Not a legitimate form of protest.  Fire that son of a bitch!

Are we all duty and honor bound to support these protests?

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

I don't have a problem with Pence protesting, but this was certainly a preplanned stunt.  He flew from Las Vegas to Indianapolis last night for a game with the 49ers, who have a history of players kneeling during the anthem.  Reporters were told to stay in their van because Pence might be departing the game early.  He's flying to California this afternoon. 

How much did this stunt cost the taxpayers?  Not that this Administration cares about that sort of thing.

I'm sure the players and fans were greatly dismayed to learn they were no longer in the same building as Mike Pence.

Nothing says "I support my team" more than leaving their stadium as soon as the other team does something you don't like.

As OSR would say:

I can't support someone protesting on the government's dime. He should resign.

Gotta wonder how much it costs for security to secure a stadium for a VP, including his route to and from the stadium, only for him to leave 5 minutes in for a bit of grandstanding.

And the extra flight costs for the trip to Indy.

Grandstanding is worth every penny. Up my taxes if it means more of this!

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.

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.
