UA-59049186-1 Marshawn Lynch is Public Enemy Number 1 - Good if it Goes

Marshawn Lynch is Public Enemy Number 1

First foremost let’s get one thing straight, I AM SO SICK OF THIS GUY’S ANTICS! Here’s a guy who shows up to work, does his job extremely well, and then doesn’t make himself out to be a distraction. How dare he not talk to the media in post-game interviews? Marshawn Lynch is nothing but a classless thug and he deserves his comeuppance! This thug not only ignores the media (whose honest reporting we all know and love), but he’s from the hood! A hood that he still frequents! Here’s a clip of him and Richard Sherman (another classless thug with a degree from Stanford University) talking about fabled and notorious drug dealer Nino Brown.

These are not the type of guys I would want my kids (If I had any) looking up to. What Black America needs, comes in the form of braggadocio stars. Stars that flaunt their money, houses, and cars so we can be enamored with their lavish living and brand them as “Superhero’s”. That’s more of what Black America needs as positive role models in the professional sports world. With the recent happenings across the United States with racial tensions rising, you would think these black athletes would learn to comply with commands from those in charge. It’s simple, the press asks a question and you answer.

If you haven’t noticed the irony in this piece yet, then here is what I am trying to spell out for you. The word “Thug” is often thrown out when dealing with black athletes who aren’t overly complicit. These athletes are taught to sing and dance for people in the media, fans, and anyone else who needs to be entertained. In a piece I wrote last year (click here), about Richard Sherman being labeled a “Thug”, it really has dawned on me that fans will crucify you no matter what you do, because you are an athlete. The crucifixion is much more severe if you are African American.

I live in the city of Pittsburgh, and there are Steeler’s fans in every nook and cranny of this town. I check my Facebook feed to see their perspective on current events in the sports world. Often, it is sickening that they will berate and put down the athletes they don’t deem worthy of a fair chance, and continue to support some of the members of their own team. The level of judgment from cynical fans is laughable at times, but these judgments have an impact on how people are viewed. “Thug” has become the new nigger, and it will be accepted as a way to pass off the closet (and I use that term loosely) racism in America. I am the last person to pull the race card, but let’s look at the facts; Richard Sherman is a thug for talking too much and Marshawn is a thug for not talking at all. People fear what they don’t understand. “Well why isn’t he talking?” “He must have something to hide!” “Why can’t he just give them what they want, he gets paid millions of dollars and he should just give them interviews!” One reason why athletes may not trust the media may derive from statements like this: demarcus-cousins

 

Why would any athlete grant you access into their personal life, or even how they play if you have no moral integrity for the profession you chose?  If your judgments of people will be shared to strangers on social media so you can garner the attention you need for your think pieces, why be upset when you are shunned by these same athletes?  Super Bowl Media Week has become much more interesting than in recent memory, due to the fact that Marshawn isn’t speaking, .  Normally, we get the customary, “They’re a difficult opponent, and we’ve prepared…” blah blah blah.  This media week has been interesting because it is all about being focused for the game.  Make no bones about it, Marshawn Lynch is “Just bout that action boss”, and he proves it every Sunday by showing up in “Beast Mode”.  This Sunday I am rooting for the Patriots, but thanks to the media’s prying and prodding, I learned about the charity work Marshawn does, how much he gives back to the community, and just how much he cares about his hometown.  With that being said, he just gained a lifelong fan.
