Beast Mode 2.0 Marshawn Lynch returns to Seattle

"That motherfucker [Trump] says alot of shit," Marshawn Lynch

Marshawn Lynch signed a contract to play the final 2019 regular season game and the playoffswith the Seahawks. The Seahawks top running backs Rashaad Penny, C.J. Prosise, and Chris Carson are suffered serious season-ending injuries.

Marshawn Lynch should be an All-Time NFL Legend and considered the 21st Century Earl Campbell. Lynch is one of 31 running backs to amass over 10,000 rushing yards and from 2011-2014 with the Seahawks Lynch was the most dominant running back in Football (not named Adrian Peterson). Lynch was also a key member of the Seahawks Super Bowl winning team in 2013 and 2014 but, that's when politics enters...

During the prime of his career, Lynch was known for not being media friendly; so much so he refused to comply with NFL directives that a player make himself available for media or during any scheduled press conferences. This put as big target on Lynch as media personalities complained endlessly about Lynch. The NFL demands it's black players shuck and jive on command and therefore the NFL repeatedly fined Lynch.

Lynch like several of the Seahawks players stuck to his convictions and in doing so outside forces determined to make sure Lynch knew his place. The 2014 Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks should have been a Seahawks victory, but Pete Carroll and possibly other forces decided they weren't going to allow Lynch to be the MVP. As the game wound down, Lynch already had a 100+ yard rushing performance and a touchdown. On the final drive Seattle marched down to the 1 yard line and with 26 seconds left, Carroll decided to outsmart Bill Belichick by throwing a short pass for the win. The pass was prompted intercepted. The Patriots Won thus burnishing the grotesque legend of Touchdown Tom Brady and the Seahawks haven't gotten close to returning to the Super Bowl since.

Perhaps, you'll say it was merely hubris or the tendency some NFL Coaches have of getting too cute or out-thinking themselves with their play-calling ala Tony Dungy's decision to kick the ball to Devin Hester in XLI Super Bowl despite game planning for two weeks to not kick it to Hester.

But, in reality Lynch had just plowed down to the 1 on the previous play. Beast Mode was the dominant RB in the game and the smart and expected play would have been to feed it to Lynch again. But... that would have meant Lynch would have scored the winning touchdown, in the Super Bowl. That's an MVP performance. No way did the NFL or the media want a known malcontent thinking he didn't have to hop to when told or dance on command in front of the lights.

Here's 670 The Score Personality Hub Arkush angrily demanding Lynch 'follow the rules',

The NFL has a rule that requires all players to make themselves available to the media and offer some level of cooperation.

Lynch has been fined multiple times for refusing to abide by the rule, but has tried to avoid additional fines by showing up for five minutes or less and then refusing to cooperate with the media at last year’s Super Bowl and again this year.

The NFL allowed him to get away with it last year and is apparently preparing to reward him for flipping us all – the league, the media and the fans – off again this year.

Shame on Lynch and the NFL, but what are you going to do?

AS illustrated by Arkush above, The You Dance when we tell you to Dance / You Stand when we tell you to Stand has been in effect long before the NFL assassinated Colin Kaepernick's career.
