Ben Shapiro calls this NFL player's shirt a ‘contribution to the 2020 Trump re-election fund'
2017-10-02
[Twitchy] Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch arrived at Sunday’s game wearing a shirt that reads "Everybody vs. Trump."
Well, you know what they say about home field advantage, right Mr. Lynch?

#10  The Oakland Raiders is the only NFL lineup made up entirely of African-American players


Apparently you need a better TV, info sources, or prescription. Derek Carr is as white as me

#9  Dunno if it's fair to say Raiders O line threw the game, more likely they are distracted by all the political bull crap. At least that's what I'd like to think.

At any rate, this does not bode well for a team that is looking to move from Oakland to Las Vegas. The Vegas high rollers who said they'd bankroll a new stadium might be having second thoughts.

#8  BTW, Raiders QB Derek Carr left the game early with a back injury.

2 weeks in a row.

From last week: REPORT: Raiders Threw Game Over Anthem
There’s a scandal brewing among last weekend’s game between the Raiders and the Redskins.

The Oakland Raiders is the only NFL lineup made up entirely of African-American players. During last week’s Raiders – Washington Redskins game, the offensive line of the team decided to sit out the national anthem, but not everyone.

Quarterback Derek Carr stood for the anthem. But his offensive line – which protects the quarterback – decided to sit out the anthem.

“So Derek Carr, who is never sacked – was sacked four times by the Redskins, back to back on the second offensive series of the Raiders,” the host said.

#7  Should still be baseball season in Cleveland. In fact, I think they are the team to beat and will be watching them.

#6  Beast Mode failed on a fourth and one run yesterday. His last significant play was falling short of the goal line in Superbowl XLIX.

#4  Maybe Davis can find another team owner who is dumb enough to trade for Lynch.

#3  The next couple of games will determine that, Abu. Lynch retired at the end of the season in 2016, took a year off and then unretired. That's usually a huge uphill battle for NFL running backs past 30.

#2  In Sunday's loss to Denver, Lynch ran nine times for 12 yards averaging 1.3 yards per carry. For those of you who may not be familiar with NFL running back statistics, that's pathetic, especially for the guy who is supposed to be the star running back. If I was Raiders owner Mark Davis, I'd bench him at the very least, but probably just outright drop him from the team's roster. BTW, Raiders QB Derek Carr left the game early with a back injury. Well, I have to wonder if Lynch had at least been blocking the pass rush Carr's injury might have been avoided. Somebody needs to tell Lynch that if he wants to continue his NFL career he needs to get his head back into the game.

#1  Is it just my imagination, or are all conceivable things now subject to "Performance Art?"
