The only reason I find this story not credible is the OaklandSoon to be LV Raiders are a Super Bowl contender. With only 16 regular season games throwing away 1 game is cutting off ones nose. Also, Da Raiders play in a competitive conference with the Denver Broncos and KC Chiefs so intentionally losing might cost the Raiders even the chance of making it to the playoffs.

It's the same reason network news (CBS, ABC, NBC) don't change to a more down-the-middle or even right leaning news coverage even though there's an obvious giant ratings gain. To them, politics is more important than winning.

Being from the bay area, it’s in ny DNA to be a Raiders fan. I can always count on them to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory so I guess to just throw it wouldn’t surprise me.

Next Monday’s game will contribute much-needed “evidence” as to the veracity of this “scandal”...

It doesn't even matter whether or not it is true - the actions of the kneelers have made such an allegation highly plausible, when it would have been dismissed as absurd by everyone just two or three years ago.

No way! The NFL is a perfect, colorblind meritocracy! Isn’t it?

Derek Carr is an incredible young QB, who has the mental abilities and skills to beat the well coached and super fast defenses he plays against. His new contract made him the highest payed player in the NFL!

Derek Carr's $125 million extension makes him the highest-paid player in the NFL. Oakland’s franchise quarterback gets a nice pay raise.

Makes zero sense, even for low-IQ football players. They are all in it for the money.

If this be true,
nothing new.

We’ve always known
How far we’ve grown
from justice and virtue
in Our Treasured AMERICA.

The iceberg tip has led us to what is hidden below.
Perhaps it will assist those who are seeking their answer.

Hope it’s true - if all teams were to defy the anti-patriotic players, things would turn around fast.

Derek Carr is an unashamed practicing Christian, not unlike Tim Tebow.

He does not hide it from anyone, though he does not go out of his way to bring it up.

His days in the NFL are numbered. He already has two strikes against him and his “teammates” will ensure he suffers a career-ending injury.

They care far more about their worldview than they care about winning.

At this point I don’t even care if this is true or not but I would LOVE to see it proved true. “Can you say final nail in their coffin, boys and girls?”

Well, I for one totally believe that.

I was in Vegas last weekend. I had a rather large parlay riding on THAT ONE GAME. In the first two weeks of NFL football, the Raiders were the ONE TEAM I felt good about. They didn’t even show up.

It was a disgrace of a game.

I was 100% convince the game was “fixed”. I assumed, by the gambling houses, who know that many exotic bets (like mine) could be killed by controlling this one game. This new reason makes as much sense as any. NO WAY the Redskins should have been able to dominate the Raiders that way.

Because Carr is white also. That will teach him a thing or two. That’ll fix his wagon.
