Raiders Staff Cover Marshawn Lynch As He Sits During the National Anthem
Breitbart ^ | October 1,2017 | DYLAN GWINN

Posted on 10/01/2017 6:37:19 PM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

They must think that we (once and former) NFL fans would never see through that one.

There is no forgiveness for dissing our Flag and National Anthem.

None.

At all.

Deceit in order to cover it up?

WORSE!

Are we sure he's not back there taking a dump on the flag?

Were his teammates huming the North Korean National Anthem while covering for this screw worm?

This is also causing a much deeper problem within the NFL.

Player vs player

Those that kneel and those that don’t

Internal team morale problems are popping up., and causing game performance problems.

Good job NFL! This could have been prevented if the NFL had any ba$!s. After Kapernadick first took a knee, they should have required all player to stand, helmet off, hand on heart.

The Steelers with one guy standing outside the tunnel as example.

Oakland Raiders front line player said about their white quarterback, “If he wants to stand alone (for the National Anthem), he can stand alone on the field.”

And then the all black Oakland Raiders front line proceeded to allow the white quarterback to get sacked (twice in a row during first real offensive series), drop hikes, drop passes, etc.

this ingrate weasel does not have the strength of character to realize that the great Civil War, which resulted in setting his ungrateful ignorant racist butt that he sits on, free from slavery ( which his own race captured and sold him into in Africa ) , Had the highest number of casualties of all wars since, over 350,000 white men fighting for the union died to set him free and that ceremony and flag he pisses on is a symbol of respect for those who died to allow him to entertain us.

He does not even realize he is a stupid lowly clown, he thinks he is important and that his useful idiot opinion matters

“Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr injured, leaves game in Denver”

“Black E.J Manuel replaces white Oakland Raiders quarterback, Derek Carr, after all-black Oakland Raiders front line lets defense through to injure Carr, because Carr would not take a knee.”
