Vice President Mike Pence was in attendance for the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game on Sunday, but he wasn't there for long.
That's because he left Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis after several 49ers players took a knee for the playing of the national anthem.
Pence, the former governor of Indiana, took to Twitter to announce his early departure, writing that he couldn't "dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem."(continued)

Sounds hokey, unless he usually goes to the games.
I applaud the fact that the VP left, as he should have.
These premadonas trash our police, our service men and women, anyone who voted for Trump, America and it is called oppression.
“This is what systemic oppression looks like.”
Um, no. It doesn’t look anything like that at all.
Systemic oppression would be your dumb ass face down in a ditch with a 9mm hole in the back of your head.

Well,boo hoo hoo.
No, Mr. Reid, spoiled child. This is what systematic oppression looks like

On a side note, Peyton better be careful what he says in order to spare his statue.
tomorrow => today
It does sound contrived, but I read elsewhere that one of the reasons Pence attended was because they were retiring Peyton Manning’s number.
Marxism!! Ask the Asian’s about repression and discrimination.
Oh wait, the blacks don’t want a constructive positive example...... Dear God, their excuses would be gone, they would have to look in a mirror and be RESPONSIBLE for their BEHAVIOR & VALUES!!!
He goes to the games. His former office was 3 blocks from the stadium. His wife is a bigger fan than he is. It was a big game to boot with Peyton being honored. NFL = No Fans Left. Have not watched a minute of NFL since Crappydick sat on the bench during the anthem. To then have the audacity to kneel.... it made it permanent. To hell with the NFL.
Now, if all the fans got up and walked out, that would even be better.
Do any white working class middle class people still fall for this “systemic oppression” crap?
Do these people not recall what happened to Pence at a Hamilton showing? Why are we still allowing the Media to dictate the message?
I have quit watching the NFL. I now only watch college football unless they start this crap too. They should move some college games to Sunday.
Yes it would, but some value sports more than anything else.
sad, but too each their own. hopefully they’ll learn what’s important.
Good for Pence.
HOORAY Mike Pence!
