If we are going on literal definitions, here is the definition of protest:

A statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something

Springsteen objects to this law therefor he is taking action against it by choosing not to bring his business and spend his money where this law is in effect.

Meanwhile the definition of discrimination is: The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

If Springsteen showed up to do the show, walked out on stage and asked those in the crowd to raise their hands if they agreed with this law then proceeded to throw out everyone who raised their hands, he would be discriminating against them by refusing them access to his show because of their beliefs.
