Ratings were down before he tweeted a thing.  Why is it that Pence's move is a PR stunt, but what these guys do every single week to gain attention (the definition of PR stunt), isn't?

I assume it's the planned PR stunt combined with taxpayer money spent on the trip? Pence also tried to play it off like he wasn't going to do what he did the whole time. It was clearly a planned event to walk out. Though I wonder if he got upset with the cameraman that wasn't respecting the flag/anthem by taking a picture during it.

Obviously, they're both PR stunts.

He’s a blowhard. Just smiles more and more politically correct. Especially, ineffective for 8 years which is fine ‘cuz his vision for socialist America was diastrous.
I agree with this analysis.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Pretty soon there will be 10 people left on Scoop arguing every point on every topic while the rest take their ball and go home.  Sounds like a good time to me.   ::)

Oh, in before the lock.

Nothing says respect for the flag more than using it for a self-aggrandizing stunt. Trump and Pence have taken over ownership of the flag as if it is theirs to own.

As I said earlier, I will no longer stand or salute the flag till these creeps are out of office. Nothing mocks the flag more than supporting these people.

That's the spirit!  Why be respectful of the diversity that makes this country what it is when you can just tell people to go live in Afghanistan?

Looks like the NFL could be in the middle of a boycott from both sides. I hope both sides win.

Try pulling that sh1t at a real sporting event. You'll be standing, even without a spine.
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Eh, I think you overestimate people's willingness to get into confrontation. Nobody's gonna try and start a fight with someone whose sitting down, especially if they've paid over $100 a ticket.

Newton's 3rd law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The players made the flag an issue, now those who feel doing that is inappropriate are reacting. This is all as American as apple pie.
