I don't really have a problem with Lynch not wanting to talk or the NFL wanting him to talk. I do think the media looks pretty pathetic and bitter on this issue.
But I think its important to note that Lynch does what he does and is a multi millionaire for it because pro football is so unbelievably popular and generates so much money. Will that change solely on whether or not he talks? Of course not, he's just 1 guy. But the industry of pro football is built on media exposure, and that does include players being visible in the media. That's why players are required to talk by the NFL. So I don't really have a problem if an NFL player making big money who knows the rules and willingly breaks them gets a big fine. There is a reasonable expectation that he will work within the system of his employer. In return, his employer has made him a very rich man.
