Man protests abortion during national anthem at Cowboys game

So, if kneeling is OK during the national anthem, what about protesting abortion? This is from today’s Cowboys game in Dallas:

A protester stood on the platform at the base of the stands, shouting "Vote Republican" and "Stop Abortion" while the National Anthem played before the #Cowboys–#Jaguars game. pic.twitter.com/I8PKegAQZh

And did you spot the fan giving the pro-life the bird? See below:

This occurred during National Anthem at Cowboys game today.
Anyone think this is not infinitely more more disrespectful than quietly taking a knee?

And security eventually escorted him off the roof, although a fan did snatch his sign:

So during the national anthem before #Jaguars at #Cowboys this old guy walked up/down holding a vote Republican sign & calling to end abortion. Peacefully removed. Fan snatched away the sign. Thank god he was not taking a knee pic.twitter.com/KqxrX7OhHi

As for the Cowboys themselves, they all stood for the anthem:
