Wife of NFL Player Alleges Raiders Didn’t Block for Derek Carr Because He Opposed Anthem Protests
Breitbart ^ | 11/07/2017 | Dylan Gwinn

We normally don’t indulge in conspiracy theories, however, as far as conspiracy theories go, this one’s a little too juicy to just ignore.

Miko Grimes, wife of NFL cornerback Brent Grimes, recently appeared on Revolt TV. During that appearance, she shared a story about how the Oakland Raiders offensive line deliberately allowed quarterback Derek Carr to get hit, and eventually injured, during their Week 3 match-up against the Washington Redskins.

If you recall, Week 3 came right after President Trump called NFL protesters out at a rally in Alabama. Over 300 NFL players, coaches, and owners, protested in some form or fashion. According to Grimes, the Raiders offensive line, the only all-black offensive line in the NFL, took exception to Carr (who is white) saying that they shouldn’t kneel in protest.

An argument ensued, and, according to Grimes, the offensive line decided to abandon Carr to the Redskins pass rush.

“A lot of people don’t know, but the reason Derek Carr got injured was because the Raiders offensive line allowed him to get injured,” Miko explained as she launched into her story.

This is the play in question where Carr hurt his back.

NFL players throwing games, not even for money, but for politics.

More of what Goodell has wrought.

Yup. I feel for Derek Carr. Time to pretend injury and not play for those animals, and ask for a trade.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was standing – and praying.

So much for being part of a “team”.

I can see a lot of law suits coming from this.

As well, if I were Carr, I couldn’t play for the Raiders again.

Exactly what many (except for a few diehard fanboys and Kneegro sympathizers) suspected when it happened......

The week KC played the Raiders, I told my husband that it looked as though the Raider offensive line was letting their QB take an inordinate amount of hits. My question was are they really that bad, or is it on purpose? Now his wife says they are. That’s really awful if true.

I remember similar conspiracy against a white OU QB back in the mid 70s. Kelly somebody Maybe you Sooner fans out there can help out) was competing against black Thomas Lott

Probably 1976 or 77
