I'll give him a pass for not getting that 1 yard line carry in the superbowl.

[Cuse0323]

Disappointed as a Raiders fan, but fck it. Used to all the bullshit. I assume he's doing it because he thinks Kaep should have a job. They have 3/4 good backs outside of him. In case he wants to sit all year.

Was hoping they just kept Murray, but Lynch will be the short yard back for a year, then be out. Will hand it to him for the winning TD in the SB. Just need Penn to stop the holdout bullshit.

If he wants Kaepernick to have a job, maybe he should purchase an NFL franchise.

He can always toss him a fifth of his contract. More than Kaep is worth. Don't need this bullshit when finally the Raiders are SB contenders. Last year was brutal with Penn giving up on a block, and pop, the season is over.

Lynch wanted to go out in his hometown, and pulls this. We had plenty of options at RB, but those jersey sales are top notch. Three players in the top 10.

Gave the dude his retirement plan. Now this shit, and Penn is holding out. Good ole Raiders. Fck.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

he needs to be cut immediately

[tony_come]

He's still a role model

[Mr KLC]

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio addressed Lynch's decision to sit following his team's 20-10 loss to the Cardinals, adding he was unaware of Lynch's plans before the game.

"On Marshawn, talked to Marshawn trying to make sure we're on the same page," Del Rio said. "He said, 'This is something I've done for 11 years. It's not a form of anything other than me being myself.' I said, 'So you understand how I feel, I very strongly believe in standing for the national anthem. But I'm going to respect you as a man, you do your thing. We'll do ours.' It's a non-issue for me."

Del Rio told reporters he did not believe Lynch sitting would be a distraction.

Lynch's locker was cleared by the time the media was permitted in the postgame locker room Saturday night, per multiple reporters.

Lynch rarely talks to the media but has voiced his support for quarterback Colin Kaepernick's 2016 season-long decision to kneel during the anthem to draw attention to what he saw as incidents of police brutality against people of color.

Kaepernick remains an unsigned free agent.

Good for Lynch. Especially after three were killed by alt right hate groups that our con man in chief supports in VA. He is exercising his first Amendment right just like the Google engineer misogynist did who became the darling of the alt right.

[TheMoneyShot]

I just lost respect for Marshawn.

Will you just fukking stand for your country! god damn you all.

Two were killed in a chopper crash and it's unknown whether the car driver was a member of the alt-right.

Stars are aligned to take that Division so I agree they don't need anything to take the focus away.

What these idiots do not understand is that if it wasn't for the country they live in (their country) they wouldn't have those cars and houses that they show off all the time. Show some gratitude.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

I'd love to see a pole of NFL players that actually voted in the election....I'd bet under 20%

I dont think they are protesting the country itself. I don't expect you guys to understand.

understand what? I mean no disrespect Kid as we have met and broke bread together, but until these facts change, there's nothing for me to understand

Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks commit around half of homicides in the United States. DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, blacks committed 52% of homicides, compared to 45% of homicides committed by whites.

More up to date FBI statistics tell a similar story. In 2013, black criminals carried out 38% of murders, compared to 31.1% for whites, again despite the fact that there are five times more white people in the U.S.

From 2011 to 2013, 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black. This figure is three times higher than the 13% black population figure. When you account for the fact that black males aged 15-34, who account for around 3% of the population, are responsible for the vast majority of these crimes, the figures are even more staggering

between 1999 and 2011, 2,151 whites died as a result of being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks.


Despite being outnumbered by whites five to one, blacks commit eight times more crimes against whites than vice-versa, A black male is 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse. These figures also show that interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white.

Lynch elementary schools will lose the 'Lynch' due to racial implications (Portland Oregon)

The national movement to change racially offensive names of buildings, sports teams and landmarks will soon touch a group of schools in southeast Portland. Lynch Meadows, Lynch Wood and Lynch View elementary schools will shed their "Lynch" before the upcoming school year in response to growing concern about the word's racial connotations.

The schools, part of the Centennial School District, were named for the Lynch family, which donated land over a century ago to build the first of the schools. But Centennial Superintendent Paul Coakley says many newer families coming into the district associate the name with America's violent racial history.

its not all black and white pal. It all have to do with your socioeconomic class. It all about education and opportunities after education. A child born black white brown or yellow in a bad envitonment and no education will find it hard to succeed.

Who does the responsibility of the environment fall on though? Can't blame it on 'the country' since tons of money get poured into failing areas but they still fail. I hear the arguments all the time about tax base and flight but that is where rubber meets the road. You can't expect people to pick you up constantly and also stay around the failure when they get the chance to ease on out. Not you specifically but I mean general population whether it is Baltimore or Chicago to the poorer southern states or rural Oklahoma.
