If he doesn't want to support institutions that disgrace the flag of the United States he shouldn't be a part of the Trump Administration.

NFL players are allowed to protest by kneeling during the anthem. Pence is allowed to protest by leaving. I don't see the problem .

Don't remember too many blue avatars saying they didn't see the problem during the past meltdowns over the anthem protests on here. Only now when Pence pulls a stunt during the anthem.

He didn't leave during the anthem

Let's say Pence just stopped to honor Payton Manning, which was what much of the day was about, but didn't attend the game and just went on to his next destination.  Would there be a huge flap about the cost?  I don't think so since prior to him walking out of the game, no articles were published about the OMGZ cost of honoring Payton.

So, not only did Pence waste a great deal of taxpayer money on a political stunt, he also childishly overshadowed honoring Peyton Manning.

And yet, here you are making excuses for Pence.  All at the same time as you also hypocritically claim the money spent on taking the monuments down could be put to better purposes.

The cost to ferry these guys around is ludicrous, and has nothing to do with the cities financing the removals.  But thanks.

The first German football soccer team - Hertha BSC - was kneeling before the kickoff of today's match in order to declare their solidarity with the victims of police violence and racial discrimination in the USA.

These German jokers can kneel all day as far as I'm concerned.
