    Good for him

    Glad to see he took a stand
    Vice President Mike Pence said he left the Colts game after the national anthem after some of the visiting San Francisco 49ers knelt in protest.

    it is excellent he left! sad yet that those overpaid bungholes cant find any other time during the remaining 23 hrs 58min of the day to protest, instead of disrespecting everything this country stands for!

      Evert American there should walk out, but our society is so screwed up that they would rather close there eyes to this disrespect, to watch these over paid idiots play a kids game.

        Did you read how the left is twisting it? Demonizing Trump and Pence while justifying the arrogance and disrespect.

        But hey, #sticktosports.

        Attacking NFL players for peaceably protesting seems to be an easy way for President Donald Trump and his administration to rally support. It’s incredibly disingenuous to make this a story of the players being anti-military, because at no point in any protest have any players ever said they were against the military. But still that narrative persists, even with the vice president on Sunday.

        If you thought that the issue was dying down, after many protests in Week 3, Trump and Pence made sure it was back in the news on Sunday.
        FWIW, I watched baseball instead of football....and the Cubs & Nats had the day off.

          Preplanned and a waste of tax dollars, but what else is new?

            And how many more tens of thousands did Pence's Indianapolis trip cost taxpayers, all so he could, at the behest of Trump, walk out, during the Colts/49ers game; in a moment of clearly choreographed verisimilitude. Everyone knows that the 49 players were going to protest during the anthem. It wasn't like some spur of the moment decision and Pence was so offended he left. Pence is nothing if not insincere, inauthentic and dishonest. No wonder he and Trump get along. Media was told he was going to leave early so that the cameras and all the base could see him "outraged". Trump loves creating fake news.

              It's all Pence's and Trumps fault? Gee, if those idiot football players would have just stood for the National anthem like they should, he wouldn't have left. Maybe it's Bush's fault.

                Wow!!! Pence is the Vice President of the United States. His mode of travel is dictated by the Secret Service. He cannot go down to the airport and buy a ticket and fly on a commercial airliner. Campaign trips and fundraisers are routinely billed back to the party. The next stop after LV was to be at a fundraising event and as such was probably paid for by either the party or by campaign funds. Who knows for certain? Ahhh... answer to that is Oscars! He has a direct inside connection to information that mere mortals are not allowsed to see.

                Never miss a chance to stab Trump in the back and support the knee crawler trash that are dissing our country, our flag and our veterans!
