Thank you for the mention.
Sounds reasoned to me.
As someone else said. Trump may have been trying to give Pence cover.
I think it’s pretty dicey the concept that the president can order his vice-president to do something like this.
Hey Rog...
Too little.
Too late.
Too bad.
Standing is one thing. But standing WITH HAND OVER HEART is another. If they don’t show the standard proper respect, then the standing means nothing.
And even then, I’m not convinced, as they HAVE to be TOLD to show respect. Bye bye NFL.
From here on out a players ability to ply their trade in this league will hinge on their respect for this country, represented by the word NATIONAL in the National Football League.

You are quite the optimist. And far more forgiving than I.
Yep

Rove is the hole in the nation’s ass...only putting out what is not wanted or needed.
“Asked” is not “ordered”. Pence did what Pence wanted to do and the President supported what he did. Pence was elected to his position in his own right, just as the President was. Pence had free will and the votes of the people to fill his position, just as the President did. The fact is that he and the President were on the same page.
And it was spontaneous in the sense that it would only happen if something else happened. Something else did happen, so Pence chose then to do what he said he would do. Had the players respected the flag and country, Pence and his wife would have stayed the full game.
Can’t argue with that.
The Media called it “a stunt”. (As though Liberals don’t pull stunts).
