League Not Sure What To Do About Marshawn Lynch

[obarth]

Why the fukk would you want to even talk to an athlete after a game you just watched? at the press conference they tell you about injuries what else is there to wonder about

How else do you manufacture "distractions" and talking points in general without player interviews?

 

[无名的]

If I never heard one athlete do another interview, I would not give one fukk. The questions asked are almost always stupid. The answers are almost always obvious. Does the NFL care because it hurts the pocket of the media or do they actually think fans want this shyt?

 

[Thizzlam]

These owners are some sensitives hoes.

 

[BlackAchilles]

They rip you for what you say, they rip you if you don't say anything.

Yeah cause we really need that "both teams played hard" soundbite every fukkin week

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

this is so ridiculous. let that man live. NFL wants him to talk to media, now that he does they don't like exactly what he is saying. If he gets penalized still even though hes talking then that is fukking rdiciulous

 

[andre patton]

I get why the NFL wants players to talk. Reports need quotes for their articles. Media coverage increases interest in the League. When is the last time we've had a superbowl that didnt have some media created narrative behind it?

I get why most NFL players want to talk to the media. Puts their name in the paper, builds their image, makes them a household name, increases their endorsements. But if a player doesnt want all that, then he shouldnt be forced to talk to the media.

 

[I.V.]

It is a tough argument to make, because he is contractually obligated to make himself available to the reporters.

But, the definition of 'available' is up for argument.

I'd like to see him answer every question with a question.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Why can't they just let that brother be? He ain't bothering anyone. shyt.

 

[MJ Freedom]

What if a player had an extreme case of anxiety,shyness or public speaking? Would the league ignore his disease and force them to talk to the media?

They did it to Ricky Williams.

 

[jaydolf spitler]

For every post game interview he doesn't cooperate with he made a shyt ton more money playing in the game, from bonuses, endorsements, etc. Don't see him giving a fukk anytime soon unless they try to take heavier action

 

[JBoy]

good for Lynch, fukk 90% of the sports media out here

[Supercoolmayo]

So...I guess I'll be the one to ask. Why doesn't he just answer their questions? Isn't that part of his job? What if every athlete was Marshaen Lynch? You dudes wouldn't have any role models

What the fukk did this come from?

You think black people's rolemodels are only athletes

 

[nineteeneightysix]

I don't get why reporters just don't leave him alone...

Gossipers ALWAYS need a story...

When it is a livelihood, it is even worse..

They ignore concussions. You think they give a shyt about mental illness?
