"BUT" because he went against a ban to play the most improtant thing in his life, he becomes an enemy of the USA, I also have a problem with that!

Tom, what he did, regardless of whether you think it's moral or not is still a crime. As a former police officer, you know that there's nothing immoral about running an orange light for example or rolling a stop sign when no one's around. But are you breaking the law? Yup. Do you deserve a ticket when you do it? I think so.
Of course Fischer's actions rose to a MUCH higher level than rolling a stop sign. As a US Citizen, you have certain duties, responsibilities and obligations. What he's saying here is that he feels that he should be above the law due to his pseudo-celebrity status.
He's an egotistical jackass.
He should be French.
