Free speech takes many forms, in this case, the NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem is a form of free speech. You may not like it and I may not like it but it is their Constitutional right to do so. It is NOT disrespecting the flag.

Trump is playing a game, its called WAG THE DOG! His poll numbers are in the crapper! He could start a war, that is always good for poll numbers, oh snap, he is trying that with Rocket Man. Or he could try distraction, look over here at this shiny object, these guys HATE THE UNITED STATES!

So he sends Mike Pence off to Indy, at the expense of the taxpayers, to walk into the game wait for the National Anthem and walk out in PROTEST of the protest. The VP told the Press pool not to come with him because he wouldn't be long.
