Is there nothing the racists won’t do to move forward identity politics and their victimhood? They are useful idiots for the globalist communists.

“Fans can’t trust the players anymore.”

I wasn’t thinking about the fans. I was thinking about the bookies. And these guys are moving to Vegas.

I don’t know a thing about football, and I don’t see any connection between the anthem protest and throwing a game. Could someone please explain?

It actually doesn't even matter if it's true or not. The mere suggestion of such a thing -- from two guys in the media who are citing a source who attributes this directly to one of the players involved -- is enough to destroy not just the NFL but a number of related industries as well.

Here's how crazy this is:

The NFL is almost in a position where they are forced to act as if this is true, and treat everyone involved in the situation accordingly, even if they are sure it's NOT true. This may be the only course of action that can potentially restore any confidence among spectators and outside business interests that NFL football is truly competitive anymore.

I would not be surprised if state prosecutors all over the U.S. -- and particularly in Nevada and New York -- are already taking a close look at this story.

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.

Remember The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds?

The line let the defensive linemen through to pile on the quarterback.

The allegation here is players dropped balls and didn’t block so the “racist” non kneeling quarterback would look bad and/or get injured.

Fake Football League

Man, if this story is true, even if it smells like it's true, I see a tweet from DJT in the near future using "Fake Football League"...it will be devastating.

Agree 100%. But, if true and players aren’t banned for life, then the NFL is done.

How will Vegas deal with this?

How will gamblers deal with it? What's the point of betting on an NFL game when that's no different from betting on professional wrestling? This could make the gambling audience disappear too, along with patriotic Americans.

Just what I was thinking. It was hilarious when he nailed the referee that was making bad calls, on two consecutive plays. LOL.

The only way I’d watch NFL games now is if the players went on strike and were replaced by those who actually play the game and avoid social-justice bullsh*t.

Hard to prove but plausible. Underscores the disruption and division within the NFL. Would not be surprised to see Villanueva targeted for a cheap shot intended to injure.
