    Everybody knows Pence was there. Everybody who wants to know understands he took off. We all know why too.

    Hardly voting adults pouting on the side line. I say to the football players, collect those millions and be respectful to this country.

    Yeah,he took off because it was preplanned by him & trump (trump's tweet verifies that)for a silly political ploy at taxpayers expense that hoodwinked nobody except maybe you & a few others--- Talk about "fake " patriotism---disgraceful on pence's part-----
    But, hey,did you watch the whole video with " Congressman" Elijah Cummings himself speaking? I give you proof that your crying about & "crickets"

    What you mean is he figured the petulant players would not honor the country so he planned to bolt away from the game of the team he loved and try to piss you off. Apparently you think he needed to stay there so the poor rich players could pout and mess up the start of the game. Hell, it was my team that pouted.

    So, you till find fault with this nations honoring a significant battle vs the British? What on ever for? What made blacks hate the anthem so much?

    So many don't get it. This never was about the flag or the country. Only Trump, the White House, and Trump fans think that. The rest of the country knows that this was all about what Trump said and his contrived controversy. He was bored. So, he decided one day to attack nine black football players and the NFL.

    That is what this was about.

    The Pence incident borders on the ridiculous and illustrates just how stupid Trump really is. A $242,000 political stunt. Now that is the definition of stupid.

    Since when is the national anthem about blacks?

    Read the words or listen to the song. It is over a famous battle that was lost by England.

    For you to fall for the sucker punch by Kaepernick says a lot. A heck of a lot.

    If that were true then why were players protesting before Trump made his comment?

    The protests by most players AFTER Trump made the comment were about Trump, but if this wasn't going on before Trump said what he said then he wouldn't have said anything in the first place...

    My Pro Bowler friend is Richie Incognito (the bullying guy), after that whole thing he took a baseball bat to his Ferarri (still says he doesn't regret it....)

    I asked him to talk about this stuff through texts last week and he answered ..... "I ain't touchin this issue with a 1000 ft pole"

    Anthony Washington was my client. Anthony, during my finding a home for him, him loving it, buying it, and later using me to sell it to his brother, was a cool guy at the time.
    Anthony is shown in video trying to chase down Marcus Allen. Number 24 is his number on his jersey. He played at first for the Pittsburgh Steeler's and liked Chuck Noll and later liked playing for Coach Joe Gibbs. He liked Gibbs the best. Traded to Tampa Bay, he got cut from their team and he was done playing football. He lasted 5 seasons.

    So what is his deal? Some years later, I was told by Rick his brother to call him. That Anthony was wanting a home not far from Sacramento. I had his job phone number. i called him and he got angry and told me not to call him at work. So that ended that.

    Now, on this touchdown run, watch number 24 try to chase down Allen. All the way to the end, he could not come close.

    Later he told me Gibbs coaches instructed him to give Allen room. Well, we know how that worked out.

    Courage?? that's laughable. Pence is an ass for wasting tax payers to attend a game he knew he wasn't going to stay long. If he had any "courage" he would told Trump to shut up and not made this trip. As for Jones, he's a wimpy ass owner out to enrich his pocket book. He isn't standing because he's a "patriot."

    He's won nothing. Nobody's life have improved because of it. What a bunch of fake patriots. Real patriots would tell Trump to **** and get to work instead of spending time worrying about stupid symbolisms. What's he doing now? that's right, going to war with his own party. How the hell is he expecting to get his any of his agenda passed with no support?

    Nah...let's worry about muscle men kneeling instead.

    The founding fathers escaped the like of you. They never forced this fake patriotism on anyone. Of note, none of this shenanigans were presented until the modern day by big government who wants to control what their subjects think.

    The founding fathers didn't give two wits about a flag. If they were alive today, they'd roll over dead again seeing how the "conservatives" behave.

    Thanks for admitting that this is nothing more than a political ploy and taxpayers' expense. Fiscal conservative, my @zz.

    Don't blow a gasket. They started this crap when Obama was the insufferable president.

    But you think the football players down on their bended knee are right? What about the rest of the team that stood up and put their hand on their heart? Bet you hated them.

    Projection? I don't agree with the players kneeling, so I just don't watch the beginning of the game. Pretty much like how I don't agree with the KKK, but they are free to march and yell at the top of their lung, so long as they don't cause violence. They both are entitle to their 1st Amendment speech (NFL rulings aside). What I don't appreciate, is the hypocrisy of those on the right, who condone Pence's action, which amount to a childish political stunt, at MY expense. Who's paying for his time? who's paying for his airfare? who's paying for his security details????

    It's funny how those on the right tell me to ignore the KKK, but get their panties all twisted up because a bunch of grown men decided to exercise their rights (NFL rulings aside).

    A side note: What is that guy on the right of Pence NOT doing??

    Hands up, don't shoot was a con. And a colossal failure. What does that have to do with President Trump not getting a single thing done because he has declared war on the Republican Party, with your support. Why do you support the Democrats' agenda so much?

    And except for a very few stadiums which have never sold out, most games were completely sold out.

    Wake up and smell reality. And don't watch the NFL if you don't want to. You can simply attend your Trump Fan Club meetings and let the rest of us enjoy what we want to enjoy.

    Who said I was a Republican? I support cleaning up the ethical infestations that consist of both Parties' scum bags swapping off control of the Legislative Branch and I support ethical journalism. Some few things on the Left I agree with. A huge number of things on the Right I agree with.

    I think that the politicians and behind the scenes movers and shakers on both sides need to be closely monitored. The differences between the Left and the Right so far as ethical corruption is concerned is that the Right TRIES to do something about their sides' scum buckets whereas the Left embraces their scum buckets. So therefore it is far easier to clean up the Right before shaming the Left into getting off dead center -- ethically speaking -- in regards to their politicians and etcetera.

    Why are you back tracking and trying to revise history? They were kneeling last year when Obama was president, they were/are clearly disrespecting our flag and our anthem

    Destroy the Republican Party is not a good thing, unless you want the "leftists" to regain control of both Houses of Congress.

    You should also consider how much money and support the flag loving, country loving, patriotic President has given to those same leftists for decades.
