Why go?

VP Mike Pence walked out of the Dolts-69ers game when players knelt during the national anthem. I am glad he did, but wonder why he bothered to attend. Indiana is his home, I understand that, but not every Indianian is a patriotic American.
It does make a loud and clear statement, The enemedia will try to play it to their favor, but something like this, in front of the cameras lets people know that boycotting a bunch of crybaby jackasses who, were it not for football, would be construction workers, garbage collectors, ditch diggers, or unemployed, is a good thing to do. Me thinks the last group would be the largest.
He should ask for a refund. If the petulant children won't show respect when the VP is present, they shouldn't get a dime from him for it.
As for Eric Reid, You are an entertainer. If you don't give the people what they want they shouldn't have to give you anything. If we had systematic oppression, there would be no blacks in the NFL. That you wasted your time at LSU and didn't finish with a marketable skill beyond football was your choice. In a few more years you will be a washed up broken down has been with nothing to show for your life. Your opinion won't matter then either.
