I wonder if he feels the same way about notable people in history who broke rules and regulations because the didn't think they were right.

I'm not comparing lynch to Rosa Parks or anything, but sometimes rules need to be changed.

Sounds like you need to take a look in the mirror if you are offended by a professional football player's interview antics.

But you're sending the right message to the people that created the idiotic rules and regulations.

That rule all comes down to $. The NFL puts that in the player contracts means more $ from said media

as passionate as he wants to be about sticking to his douchebag guns and not giving reasonable answers to questions is the same passion i have for my hatred of him. You can have passion over a WR dropping a ball but you can't have passion over a player acting like a douche in front of all the cameras? I'm a fan of the NFL. I hate Seattle. Lynch being a bitch fuels my soul. Don't even get me started on Russel Wilson now.... between the two of them back to back at the podium, holy fricking shite.
So Lynch's oppositional behavior with media bothers you (a little too much maybe) because it is too childish and immature? Yet, Wilson's perfectly compliant behavior, albeit cliched and boring yet professional, also bothers you? I mean I wish interviews were more candid and transparent, but when anything less than PC can cause outrage, it's hard to blame them for not opening up. Knowing that, it seems illogical to get upset by both Lynch and Wilson's dissimilar approaches.

In this case, I don't think it's really unreasonable to expect NFL players to communicate with the media (and by extension fans) on a regular basis.

The NFL's policy for all players is pretty clear. And these guys are making good money for it.

Now do I disagree that it's potentially a hypocritical policy because of how Goodell conducts himself? Not at all. And Lynch isn't breaking contract. At the same time, I certainly don't feel sorry for him.

Funny to think this is sooooo serious. This is like me trying to lecture a 30 year old man for driving 55 in a 45 and telling him he's not a good role model for future generations. Hilarious.

As do I, in many cases. Media participants are very often un-courteous, I don't see anyone bitching about them.
