At least his take on Marshawn Lynch not talking to the media is some uncle tom shit. Larry Foote, who asked you nigga? Funny how any ole Jimbo player becomes a relevant voice whenever they express the side of the story that the media wants.

So they say "kids look up to him and he's behaving in a way that they can't emulate therefore he is using his platform incorrectly. He is teaching kids to challenge authority"

Word?

So, the media, through nfl policy, is your authority? He shouldn't be able to exercise his right to be fined for doing what he believes? The man who signs your check is your authority...

That's what they want to bring forth to the children.

Becuase what he is doing is unlikely to work in a real world setting then he should not do it.. does this apply to anyone who does things that are unlikely?

Everyone who is challenging any status quo should just stop, becuase if anyone decides they want to do what you are doing will probably fail at it..so stop. You are giving the wrong impression.

Marshawn Lynch is being the catalyst for young black kids to look at and continue to have a bad attitude toward authority.

Mike Brown must have been a Marshawn Lynch fan.

Are you more bothered by the "Tom" reference? Or the affect marshawn has on black youth? Please clarify.

I'm bother a bit by a Black man that wants to be respected as a professional, but continues to act like a teenager. No body make Marshawn sign that NFL team contract, but he did it know the full expectations that come with the job. However, once he signed his contract and gained some notoriety he's taken on a persona that is not professional and it does make other BLACK Athletes look bad. And if people want to argue against that perspective then they need to maintain that line of thinking on every front.

And please don't compaer Marshawn to Malcolm or Martin. There is not comparison.

Dude... the comparision was about balking the system. Sure, Marshawn signed an NFL contract. The rules state talk to the press or get fined, so he chooses the fine. I don't see the unprofessionalism that you speak of.

I am however, aware of the positive stuff he does in the community to help kinds and underprivledged. That I do know about. That is supposed to be what giving back is, right? To the people who matter and who benefit from his philanthropy... that is what a role model is, right?

I don't see him making folk, esp Black folk, look bad at all.
I wonder why Stephen A has so much to say in the negative about Marshawn and Josh Gordon but nearly cried a lung for jonny Manziel's rehab statement.

I think you have a negative viewpoint of Marshawn and thus anything that highlights the 'negative" you focus on. I base that on the statement above. You know me and know I value positivity. I was also a journalist in the service and I understand good journalism from sensationalism. Stepehn is more sensationalist and feigned outrage. I find it sad that he can't highlight the good things Marshawn does and seperate the media dude from the real dude.

He needs to do a much better job of that.

I don't really get this premise. It's like you are switching up speeds like Bruce Lee riding A Fugi in a movie. ...

You started off bashing him for lack of appearances and now you are talking about his brand...


Oh and for the talking head who doesn't care about his philanthropy (to which Case never really responded either) the kinds he helps cares and perhaps for Marshawn that's all that matters.

the NFL is the entertainment. the player works for the NFL but that does not make them entertainers. They are paid to play the sport before any other job responisbility.

I can't speak on Foster. I didn't know that he was being unprofessional and adverting his media obligations. If he is, the same applies.

What don't you get? Are you trying to act like his behavior is normal for business practices? And don't be extreme. Calling someones poor behavior to the carpet is not bashing anyone.

I never responded because his philanthropic efforts are not the topic. The topic is his actions as a paid can contractual NFL representative.

He's unprofessional period. Did you see the SB press conference?

But Like I said, Marshawn and every player in the NFL is obligate to present the brand in a positive light and to act as a professional - accordingly. And if it was not his job, then he wouldn't get fined for his behavior. Right or Wrong?

Why is he getting fined if speaking is not apart of the expectation and contract obligation?

Exactly. Look where his spirit is. He's trying to live up to that Matthew 25:31-46. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

YES.

No wonder no real response was forthcoming after this reply.

Just IMO though.

i get where you're coming from w/that but i won't agree w/the label.

however i do think Stephen is wrong about Lynch being a poor example for kids. especially since the majority of kids are far more likely to be influenced by adults and kids they actually know than they are by Lynch. so whatever his concern about Lynch's behavior w/the press - that concern should be alleviated by knowing that kids have coaches and mentors and parents who can guide them and advise them about how to handle themselves w/authority.

fuck you.

yea you might be right, however I feel like I kinda reconciled that at the very beginning of the post but people keep apparently not reading that *shrugs*

i read that and it didn't change my mind about not calling homeboy a 'tom' based on this stance on this issue.

fuck you.

"At least his take on Marshawn Lynch not talking to the media is some uncle tom shit" aka "perhaps he isn't, but his take on this is reminiscent of what one would believe"

fuck you.

Biggest problem I have with this whole "situation" is that the media wants everyone to overlook everything Lynch does (including his community work and his positive work with kids)...all because he's only there because he doesn't want to get fined.

Shit's ridiculous

they mad b/c Lynch thumbs his nose at them, sports journalists. they take it personally. and b/c they have platforms from which to speak they attempt to crucify him.

it's all pretty silly.

fuck you.

That's the sole reason they like him for real. All my in and out of jail young cousins. But that's just my silly extended family

i think it's neat.

and entirely harmless. and it only maddens the NFL execs (fuck them) and sports journalists (fuck them) and hurts no one and nothing that matters to anyone but rich white assholes.

fuck you.

Let one of their employees or teammates at that way when they are in the position if authority and these same jokers clapping will be pissed as hell.

"Today is your day to have a better life -- it's your right."

i'd be an asshole if the shoe were on the foot and i treated Lynch the way the NFL and sports journalists are treating Lynch and hopefully ppl i trust would call me out on it.

fuck you.

like ALL his teammates swear by him, his coaches love him, etc. He doesn't miss practice and he works hard.

His job is to play football. A reporters job is to sell football. He's not helping them with their job, so they're mad. Never mind the fact that they could do about two hours of research online and come up with enough content to do a story about literally anything.

Any outrage about lynch is comedy

w/his behavior. the journalists have som'n to write about - their feewings. and the NFL gets publicity b/c ppl are talking about Lynch and the press conferences.

everybody's winning.

but the NFL is mad and the journalists are mad b/c of the format in which Lynch is going about all of this. b/c he's being defiant. they want to teach him some kind of lesson. it's about breaking him. for some really ugly reasons.

fuck you.

cuz even they say he met his requirements.

This is the press on some bullshit

that was for the hat he wore to the SB press conferences he attended. it wasn't b/c of what he said to the press.

fuck you.

Steven A you already know the deal

he just talks to be talkin...thinks he's still in the loop...but just as lost in the sauce as the rest of the media people... Arian Foster had em on the ropes


Larry Foote....nigga go take a nap....kids aint stupid...kids identify and 'look up' to those who they either can relate to, respect or strive to be like...
Marshawn checks off in a lot of those categories for ALOT of people and at the same time may rub others the wrong way...which is fine...and makes people...different ....something kids already figure(d) out

fuck the NFL (from a fmaily standpoint and an individual youth standpoint). If thats what THEY (the NFL) wish to aspire to, then great.

However, as a person, Im telling my folks, kids etc, to not worry or use NFL, sports, stars, musicians etc as inspirations.

As a kid I was a James Bond, Ali, etc fan..each time we had to write who our hero was, Id write my dad.

So I guess Id have this convo with Smith and tell him to change his words to a different diatribe of not calling marsh to the carpet over this dumb shit (when folks getting beheaded etc this dumb as shit) but change it to "stop worrying about marsh and make sure youre influneces are grounded"..now if he wants to clown Marsh for bucking the system then get on him for that but dont put it on the kids lol..or Mike Brown for that matter. That's deplorable.

... Josh Gordon is a letting down the black community. FOH. Stephen A is going for that Jason Whitlock lane. He's far less antagonistic than Jason. Killer Mike needs to son Stephen A like he did Jason. This is the same show that told us RG3 was a cornball brother for marrying a white woman.
