GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Raiders weren’t going to take any chances, so coach Jack Del Rio only used two offensive starters in Saturday night’s preseason-opening 20-10 loss to the Cardinals. Not only did quarterback Derek Carr, receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree and running back Marshawn Lynch sit this one out, but Lynch sat on the bench during the national anthem.....

He’s standing up to Godell, the new sheriff.
Good heavens. If the KKK wanted to come up with the most insulting photo of a black man that you’ve ever seen, it would look a lot like that. LMAO.
FUML
I would not touch that stereotype and the image it prints in a person’s mind for anything. That said, the example of Colin Kaepernick should be illuminating, as he is now a “free agent”, a status not often conferred upon young players in their first year or two. Translation - nobody dares hire him.
Stopped watching NFL closely years ago. Only tuned in for SB for probably the past 20 years. Pretty much done with them at this point. CFB is what I follow closest. They’ll head the same way eventually. Probably a good thing for multiple reasons.
The league office must be thrilled with this, especially after the ratings plummet last year. It’s become the #BLM league, in large part.
If Obama’s son played football...
He obviously wanted to make a statement, and succeeded. The only question is ‘what is he trying to say?’
Not taking time to watch NFL anymore. I’m sure all the SJWs will fill in the gap.
” I will enjoy another year without pro football”.
In reality, this is the only logical approach to address this nonsense, since the owners and league will not.
Anyone who does not show respect for the deaths that were given for their freedoms here in the UNITED STATES... put them on the next plane out of here and “do not come back”. This is not something negotiable ... the men who fought and died for their rights to be stupid... but it stops at the flag and the national anthem!! You either stand or get out!! You have no rights if you disregard the symbol of those men who gave the ultimate sacrifice!
LOL. Pre-concussed. I like it.
Explains Lynch’s IQ of 83.
Not that my one voice will make a difference to the NFL, but it looks like, again this year, I’ll not be watching professional Football. And, I really like the sport. I will not, however, condone, in any way shape of form, any disrespect for the country that makes their privileged lives possible.
Ain’t happenin’...
Just sayin’
Brandon Marshall took a knee during the anthem before the Broncos season opener last year. We turned it off and never watched a game last year (been fans for 30 some years). I called the Broncos office and asked if he was still on the roster, the gal said he was. Told her we won’t be watching this year either then. Bummer, like watching on Sunday afternoon.
GFTO of my country, over-paid sh!ta$$. Play foolsball in Red China.
He should just be ignored.
“be appropriate”
I, for one, am so sick and tired of the melanin-enriched being handed everything and then complaining about it that I no longer want to be “appropriate.”
Very unattractive photo of this hairy human sitting there,eating a banana, during our nation’s anthem. Glad he’s not in my family.
Marshawn LYNCH? LYNCH?
But, but, but..... how can he get away with that RACIST last name?
The NFL should ban him from football!
Yeah exactly. How many FReepers are still giving money to anti-American professional sports?
