While Marshawn Lynch is trying to make himself into a counter-culture commodity by not talking, there are other people who might have things to say who aren’t terribly available either.
And that’s the point Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman made Tuesday at media day, specifically mentioning commissioner Roger Goodell.
“Every one of the NFL’s personnel should be obligated to speak weekly,” Sherman said, via Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports.
See, as political statements against the moneyed bosses who make them put on the red nose to participate in the circus media day has become, this one was a lot more effective.
Lynch is just doing it to be difficult, and frankly, I’m not sure he has that much to say.
Goodell has many things to address, and he’ll get his chance Friday.
That press conference could easily become the same kind of performance art as today (though league PR manages to filter out the costumed silliness better for the boss).
But Sherman’s right. I’m far more interested in what Goodell has to say than Lynch. But Roger’s not threatening to fine himself, either.
