Are you sure they are not protecting him?

Television networks have gone to great lengths to conceal the ratings-killing anthem protests that are costing the league huge money in terms of viewership and attendance. However, it looks like NFL teams have also started trying to conceal the anthem protests. In one case, by literally covering a player up. The Raiders’ Marshawn Lynch arrived at the stadium, like a man wanting to be made the center of attention. Lynch showed up wearing a shirt that read, “Everybody vs Trump”:
However, when it came time for Lynch to do what he’s been doing since the preseason, which is protest the national anthem, the Raiders decided to turn Lynch into an NFL version of “Where is Waldo?” Lynch will be the guy on the left, the one literally swarmed by team staff:
So what gives? It’s probably too much to think the Raiders are ashamed of Lynch and his protest, though they should be. After all, he’s been protesting the anthem since the preseason and they’ve never done anything like this before. Did the team fear for his safety? Had someone made a credible threat against him?
The whole situation is very strange, and we’re not likely to have a full understanding until more information comes available. However, the irony of a guy wearing a shirt that claims the world is against President Trump, and then, getting the “Waldo” treatment in the corner, is quite rich.

I’d be ashamed also if I had a racist bigot on my team.
BINGO!
In fact, they made him so invisible that he only made 12 yards in 9 carries today. He virtually disappeared as a functioning member of the Raiders.
This whole shoddy theater is both amusing and annoying.
Are you sure they are not protecting him?
Fire the SOB.
How embarrassing for those guys. Having to protect that POS from the world.
I’m sure none of those guys is paid enough to protect him like that!
those six dudes don’t look happy doing what they’re doing.
Or am I reading into this something that isn’t there?
Holy Crap!
What a pussy!
Marshawn Lynch. Wimp of the year!!!!
NFL is going downhill ... now the sports channels are not going to televise the national anthem...they must know there are thousands of cel phones at the park.
You would think that Lynch would be a bit uncomfortable having nearly all of his protection be white males. I mean, isn’t that what the anthem protests are about?
No more NFL football, nor any ESPN, in my house. If there's some college game I want to see I'll walk down to the bar not far from my house.
Millions of stupid white people paying hundreds of black racists to act a fool on a playground. I’ll pass.
Maybe they’ll make him wear a bag over his head next week.
Cover up the kneelers all you want, NFL. It’s too late. We know how you feel and we’re disgusted by it.
Grown men... this is pathetic on so many levels.
They’re screening that AH.
Gezuz...Who’s filling those stands? A bunch of freaking leftist?
God bless the black coach in that picture with hand on heart.
The NFL has a major problem.
They have let these protestors become fireproof.
Wow.
The NFL must die now.
Mission accomplished.
