posted this picture at the request of my younger sister, many of you put bad comments on it. And some of them made fun posts with it. I have removed the picture. Are you happy now? I do not need fans like you. Whoever do not like me, please don't follow me and put comments on my picture. Thank you." Is this the behaviour expected from us by those who represent the red and green in front of the world?
