I just read that online and i think its very possible on the offensive side at least. All 5 off. line starters are black and played horrible despite being one of the best O lines in the league.
The raiders have the most black players of any team in the NFL and the only team that started every game last year with all black starters on off. and def. (except Carr of course) and live in a city with very few whites anymore and know there will be little to no backlash there and from what i saw every black player on the raiders sideline on sunday night knelt compared to around 10-50% of blacks on other teams and make no mistake...this is a RACIAL THING (+ this...well we can talk forever about that) with a few white players offering token support (other than a linking of arms that was a TEAM dec. around the league and players had no choice) so not to lose their black teammates (coaches, owners + commish included)
The only White player i saw kneeling in the whole league last week was Travis Kelsey of the chiefs.
Maybe not thrown but demor. that their loved and he is loved QB (up to now anyway) by his black teammates did not follow them in this league killing practice.
Watch the TV ratings after this week and going forward...15% min. drop i am sure and ticket sales for this week are already down according to ticket brokers and that will continue also and this story from a so called reliable source on the raiders themselves will only make things worse.
I say it had an large effect on the team......esp. the off. but stop just short of saying they threw the game.

I have been a Raiders fan for 51 years. Through thick and thin years. Last week I was ashamed to be a Raiders fan. A very mediocre Washington defense held them to 0 for 11 on third down. 3 plays in a row the line stood up stepped back and allowed Carr to get pummeled. The line has been credited as being one of the best in the NFL til last week. NFL little different than NBA with only 16 games players generally show up to play every week. I will be betting against the Raiders til they show some class. Dropped balls everywhere and no running game will kill their season. Beast Mode making a statement dividing the team.
