I’m surprised he even went. I see those still supporting the NFL as traitors and sellouts.
He went to make his own statement. We are being manipulated just like the left.
I’m glad he went, and then left.
It will encourage others to do the same.
Leadership.
“I’m surprised he went”
He knew what he would do if they started this crap. Pence is a politician and what better way to show off your patriotism?
We wouldn't even know that players took a knee had he not because the league isn't showing them on TV.
Pence exposed them.
It's called an olive branch. His home team was playing, and he attended to show his support - and to give all the players a chance to do the right thing.
They didn't, so he left.
Perhaps he went to make his opinion known.
So do I. I thought that this morning when saw the thread here on FR under the name of How two Las Vegas wrongs do not take away a right expecting to find an article about the shooting in Vegas but it was none other than the "Weekly NFL thread" - how deceitful - with the comment by Bender 2 that reads:
"Certain folks who hate the NFL do not care that we on these NFL LIVE THREADS do not praise any of the protestors nor ask any one to not boycott watching the games. Just because we want to weekly pick who will win and who will lose, we are to blame..So, I will still continue to post the NFL LIVE THREAD as long as I can because I have a right to--"
I guess being in the know about the NFL is more important than standing on principle for the good old USA and the flag.
That's ridiculous. Let's not forget that people are entitled to their own opinions—and also consider the fact that the vast majority of players stand for the anthem with their hands over their hearts. Those are the players that need to exert pressure on their malingering teammates.
Being a Miami Dolphins fan—and the Dolphinsa have been one of the worst offenders—I'm fully on board with the #NFLBoycott myself, but calling those who still choose watch "traitors and sellouts" is entirely too strident, given the totality of the facts...
Peyton Manning’s Colts jersey was to be retired. As a former governor of Indiana, it was appropriate for him to be there. The pre-planned response to the predictable protest, too, was highly appropriate.
