Shock Report: NFL’s Oakland Raiders Threw Game After White QB Refused To Kneel For National Anthem

This report was originally published by Alex Thomas at The Daily Sheeple

A new report from The Armstrong and Getty Radio Show has sent shockwaves throughout the sports world after it was claimed 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 political statement.


“He wants to stand alone, he can stand alone on the field,” one of the teams offensive lineman said, according to the shows source. Keep in mind, the offensive line are literally the guys whose job it is to protect the quarterback, in this case the star player who didn’t kneel.


Amazingly, the circumstantial (and possible direct) proof didn’t end there as the show then claimed that this same source also revealed that a local team reporter got wind of the story and asked a team official for comment. What he was apparently told in response has all the hallmarks of a team trying to cover up a major scandal.


“If you report on this, you will be blackballed, you will not get access to the Raiders period,” the reporter was supposedly told. “Your career covering the team will be over”.


While there are obviously major legal and ethical issues if this is true, it also paints a sad picture of a football league divided by a political and media establishment all too happy to cause as much racial divide in the country as possible. For as long as Americans focus on differences between each other, the global elites power remains completely unthreatened.

Author’s Note: Its also important to consider that there is almost no chance that any member of the Raiders organization, whether coaches, the front office, or players (especially Carr himself) will publicly admit that this happened if it is indeed true. The sheer amount of mayhem it would cause is enough to keep almost anyone quiet. Anonymous player quotes and sources may be all we will ever have to go on.

"Sunday Night Football" Ratings Slide Following Day Of Player Protests

As it turns out, President Donald Trump may have been on to something when he said NFL players were turning off viewers by kneeling during the National Anthem. As Deadline reports, both the NBC and NFL took a hit during Sunday Night Football last night when ratings dropped, as some Americans appeared to heed Trump’s call to boycott the NFL unless owners agree to fire or suspend players who don’t stand during the anthem.


In metered market numbers, the primetime match-up between the 27-10 winning Washington Redskins and the Oakland Raiders snared an 11.6/20. That’s the worst rating for SNF so far this season, marking an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s Atlanta Falcon’s 34-23 win over the Green Bay Packers, and a 10% dip from the same week last year.



The Redskins linked arms last night, while nearly every single Raiders player sat on the bench during the anthem, Deadline says.


Here are the top markets for last night’s SNF:


D.C.- 23.3/40


Richmond – 22.1/33


Norfolk – 19.8/31


Sacramento – 17.5/32


S.F./Oakland – 17.2/35


New Orleans – 17.2/24


Denver – 16.2/27


Buffalo- 15.4/24


Kansas City – 14.8/24


Las Vegas – 14.5/23


However, not every network saw a ratings dip. Bloomberg reports that CBS, whose Sunday night games included a closely fought matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Bengals, experienced a small ratings bump, probably because the close score drew in more viewers. Fox hasn’t yet released viewership numbers for its NFL games on Sunday. Overnight ratings are subject to change when final numbers are released later Monday. The New York Times and other mainstream media had discounted Trump"s claim, tweeted over the weekend, that the NFL"s ratings had suffered because of the protests, despite a survey showing that many fans reported tuning out last year because of the protests.


Trump criticized the NFL Friday night during a rally in Alabama, where he called players who kneel for the anthem "a son of a b***H" and said any team owner who fired or suspended the protesting players would become "the most popular person in the country - at least for a week." His comments drew rebukes from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, as well as Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former Buffalo Bills and New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan.


The trend of kneeling for the anthem started last year when no- unemployed quarterback and then San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick refused to stand, saying he refused to honor the US because of institutionalized racism. Since then, a number of NFL players have publicly protested police brutality and racial injustice by not standing for the National Anthem.
