Social Media Reacts to Vice President Mike Pence Walking out After Players 'Take a Knee'

Vice President Mike Pence left the Indianapolis Colts game Sunday afternoon following 15 players from the San Francisco 49ers deciding to "take a knee" during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality.

While Pence took to Twitter to share his reason for leaving the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, fans of the game had mixed emotions about his actions — some approved, some not so much.

"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 wrote in a series of tweets.
