Some people say he specifically chose the 49ers game because of the symbolic relationship with Kaepernick, but it was the game at which Peyton's number was to be retired and he is from Indiana. It was convenient that the game was against the 49ers, but that part is coincidence. I will concede him that.
That he had his entourage remain in their vehicles while he went in, stood for the anthem, and left both in protest and to attend a pre-scheduled fund-raising event, makes his protest disingenuous. It would be similar to someone showing up for a dinner party, protesting the setting of the table, and then leaving so he can be on time for his real plans.
