Marshawn Lynch was asked why he is a jerk to media (video)
Seattle Seahawks running back was asked by a member of the NFL media why he is a “jerk” to them.
By now, you are probably sick of reading about Marshawn Lynch. A fine for avoiding NFL media here. A short, albeit humorous, couple of one-liner responses there. As the Seattle Seahawks continue to win, their embattled star running back continues to make headlines.

On Wednesday, he continued this trend. Although this time it was not at his own doing, strangely enough.
A reporter in the crowd on Wednesday asked Lynch why he has been a “jerk” to the media throughout his career.
Are reporters being too hard on the guy? His job is to score touchdowns, not give soundbites. All he has to do is make himself available to the media, not actually give useful responses. He should be focusing on the New England Patriots ahead of Super Bowl XLIX, not fielding questions left and right.
That, however, is a debate for another day.
For now, check out the clip below, in which you can faintly hear a member of the media ask Lynch why he is a “jerk” to them.
Perhaps even better than the question, is his response. We will not spoil it for you, however, the term apathy (very much a part of Lynch’s overall non-football playing demeanor) plays a huge part in it.
