(I'm a little late with this one. The Winter Olympics just haven't grabbed me this time, and anything you see happened pretty much yesterday. Plus a few other things have occupied my time and attention. Oh well!)

Last fall when many NFL players took a knee during the anthem in protest of police brutality, V.P. Mike Pence said there was no place for politics in the world of sports.
The very next thing he did was inject politics into sports. At a Colts home game where he knew some players would be kneeling, Pence made a big show of walking out early in a premeditated huff. Kneeling for the anthem! Harrumph! Harrumph!
At the opening ceremonies of the PyeongChang Olympic Games, Pence pointedly remained seated as the Unified Korean team was introduced -- more deliberate political posturing from Pence at an athletic event. It was an insult to his hosts, and it effectively copy-catted the same form of protest he found so intolerable when employed by those awful (black) NFL players.
Pence is so dense (Dense Pence? I like it!) he doesn't see what a hypocritical moralizing moron he truly is.
