Marshawn Lynch is thankful

[HawkMeat]

Media knows what they're doing, they know what they're gonna get. Its become a schtick thing for them.

exactly. They even ask him the same routine questions like "what we're you listening to before the game?"
the Media have come out looking like bullies.

Part of me thinks this is hilarious and part of me thinks he's just being a douche. .

What a horrible thing to say. You may have no trouble showing disrespect for another person and what they personally stand for, but not everyone wants their private thoughts broadcast all over the world. If you've had your words printed and taken out of context, which can be embarrassing, you might understand. When you hear the sportscasters disrespect Lynch for not spilling his soul to them every week, you're hearing it from the point of view of someone who has very few scruples and are willing to bare their own soul for everyone to see.

No, Lynch doesn't owe YOU anything. He gave you his talent out on the field.

He does actually in fact owe the media something. He signed a contract agreeing to do them and. Nobody forced him to sign it and get into a line of work that requires him to speak in public.

Once again, you are completely wrong about something. He's required to make himself available to the media, that's it. He's under no obligation regarding what answers he gives them to their questions.

If it is in the contract that he must speak to media bullies, then they need to remove that clause from Marshawn's contract. Or at least limit the amount of contact the press has with him.
I also believe it should be up to the coaches to determine who has to speak and when. If a player is having a particularly bad day, are in a lot of pain, concussed or just not wanting to be open to talking, then the coaches should have the right to run interference. How many other running backs are interviewed after every single game?
When the media crews are hackling like witches at the thought of interviewing Marshawn, then it is time to put a stop to the bullying.
We all have had jobs we don't want to do. We tend to delay them until we are in a better mindset. Or pass them off to someone else.
I do believe Marshawn has an issue, he may be having panic attacks. Saying he talked to the media just fine at any given point doesn't mean he isn't having a problem now.
And the pressure they are putting on him, could start to affect his game.
The only media personnal that are still bothering him are the no talents. They need to find another job.

I wonder how many times you have read every word of every contract you sign for anything that you buy, use, or live in? Or did you even read the acknowledgement of becoming a member of this board and the faqs and rules contained within?

Being available is one thing, speaking and being amiable is another. It's more a NFL thing as being a member of the league and supporting the Shield, not his player contract.
