Marshawn Lynch Calls Out Media In Epic Interview http://wp.me/p4pK1g-1IS

 

[iced]

people hate on him for this but i love it and think it's great... If I were a pro-player and the media had passed on some stupid reports that said "teammates don't feel my QB is black enough" I'd give them the same treatment.

Totally get why players are frustrated with the media

Not to mention the rules the NFL imposes on the players with the meia too

 

[rams1991]

Yeah, I thought it was great. Dude is real, cant deny that

Loved the way he just sat and stared at that guy at the end. It's brilliant how little of a fuck he gives about media perception. Russell Wilson and he are the only Seahawks I can even remotely stand.

 

[Angry Ram]

It would be hypocritical of me to hate on the guy for his viewpoints of those in the media when I continuously get on Bernie, Mike Florio, etc. for the same thing.

But he's handling this poorly, and IMO looks immature in doing so. Making snarky comments over random things just makes him more exposed to the exact thing he's trying to get away from. He doesn't like media, fine. I don't either. That doesn't mean you have to act like a child in the process. Be a humble man, say the right things and maybe, just maybe the media won't be able to find anything to twist.

"Shout out all my africans." Awesome.

 

[ChrisW]

"Shout out all my africans." Awesome.

Was going to say this too. Dude, you aren't African. You're American.

 

[RamsJunkie]

LMAO thats good stuff right there.

 

[V3]

"Shout out all my africans." Awesome.

How the hell is that awesome? That's fuckin racist and if a white guy said, "shout out to all my caucasians", there would be a major shit storm. And he's not African.

Sorry, I don't find this amusing. It's tantamount to a fucking 6 year old having a temper tantrum. He's paid millions of dollars to play a GAME and he can't even answer some basic questions. Fuckin grow up. Just one more reason I hate the Seahawks.

I guess if you want to find amusement in a person acting like a child, I can kind of understand why some would like this but I personally hate it.

 

[rams1991]

He probably legitimately thinks he's full-blown african

 

[rams1991]

How the hell is that awesome? That's freakin racist and if a white guy said, "shout out to all my caucasians", there would be a major crap storm. And he's not African.

Sorry, I don't find this amusing. It's tantamount to a freaking 6 year old having a temper tantrum. He's paid millions of dollars to play a GAME and he can't even answer some basic questions. freakin grow up. Just one more reason I hate the Seahawks.

Well said

 

[Angry Ram]

Was going to say this too. Dude, you aren't African. You're American.

Glad others think the same thing. Unless he was referring to people in Zimbabwe or people in the Masai tribe he may know of, it's just more immaturity.

 

[rams1991]

We're told he's actually intelligent, but is it possible that he doesn't open his mouth because he doesn't want to say something stupid?

 

[BigRamFan]

We're told he's actually intelligent, but is it possible that he doesn't open his mouth because he doesn't want to say something stupid?

Yeah? Who's saying that? Obviously I don't know the man but what I hear when he does open his mouth, including his exclusive interview with M. Robinson, says exactly the opposite.

 

[rams1991]

Yeah? Who's saying that? Obviously I don't know the man but what I hear when he does open his mouth, including his exclusive interview with M. Robinson, says exactly the opposite.

I don't agree that he's intelligent, but his teammates and some media members and former teachers of his say he's a bright guy that got good grades and all that crap. But who really knows.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Lynch is dumb. He is making himself look dumber by the minute. 'shout out to all my Africans'? WTF?

His union negotiated the mandatory press exposure. If Lynch doesn't like certain questions then he should show that he is an adult and knows how to handle, not answering them politely. I had a neighbor when I was a kid and his family loved him. From my side of the fence the guy was about the biggest douchebag I ever met. If Lynch wants to think that all that matters is what his family thinks then he shouldn't be working at a job that the public spotlight shines on him so brightly. His actions make it shine even more brightly.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Yeah i'm not so sure that it's the media that Marshawn hates.

 

[rams1991]

He's making a bunch of money on his beast mode products over this, that's for sure

He is required by contract to do certain things...He is OBLIGATED to do certain things...I'm not in the camp that says oh, he's such a cool free spirit...And all this started because he wasn't comfortable speaking in public... That may have been the case early on, at this point I call BULLSHIT...He plays the media just the way people say the media plays the players...My opinion (and only mine) is that he is a POS asshole...Great football player, sorry excuse for a responsible member of the NFL...

Perhaps you mean, "If a white guy said, 'shout out to all my Europeans'....."
Curious, why isn't what he said at the least a lil amusing? BTW, I think he meant Afro-Americans, but I could be wrong....And if a white guy said it, I wouldn't be upset at all...I mean, who cares?
