I don't know football well enough to intelligently comment on Miko's statement, so ....

Here's the video

There was some discussion on the internet that a Raider lineman was overheard saying this after the Washington game. They lost but were expected to win. There was a lot of sacks and pressure during that game, where previously the Raiders had good protection. It quickly was hushed up. The liberal sports pages are making fun of her. Who knows?

This was discussed on FS1. The white guys said that how could she say such a thing. The brothers said Ah ,we’re not so sure about this.

The role of white guys on sports gab fests is to virtue signal from the bent-over position.....

“Raiders, Derek Carr dispute NFL wife’s claim that anthem protest clash led to injury”

Sure he would...Once you find a horse's head under your bed covers, you toe the line.

If true, it wouldn’t be surprising.

I think most of us anticipated this would happen. No surprise.

Many NFL teams are undoubtedly fighting among themselves politically and verbally in their locker rooms and elsewhere behind the scenes.

This will only worsen during a game, i.e.....the kneelers not defending the anti-kneelers on their own teams......and also roughing the anti-kneelers on the opposition team.

So while it appears to be one team playing normal football against another team on a sunny fall afternoon, there's actually several more ideological wars being waged surreptiously on the field if these reports are correct.

The racist activist thugs in the NFL will have all the teams torn apart within a month...and the fans will REALLY tune out at that time if this political madness continues.

The whole time she was telling that story I wanted to slap her. You could tell she was loving it.

“[Carr] was against [the offensive line] protesting. And they had a fight in the locker room before that Monday night game with the Redskins,” she said in a “Breakfast Club” appearance. “They were fighting in the locker room, and that’s the only all-black offensive line in the NFL is the Raiders.

“Derek Carr is a Bible thumper to the fullest. And so he was basically trying to force the players to read the Bible before the game, and do all this stuff, and they were like, ‘No, that’s you.’ And so he was so upset about it, when the whole offensive line said they were going to kneel, he was like, ‘No, you’re not kneeling. This is America, you’re going to stand for the flag.’ And they got in a fight in the locker room, so when they came out to play, they basically had a plan.”

You’re right, the idiot didn’t do anything. He never blocked the opposing player!

Keep your eye on #73.

He initially blocked and then it looks like he released from the block and was pulling to block for a screen pass that never happened - another lineman was over there as well. I see nothing strange on that play. Carr basically held the ball too long.

“Raiders’ Derek Carr prays while teammates protest, but says ‘we were together’”

While apparently one his linemen said “He wants to stand alone, he can stand alone on the field,”

Couple the sacks with several bad snaps...

This radio show goes back to shortly after the Week 3 game where this happened, so this is not a new suspicion by any means.

"Derek Carr is a Bible thumper to the fullest. And so he was basically trying to force the players to read the Bible before the game, and do all this stuff, and they were like, ‘No, that’s you.’ And so he was so upset about it,"

So he tried to get them to follow his views and they didn't.

when the whole offensive line said they were going to kneel, he was like, ‘No, you’re not kneeling.

And then they wanted him to follow their views and he didn't. Their response? Don't block for him, get him hurt.

They are no better than the idiots who "celebrated" the anniversary of Trump's election by shouting pointlessly at the sky.

Look at #72 and #73 standing there doing nothing, like they’re basketball players or something. Not too hard to figure out that they threw that play.
