text: Your comment is ridiculous and you obviously know very little about sports and are no doubt are a Trump supporter. This was a planned stunt by Pence as orchestrated by Trump. And at quite a cost to taxpayers.  Last time I checked, this was a scheduled game between the Colts and 49'ers. The 49'ers were one of the first teams to have black players kneel in protest against racism and police brutality. Pence knew that players on San Francisco's would kneel. 
  
  Players have the right to protest during the National Anthem whether you agree or not. Personally, I would remove the playing of the National Anthem for all games, period. But the actual participation of players kneeling was down to a few players a game until Trump looked to score points for his hungry red base.
