Vice President Mike Pence spoke out on Sunday about why he left a football game between the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game, the same day it emerged that former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has said he'd stand for the national anthem if if given a chance to play football in the NFL again.
“I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,” Pence tweeted.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,"

So, you think he didn't expect players to kneel?
Nice bit of theatrics though.

Jones’ comments, the strongest made on the anthem controversy, came after he was asked about Vice President Mike Pence leaving the game in Indianapolis early after several San Francisco 49ers players took a knee during the national anthem.

M'kay.
Let's see where the NFL really is after the dust settles.
Doubt it will be better off.

It looked like only 4 or 5 Seahawk players were sitting.
Which has been the case since last year.
Until Trump opened his face.

So now being the best at what you do, working hard, and becoming a millionaire is a bad thing. Especially if you did it from a crappy neighborhood?
I guess it's better to make your money the old fashion way,..by inheriting it..withe the family business.

Way to distort what I said. Apply at CNN right now! My bottom line is this is a fad with these players. How many are really supporting these causes off the field!?
