@xbtcarat You can’t make the “whole life ahead of him” argument when the deceased much more literally had his whole life ahead of him.

Fernando Mendoza makes his first NFL start on Sunday, and a fan has asked everyone at Allegiant Stadium to stay in their seats when he scores.

The post went up Tuesday, the same day the Raiders made the quarterback change official, and it has been seen more than 730,000 times since.

"Stay seated when Fernando scores his first touchdown. Will be an epic gesture from fans to player. Pass it along."

The man who wrote it is Tom Joanides. Somebody replied underneath asking what the point of it was, which is a fair question if you do not know the family.

His father does not stand up. Fernando Mendoza Sr. stays in his seat when his son does something worth standing for, and he did it at the Peach Bowl last year, where somebody filmed it and it went around the internet. He did it at the Heisman ceremony. He did it in April. His wife Elsa has had multiple sclerosis for about 18 years and she watches from a wheelchair, so he sits.

It is not an accident either.

"Yeah, it's for sure a conscious effort."

Madison Williams of Sports Illustrated laid the whole thing out on draft night. Mendoza stayed home in Miami instead of going to the draft, and when the Raiders took him he went to his mother first, ahead of everybody, and his father leaned over and hugged him from the chair while the rest of the room was on its feet.

Elsa put a letter to her son in The Players' Tribune last December, thanking him for making her years with it easier than they would have been, and people keep coming back to one line in it.

"You've made me feel seen."

That is the thing a stadium is being asked to do on Sunday afternoon.

The football part is that on Tuesday the Raiders traded Kirk Cousins to Minnesota and handed the job to a rookie the same day, and general manager John Spytek picked his words carefully about it.

"I want to stop short of saying he's earned it."

Mendoza has been on an NFL field exactly once, late in a loss to New England in week 5, and he went 6 for 8 for 48 yards. Now Seattle comes to Las Vegas, and Seattle is the better team right now.

Joanides followed up a day later and tagged the MS Society.

"Fernando's dad stays seated to celebrate with Fernando's mom. I find it touching and cool."

Nobody official is behind any of this. The Raiders have not asked anyone for anything, a full stadium cannot really be organized from one phone, and plenty of people who saw the post have no idea why they are being asked to sit down. He also has to score first, which Seattle gets a say in.

But the idea is out there now, and it only works if enough people hear the reason before Sunday.

If he gets in, and the building stays down, his father will not be the only one sitting for once.

I’m so excited to share this update. Not only did @JoeAndreessen come to my friends house to support her daughter having brain surgery, but he had T-shirts made too of the drawing she made for him. Buffalo Joe is a class act. So dang awesome #BillsMafia

[Ohio’s Tate @OhioTate]

I said if Oregon beat Ohio State, I would eat 10 marshmallow Peeps for every point the Ducks scored

They scored 41 points

Here are Peeps number 408, 409, and 410 decorated and dedicated to the three men that made this happen

(and the 3 men who will be named in the lawsuit if I die)

Matt Patricia, Ryan Day, and Dan Lanning

Josh Allen and James Cook each reach 5,000 career rushing yards on the same drive. First QB-RB duo in NFL history to reach 5K as teammates in the same season.

How freaking cool.
