The media pool was kept in the vans ahead of the game instead of being led in with VPOTUS. https://t.co/NXIFZCp3fb
Pre planned faux outrage

Political stunts may solidify their base, but it'll make them all the more hated by everyone else in the long run.

They finally found an issue where they're not polling like garbage on so they're going to milk it for all its worth. Meanwhile, the actual work of governing is TBA.

No doubt was angry the nazi and confederate flags weren't honored.
To do just what he did--walk out of the game and make a big stink about it. This is all political showmanship.
To create a pr stunt.

Hahahaha. I love how Peyton gets pulled in on this.
He was also with mother, who looked very happy.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
No way this isn't pre-planned. Media told to wait outside... nice little GIF'd statement already to go.
Fuck these guys. Using the NFL protests to draw attention away from all their failures.

Obviously he wanted to enjoy the great sport of Football like a proud American. But he was shocked--shocked!--to discover such blatantly un-patriotic behavior by those n...eanderthals that he left in disgust.
I mean, who could have possibly seen that turn of events coming?

Mike Pence looks like a soap opera villain--the untrustworthy doctor with a roving eye. It's the hair. And that always stern expression.

With all the shit Trump has talked, him not leaving would have caused a media frenzy like we haven't seen. It would have emboldened players to protest even more knowing the vice president was almost complicit in it today. Donny boy would have been shit talking him on twitter by sundown.

So this is what Corker was referring to. Instead, of baby sitting Trump, Pence went the the game.
Which is why he would have never gone in the first place if he didn't already know ahead of time he was going to stage this walkout.

What's amazing is how much time is being spent on this by our government about an issue that doesn't actually effect anybody in any way but their fucking "feelings".
Meanwhile, POC are being gunned down by cops without consequence...
..people's debt is at historic levels.
..people cant' afford healthcare and the law we have is being sabotaged by the government in charge.
..our POTUS is threatening nuclear war with multiple countries, but one that is ran by literally crazy people.
..58 people were gunned down just going to a concert.
..people lost everything in hurricanes.
...yet fucking GOP feelings about a song... that's the important shit.

Ridiculous stunt by Pence. What a joke. Insert Well...bye gif.

Such outrage over a quiet, 2 minute, non-confrontational act. I think these folks would start a civil war if they ever had to endure what the anthem kneelers are actually protesting about.

You see, this time he had knowledge that the performers were going to make a political statement.

Just another reminder that Pence is every bit as bad as Trump.
Well I guess I'll be back to boycotting the NFL again. It's OK, been pretty shit lately anyway.

How would kneeling during a fucking sports game be more disrespectful to America than being in charge and allowing this to happen?

The Pence walkout thing makes sense... instead of actually trying to legislate or get things done let us focus on protesting the protesters to get a point across.
I wish I could say I am surprised by how petty and stupid this administration is but I am not.

If Colin comes back I don't think he should stand for the anthem.

I love how it took him an hour to realize the kneeling and leaves.

So all the 12D chess people, this is what it looks like when they are actually trying to do something. Transparent, unintelligent and completely clumsy.
Nice.
That just screams to me he's willing to do anything to play the game again, even if it means going against his ideals.

This shit is so transparently performative, god damn.
Not a huge fan of that, but I'm all about him conning a team.

Sad.
Ali had his title stripped, arrested and kicked out of boxing (in his prime) for being against the Vietnam War. He didn't cave.

Because your Overton window is so fucked it's actually a mirror in Trump's bathroom with him gurning at it 24/7.
