The Embarrassment of Pence's walk out

After seeing Trump's tweet about telling Pence to walk out if players knelt, I realize that this was nothing more than a planned stunt to further the discussion against the NFL and score political points with the base. Even if it wasnt pre planned, you had to know someone was going to kneel, they've been doing it for a year. And it couldnt have been a majority of the players, so you just made a point of it b/c a minority did it. Good to see the administration using the bully pulpit to take on a sports league.
