The sense of entitlement from the media is laughable. Nobody owes them a damn thing.
Then you have this goober.

Marshawn Lynch's tired sphinx act masks the hard truth that without the media NFL players would be playing in a parking lot for $8 an hour

Don’t let your kids eat them anymore. Forget about handing out those small packets for Halloween.
Skittles should be considered poison to any sports journalist who asks for respect in dealing with athletes.

Agreed.

I love it. The sports radio guys here in KC have screeched against him until their lungs are sore.
Funny to see the media get all huffy up on their high horse.

It's hilarious that the silent treatment works on grown men. Lynch is acting this way (at least in part) for the attention. The media is giving him and his sponsor exactly what they want

I think it's ridiculous that players are REQUIRED to speak to the media. Or they get fined. Should be optional. Some people just aren't comfortable with 7,8 mikes shoved in your face...some have a fear of public speaking but it doesn't matter... the NFL requires you to speak regardless. And if you pull Marshawn Lynch antics you get the ire of the media. fricking bullcrap.

That's what gets me
The media members who act so terribly insulted (seriously, the morning radio guy said "I'm too old to have to interview a punk 20-something kid who's this disrespectful" 
), when the story surrounding it is giving all involved MORE attention than your standard SB media frenzy. The whole "controversy" is so dumb.

I don't really agree with you here. Nobody is forcing him to play football. It's their rules.

But like many of the NFL rules they're pretty stupid

it's a dumb rule, IMO.
They're paid to play football. I could talk to the throngs of media all day, and do it well but I can't cover ODB or run like Lynch.
I get a kick out of the media getting so pissy about this though.

I find it funny that everyone is so pissed off about it.

These media chodes are pathetic. They sound like band members at sporting events who say..."without the band, it would just be another game". This whole thing has caused me to like Lynch a lot more.
The media, along with lawyers, have become somewhat of a scourge on this country. fricking clowns.

For sure. These past couple of weeks have been insufferable in sports media due to this and the deflated balls mess. I don't think the majority of sports fans give a shite about either, but they've been cramming down our throats.
And the Lynch thing this week is just insane. Who really cares about all the dumb cliches the players are going to use leading up to the Super Bowl? Post-game interviews I can kind of see the media's point, but you know what, just don't interview him. There are 50 other people in the locker room to interview.

I saw the skittles thing what a dork!
Wasn't General Grant quoted as saying: If I lined up all the reporters and shot them their would be news from hell before morning.

I may be alone here but I side with the media. Not the point of them whining incessantly about it, but I see them as having a legit complaint.
Here's my analogy to explain why: let's suppose you're an engineer for a defense contractor, and you're one of the most brilliant engineers in the company. In addition to your brilliant engineering, part of your job is to regularly interface with the customer to tell them high-level details about the project design so they can make plans, documents, etc, but this customer is so big that you can't possibly interface with them directly, so they hired a sub for you to interface with and the sub in turn processes your info into a format the customer can use.
Well, Lynch is basically the brilliant engineer telling the sub (media) to go frick themselves, he was hired to do engineering work, not talk with a lowly subcontractor about his work.
Now I'm an engineer, and I can tell you right now that doing that shite will get me a permanent fine - AKA pink slip - I don't care how brilliant of an engineer I am, so Lynch should consider his arse lucky that he can get away with that shite with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
Now it may be the case that the customer (viewers) don't give a shite about getting the engineer's info (player interviews) anymore, but that isn't for the engineer (player) to decide.

There's always going to be players who will love the spotlight, love having that kind of outlet to connect and share opinions regarding their job of being a professional football player. I just think that should be an optional amendment however for players. The coaching staff should be required though, obviously.

Lynch is being a baby about the whole thing. He needs to grow up.

I don't know where to begin, but this isn't the same thing or even close.
The media is not your fanbase. The media does not represent your fanbase. Your fanbase cares 99% about your actions on the field, which do not require media interaction.

ML is a fkn stupid dumb arse entitled idiot. Don't get me wrong I also think that the media is a bunch of stupid fkn dumb arse entitled idiots too. But, he has this opportunity on one of the biggest stages one could possibly with the all of the media with a microphone in his face to see what he has to say to say something that could to make a difference. Get the word out about his work in Oakland. Tell his story on how he was able to get out of the projects, become a roll model for all of those kids he's trying to help back in Oakland. Instead he acts like a spoiled brat and throws away his opportunity to help others. Fkn idiot.

You see a lot of fans out there filming Super Bowl practices?

Journalists have the worst kind of God complex because they think their opinion actually matters
