Maybe the Penguins are going to WH out of respect for the office and and plan on having productive dialogue on the subject, which would be a less divisive way then Steph Curry for declining a great honor.
Yep I don't disagree with you. I personally would never sit through the anthem despite my personal feelings for who's in the WH. That's not the way to protest a "president". And yes, the Pens are going due to respect of the WH not who occupies it, and that's absolutely the right thing for them to do. I personally voice my protests in ways of signing petitions. And even though I think they're likely not ever going to change anything, I at least feel like I did something. But right now I'm pissed at the Steelers due to their ass play today more than anything else.
