No. You deflected by talking about Pence's bathroom habit. Are you a pervert?
And I have no comment on the players using taxpayer money because I don't know much about that. I thought it was the NFL, not players. But stop deflecting to Pence's bathroom habits and players. Let's focus on Pence and his cheap public stunt as per the OP. Stop going off topic.
As a taxpayer, you don't own Pence's actions.

No sh t Sherlock? I never said that.
And in case you didn't realize the players get paid to play. They are on the job during the game, not before and after. So your argument about "players getting paid by taxpayers' money to protest" falls apart.
And no it isn't effective. The players will still kneel, hence wasting our tax money. It's scary that the administration is abusing it's power to supress free speech. Don't that concern you?

Nope. Your logic is all over the place. Pence's bathroom habit. Seriously?
And from your comments it seems that you don't think Americans should be allowed to express opinions about politicians' actions. I hope you don't believe that? Do you?
You realize this whole situation has been a stunt promoted by the left
from the beginning, right? Too bad the poor, oppressed millionaires

Again with being Captain Obvious. Why do you love to be Captain Obvious? Pence is free to protest all he wants. He is free to waste our money doing it. Nobody ever denied that. Now, here's the most important part, I am free to say that it is silly for Pence to waste taxpayers' money for the faux cheap publicity stunt. If you have a problem with that, then you need to go to your safe space.
People have the right to complain about how the administration spend taxpayers' money. They have been doing that throughout history. ATS members here do that all time. Complaining about how they spend money on the military. I guess to you that means they want president to be under house and office arrest? (BTW that was one of the most ridiculous straw man arguments I have ever seen on ATS so grats.)
I am glad you have finally realised that what Pence did was perfectly acceptable.
I knew we'd get there.

If that makes you feel better for not winning then go right ahead.
At least you finally realize that it's our opinions. Good.
My opinon of Pence's faux protest? Stupid.
Your opinion of it? Good.
There it's settled.
Next time you complain about a politican's action, I'll accuse you of wanting him or her to be under house arrest to remind you of how ridiculous your argument was.

Please do, it will remind me how ridiculous the "taxpayer argument" is that is used by leftists upset they lost an election.

The 1st amendment does not protect you from an employers wishes when it comes to protesting and what you say/do.
