NFL’s Oakland Raiders Threw Game After White QB Refused to Kneel for National Anthem
The Daily Defender ^ | Sep 30, 2017

Posted on 10/01/2017 8:51:46 PM PDT by BAW

A new report from The Armstrong and Getty Radio Show has sent shockwaves throughout the sports world after it was revealed that members of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders may have purposefully allowed their star quarterback to get sacked multiple times after he refused to kneel during the National Anthem.

If true, this would essentially mean that an NFL football game was illegally thrown over anger that one of the teams star white players did not believe that kneeling during the nations anthem was the correct way to protest supposed racial injustice in America.

In other words, an epic level scandal.

During the anthem, virtually the entire team was seen kneeling other than the teams coaches and star quarterback Derek Carr. Unfortunately, this may have not set well with the teams offensive line as they were apparently the players who spearheaded the entire idea to kneel as a team in the first.

“This is one hell of a scandal with the NFL, could ruin the whole league,” claimed the show before detailing the fact that Carr was sacked two times in a row on the teams second drive and that the teams usually dependable center snapped the ball at the wrong time in three different instances. Extremely capable receivers also made multiple “weird” drops of passes thrown by Carr that T.V. announcers even noted at the time.

The radio show then revealed bombshell “insider information” from an “extremely reliable” source who claimed that members of the Oakland Raiders did indeed throw the game as a sort of punishment for Carr choosing to not use the countries anthem to make a leftist political statement.

“he ‘Whites’ may have joined the movement because they are so outnumbered on the field and easier to ‘fake’ it than risking injury because of ‘missed blocks’ or getting ‘piled on’ etc...”

If I had been the wife of one of these guys i would have advised him to make immediate plans to get out the day after NFL execs allowed Kaepernick to get away with disrespecting the flag

Monday morning. What are your new career plans? Now. This thing is over and gonna take a lot of people with it.

“I think President Donald Trump threw a certified hand grenade into the entire NFL owner, league management, player thug, ESPN, CBS, ABC, Disney, cable TV, NFL sponsor, pundit leftist cabal. if you own their stock, sell.”

Negative

That was Kaepernick. Not Trump.

this isn’t a matter of individual players making what they believe are strategic (meaning financial, in this case) choices.

That is what SENSIBLE people would do.

Some of these wives are just as egotistical as the players. Somewhat like Senior Officers wives (ANYWHERE/any job) tend to assume the husbands role when among the other wives.

They don’t want to miss out on all the fame and glory.

“Abilene Paradox”

Haven’t seen that one in a while but I used it in a graduate course on consulting techniques and processes over a decade ago. I think the video is hilarious because it makes people see human foibles played out only to realize they may have been part of that very thing at one time.

Sounds like complete and utter nonsense. If Carr is lost for any amount of time, the Raiders season is over - and they came into the season as strong contenders for the AFC title. No lineman is going to risk losing post-season money over some political nonsense, or risk losing his starting job once he's spotted giving up on his block in film reviews.

I have no idea what happened, and as you admit, neither do you...but to assume rationality on the part of NFL SJWs seems foolish at best.

It’s probably bull manure. The Raiders lost their last two games because they aren’t a very good team and they don’t have a very good game plan. Washington and Denver outplayed them at every phase.

To add to the story possibilities, Carr was injured in yesterday’s game versus Denver with an apparent back injury. If that was a continuation of the impact of the hits he took we won’t know for awhile.

One thing that works against this story is that EJ Manuel, the replacement yesterday, who is A-A, also experienced dropped passes that the announcers were wondering about. Sometimes an offense can implode without warning, like the Giants and Dolphins are experiencing right now.

I don't know how much to trust this source . . . but if this is true . . . BIG TROUBLE for the NFL.

Yep - when the Black racists won't play for a White Patriot, then the game falls apart - or hires more White patriots to play.....

If this is true, the infighting has already started.

Dems are happy about that.
All the black and white guys playing well together did not fit their agenda.

Go piss up a rope you dumb asses.

I played football from the ages of 8 to 18...I’m sorry, not ONCE would I have even thought of letting someone hurt my teammate no matter how I felt about them....I don’t believe this for one second.

The only source for this story is the radio show, all other reports are quoting that show.

Watch the highlights for yourself. Oakland supposedly had a superior O-line which turned in to jello on several plays. Carr, the QB, was sacked several times as his line just seemed to collapse. There were several poor snaps and several dropped passes.

Yesterday Carr was sacked and sent to the dressing room with a back injury. Go figure.

There are a few teams whose year is over because of this. Let's see how Oakland, New Orleans, New England, and Pittsburgh do for starters. All of these teams will underperform because team unity is gone and it will not come back this year.

This is a mess of the NFL's own making. They've sewn the wind, let them reap the whirlwind.

There were a lot of blacks who wanted to become wealthy NFL franchise owners when Obama was President, but nobody wanted to sell.

Don’t be surprised if this isn’t partly tied to that gang mentality. If they can’t have it legally, they’ll try to steal it or burn it down.

Well tickets are going to become a lot cheaper, so Dindus can afford them.....I think that’s one thing the NFL is really dreading.

You may be right.
I wish the owners would call their bluffs, the NFL needs a reset and these athletes would change their tunes if the checks stopped coming.

“Probably no way to prove it ... if the teams mates just agreed to do it about verbal discussions.”

A coach lives and dies by watching game film. He will be able to see it better than anyone. And if it is true, the Raiders should forfeit the remaining games this season and every player cut. In addition, all tickets should be honored and refunded. That’s before the fines kick in.

It was last week’s game... cost me a BUNCH of money.

This week, Carr was again sacked many times, and eventually left the game with an injury.

The backup Qb just happens to be... Black. Go figure.
