Vice President Mike Pence leaves Colts-49ers game after players reportedly kneel

Vice President Mike Pence spoke out on Sunday about why he left a football game between the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game, the same day it emerged that former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has said he'd stand for the national anthem if he can play in the NFL once more.

“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,” Pence tweeted.



Several 49ers players reportedly kneeled for the anthem on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Pence later tweeted, "At a time when so many Americans are inspiring our nation with their courage, resolve, and resilience..."



"...now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us...," he added in another tweet.
