A new report from The Armstrong and Getty Radio Show has sent shockwaves throughout the sports world after it was revealed that members of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders may have purposefully allowed their star quarterback to get sacked multiple times after he refused to kneel during the National Anthem.
If true, this would essentially mean that an NFL football game was illegally thrown over anger that one of the teams star white players did not believe that kneeling during the nations anthem was the correct way to protest supposed racial injustice in America.
In other words, an epic level scandal.
During the anthem, virtually the entire team was seen kneeling other than the teams coaches and star quarterback Derek Carr. Unfortunately, this may have not set well with the teams offensive line as they were apparently the players who spearheaded the entire idea to kneel as a team in the first.
“This is one hell of a scandal with the NFL, could ruin the whole league,” claimed the show before detailing the fact that Carr was sacked two times in a row on the teams second drive and that the teams usually dependable center snapped the ball at the wrong time in three different instances. Extremely capable receivers also made multiple “weird” drops of passes thrown by Carr that T.V. announcers even noted at the time.
The radio show then revealed bombshell “insider information” from an “extremely reliable” source who claimed that members of the Oakland Raiders did indeed throw the game as a sort of punishment for Carr choosing to not use the countries anthem to make a leftist political statement.
I could see back in the day where post-season was significant. But with today's huge contracts, isn't it basically now a 'drop in the bucket'?
Thanks talking about it on another thread but was not sure.
EJ Manuel was GIFTED by the Bills GM at the time, Doug Whaley. Whaley picked Manuel in the first round, when everyone expected Manuel to go in round 5-7.
Having made that first mistake, Whaley then anointed Manuel as the heir-apparant, giving him a solid three years to try and make it as a starting NFL QB.
Manuel didn’t come close. Manuel is inaccurate and has TERRIBLE decision making.
That’s why they call ‘em the Faders.
Revoke their membership. If true.....damm them all to hell.
Carr took a knee.... to his back.
Just what the NFL needs: question about the integrity of the game. Also, retaliation against non-black and/or non-protesting players. They certainly appear to have a death wish.
Isn't that exactly what they do?
I wish these a-holes would just please tell us which country they’d like to live in since they hate this one so much.
I predicted a breakdown in the relationship among the players would eventually happen on a thread last week. If this is true, the infighting has already started.
I have seen some insane collective actions done that no single person would have tolerated.
This sounds like a collective decision disaster on “the road to Abilene”. It is also known as a “false consensus” or “Abilene Paradox”
It is pushed by the media, which feeds the false consensus.
I was thinking earlier that a lot of the ‘Whites’ may have joined the movement because they are so outnumbered on the field and easier to ‘fake’ it than risking injury because of ‘missed blocks’ or getting ‘piled on’ etc.
Of course that could be (sort of) accomplished by just not speaking out against the ‘brothers’ but when they were being openly ‘for them’(Like Brady) I figured they went to far because when the SHTF, the Whites ‘closest’ to the Blacks will be the first to fall - no matter what their allegiance is.
Ya’ don’t $hit where you eat or sleep.
I won’t believe this without unimpeachable evidence.
Well I certainly wouldn’t trust the NFL thugs.
I won’t believe this without unimpeachable evidence.
Disgusting. I needed a shower after one Sunday of that crap. Never again.
Interesting.
