Just a what if moment
What if the players at Sunday’s game had been given a heads-up about Pence’s planned walk-out – and agreed ahead of time that no one would “take a knee”?
Pence would then have had no reason to walk out in a huff – except that we all know he was already scheduled to be elsewhere. He then would have had to leave with no excuse as to why – underscoring the fact that he’d spent taxpayer money to attend a game he never had any intention of staying for.
This whole scheme would have collapsed. There would have been nothing to pretend to be pissed-off about, no faux outrage to be tweeted about – and Trump’s head would have exploded.

What happens if the whole team flips him a big bird and they all kneel? Does he cave in and let them play? Does he force them to forfeit? The mind boggles.
Standard GOP exceptionalism.
The corporate religious right is funded every Sunday morning from thousands of collection plates. 
...when that is done, cries of elitism and hatred come forth. Leave it as it was, the simpler, the better. These are mind challenged times. (I don't know whether or not to use
