Pence leaves Colts game after players kneel



I applaud Vice President Pence for walking out of the San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts game which the Colts won 26-23 (OT) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Former 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick started this whole protest by kneeling during the singing of The National Anthem. Any team that takes part in protesting during the singing of the national anthem I have no respect for them. I was disgusted when I saw NFL players that kneeled during the national anthem and NFL teams that wouldn't come out on the field when the national anthem was being sung. I was even more disgusted when I saw some national anthem singers kneeling towards the end of the song. The NFL is sending a mix message when it comes to rules and guidelines. If NFL players want to protest, then the NFL players can protest outside and say to the coach and the owners that he do not want to stand during the singing of the national anthem because he feels that there is injustice towards unarmed black people being shot and killed by cops. The coach and owners will gladly tell the players that if you want to protest, you can protest all you want just know you will be severely disciplined. If more owners, coaches, and even the commissioner would have proper rules and guidelines these NFL players wouldn't be so quick to protest. In my opinion, the NFL players are only demonstrating that they want to be seen and heard. Guess what??? Elementary school and high school kids are copying off the NFL players by not standing during the singing of the national anthem because they look up to these NFL players who are supposed to be role models to them. President Trump told Vice President Pence that if Vice President Pence see anything that is disrespectful by the NFL players at the game that Vice President Pence should leave. Vice President Pence, who is a former Governor of his home state of Indiana saw enough disrespect with NFL players from the 49ers that Vice President Pence left with his wife Karen Pence.
