Vice President Mike Pence attended the 49ers-Colts game in Indy today. However, he did not stay very long. After watching many 49ers’ players kneel during the national anthem, Pence left the game and tweeted this out:
I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.

49ers S Eric Reid, who knelt before the game, believes what Pence did was done for PR. Here is what he said after the game:
