Above is a link that may offer more clarity, but essentially Marshawn Lynch of the returning Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks (NFL), choose not to make himself availble for media comments during the week. The NFL has a media policy which "mandates that players must be available to the media during the practice week at the team facility and in the locker room after all games." Violating this for the second time has resulted in another 50,000 dollar fine totaling 100k over the last two seasons. This biggest issues is when you look at how Terrel "TO" Owens and Chad "ochocinco" Johnson destroyed the end of their careers because of all there media antics and were label as team distractions and many other negatives, why fine a man who is trying to do the exact opposite and exploit him for for choosing to be silent. Yes he is a star and major part of their team but when you look at how Sean Taylor of the Redskins was shot in his home and killed because of his fame, you can understand why a star may not want all the limelight when it can be avoided. It sad sometimes how the media wants to build these athletes to a godly pedestal only to bring them down the second they show a bit of humanity.
