The QB of the Oakland Raiders was injured in a sack yesterday. Taken to the locker room. Wasn’t their line accused of not protecting him last week because he did not kneel?
The Eagle played an away game against the LA Chargers and more fans were rooting for them than the Chargers. There were audible boos when a call went against the visiting team. Announcers said they have NEVER seen it happen before.”
The fans in the stands are rumbling.
and get this, a black, replacement QB (EJ Manuel) comes into the game for the Raiders and proceeds to complete pass after pass while enjoying pretty good protection from that same O-Line.
It's the result of the fact that Carr isn't the most mobile of quarterbacks and the Oakland offensive line kind of sucks. The evidence supporting that is Marshawn Lynch, who was sitting with the best of them, gained 12 yards yesterday and I think 6 yards last week. Oakland just isn't a very good team, and I'm amazed how they continue to fool people year after year into thinking that they are.

Eagles fans will, and have, boo Santa Clause. The Chargers stadium is empty of local fans because the team went out of its way to alienate their San Diego supporters and the good people of Los Angeles could not care less about them.

I’ve seen it many times. The Chargers have had massive visiting team crowds when still in San Diego, particularly when the Steelers came to town. Raider fans always show up in large numbers as well.
The Chargers are going to have an even worse situation in LA, no doubt...
We have learned A LOT about the NFL over the past months and days.
Its clear the owners are 32 billionaires who think they are gods. Their management are a bunch of politically-connected, out-of-touch crony-capitalists who are mainstream media, left-wing groupthink swamp creatures.
Abandoning a 60 year home like San Diego for the promise of a government funded stadium in LA is the height of crony-capitalism and a serious branding mistake.
The NFL allowed Kaepernick a stage for almost 2 years, probable hoping it would just go away.
With a couple tweets, Trump ripped the lid off this ridiculous organization.
The Chargers situation is a little different than the NFL as a whole. They moved to a city that didn’t want them and had zero interest in them, to a 27000 seat stadium. When they play games, it is very easy for an opponent’s fans to get more tickets than Chargers fans, because there are none up there, and any who still care about them in San Diego won’t travel up there. They probably have about 5-10,000 people coming to see them as fans and the rest are buying tickets from brokers to see the team from their original home town.
