Did NFL’s Oakland Raiders Throw Game After White QB Refused To Kneel For National Anthem?

He got more sacks in one game than the 3 year’s previous.

It would not be unknown in the history of the NFL for linemen to let a QB eat some dirt as some kind of lesson. That’s a million miles away from throwing a game!

No player is secure enough to pull something like this.

The league and league owners are scared cr@pless of the infantile black players, and being called racist. All they have to do is say "we don't see a problem" and it's over.

What else would expect them to do, admit their whole league is a fraud?

Can’t believe this could be true. These players’ desire for a ring rises above hatred for our country.

I really want to see the NFL completely bankrupt and non-functional.

It is a large group of mentally-sick people making huge amounts of money that encourages cop killing and employment of felons.

I read this and watched tape. There were a few early snaps and jail breaks where Carr got creamed. Nothing obvious, but Imwas wondering if Carr would get hurt today. He did (I refuse to watch the games but still play fantasy football for work/social reasons and follow the alerts)

“No lineman is going to risk losing post-season money over some political nonsense, or risk losing his starting job once he’s spotted giving up on his block in film reviews.”

Not a football follower and I would never claim to know 1/500th of what you may or others may about the game. I could watch the replay (but I won’t) and come to an entirely uneducated opinion from viewing the game and the plays. Other will, I am sure.

But this isn’t a matter of individual players making what they believe are strategic (meaning financial, in this case) choices. That option has been removed by groupthink and enforced conformative behavior. I don’t find the accusation implausible, but again......

I am hoping that will be the result of all this.

Trump has been carrying a grudge against the NFL for many years. Those chickens are coming home to roost.

It's going to wind up costing the NFL a hell of a lot more than $3 in the end.

Many that I know are DONE with the NFL. They used to be the keystone of the fan base. I personally feel NOTHING about my team and the NFL. They can FOAD.

you actually think that these players can critically think about consequences?...because they don't have the intellect to do that...

I read that today Carr went down with an injury and the raiders lost the game...

two losses so far is not going to play well for a championship run...

I cannot listen to them. They sound as if they are in a fraternity party—nothing is taken seriously, everything is a joke. Why must most duo talk show hosts pit themselves against one another? Hannity does this with “Linda.” “Flipper” is long gone but I refuse to listen when the namesake host has to waste time with a useless underling taking up time with crap talk. Quit the crap! Rush needs no one to make his show—just what he always says. If you cannot make it on your own, get off the air. LA stations, are you listening? Screw you Handel, McIntyre and your two buffoons by your side, and that clown Witman with all the voices on the other channel. Can’t handle it alone? Get out of town. FU all.

In this atmosphere, if the white quarterbacks don’t find a reason to leave, they’re not being prudent.

President Trump is the antidote to the Abilene paradox. He stands alone on a stage and voices his convictions knowing full well he will be accused of all manner of calumny. He shocks his listeners into acknowledging their own cowardice in the face of expressing their convictions.
The hero is the one who suffers the slings and arrows of progressive slander and soldiers on despite his wounds. It is called war and only soldiers imbued with the courage of their convictions are capable of engaging in it.
Remember, Trump did not avoid the draft. His number never came up. There can be no question but that Trump would have made an exemplary soldier.

You, Fungi would be a good guest on that show.
Sometimes they need someone quick, articulate and updated on the topic to get down to business and cut through the silliness.
They would prefer to have a slightly p/o , exasperated guest
than someone who writes great books or movie scripts, but tends to give one word answers, is flat in tone and not at all spontaneous.
Sometimes I’m in the other mood, where I laugh with them at life’s absurdities.
