He went to honor Manning - Manning is big deal in Indiana.

His LEAVING is what made the impact. Couldn’t leave if he didn’t go in the first place.

THIS

An outstanding move, imho !

The entire stadium should have walked with him.

Did any other spectators also leave the stadium as Pence was leaving?

Just a bit of loyalty. He’s the former governor of Indiana. I guess he assumed everyone would behave like loyal, patriotic Americans. But a few took the spotlight and showed they are mere narcissistic, disloyal prima donas. So he showed his disgust by leaving. I’d wager he’s cured, and won’t waste his time on the NFL again any time soon.

Oh, so it wasn’t about him honoring some player as others have suggested?

Got it!

Exactly! The NFL should be shunned in entirety. No supposed “event” can change their decision to disrespect our flag and country.

Absolutely. They’re the same traitors who kept covering the swamp corruption for many decades. Pure 100% propaganda. The insider establishment government still runs the media. It needs to be killed just like the NFL.

I was already a Pence fan, but didn’t know that the size of his kahunas had been influenced by Trump to this extent...

“Kahuna” means an important person.

Well, important perhaps, but more in line with teacher, that is a great teacher, the Big Teacher, the Wise One, so to speak. Definitely not a ball sack, or sack of balls in any dimension.

Was it perhaps, a strategic thing?

That was such an excellent line that I quoted you over at another forum   :-)

Thank you, seems some posters overlooked that piece of the story and would rather bark over some perceived ‘better’ way of making a statement.
I think some just post such nonsense out of boredom or an unhealthy desire to be ‘right’.

He went so he could leave.
On his own money, I hope.

This is going to end this nonsense going on in the NFL, plus Kaepernick saying he will stand for the Anthem.

So much winning.

yupper! Pence seems like a guy who knows what he’s doing and always has the next step planned for any possibility.

I suspect that was the main purpose.
Probably at the suggestion of his boss, who knows how to stage a scene. Mike was utilized earlier in a similar way, when he went to that theater performance, and was lectured by some nitwit cast members about race. Allow let the left to react, and show the public just how unhinged and out of touch they are. I’m pretty sure they will rise to the bait once again.

Good for him. He gave them a chance and they blew it!
