http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2017/10/08/vice-president-mike-pence-leaves-colts-game-over-protests-during-anthem/744277001/
Vice President Mike Pence tweeted Sunday that he left the Indianapolis Colts game against the San Francisco 49ers because of protests during the national anthem. No Colts players knelt during the anthem, but some 49ers players did. Pence tweeted this statement: "I left today's Colts game because President Trump and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem. At at time when so many Americans are inspiring our nation with their courage, resolve, and resilience, now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don't think it's too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag and our National Anthem. I stand with President Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem." Pence was in town to recognize former Colts great Peyton Manning. This weekend, a statue for Manning was unveiled, his number was retired and his name was put in the team's Ring of Honor. Also Sunday, Colin Kaepernick said he would stand for the national anthem should he have the opportunity to play again in the NFL. Kaepernick sat for the anthem, then knelt, last season, sparking national debate over social awareness by NFL players and respect for the flag and national anthem. --- Getting C's and D's, saying thanks and please.

They went to this game knowing there was going to be kneeling. That's like a black man intentionally going into a bar with Milo and KKK, only to be mad at the racism and leave.

And then they turn around and don't help the soldiers with illnesses/PTDS and no career prospects live....

It's a very clever ploy, turning any protest of the country's issues into a protest of "the troops" who We All Must Support. It comes from the same people who responded to opposition of the Iraq War with "support the troops!" --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Active soldiers are in a tough situation, because to be a soldier you basically do forfeit your rights to autonomy in a way. Granted, you shouldn't be forced to break the law, but... I dunno, that is tough.
