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.

Do you think the multi-millionaire divas care about any games? Their SJW activities ‘trump’ EVERYTHING. Just like the Party of their loyalties. Politics ‘trumps’ EVERYTHING. ‘The issue is never the issue, the issue is THE REVOLUTION’.

...intentionally losing might cost the Raiders even the chance of making it to the playoffs.

Except that we've heard an awful lot (over the last several years) that sports is "just a business." Players jump ship because "it's just a business." They don't care if they make it to the playoffs or not--they get paid anyway.

I agree that it seems dis-congruent that any group of pros would go against their $$$ interests.

Personally, that is why I prefer the NCAA to the NFL. NFL players are totally passionless unless they see some money to be made.

If this story is true, then there are adult, professional athletes out there who are so bat#%&+ crazy over this kneel/stand thing that they are willing to nuke their own careers...and that is troubling.

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.
