NFL issues warning to Marshawn Lynch on junk grabbing
The NFL has let Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch know they won’t tolerate his crotch grabbing
Marshawn Lynch has become the poster boy for fines in the NFL. Whether it is for his failure to address the media or wearing non-sanctioned cleats, Lynch has heard from the NFL many times this season. Now, the NFL is letting it know that they won’t tolerate Lynch’s newest move.

Marshawn Lynch lately has decided to start grabbing his crotch every time he scores. It’s a trend the league quickly wants to put a stop to before other players and Seahawks fans start grabbing their crotches too.
The latter is probably inevitable. Either way the league wants to set a standard and eliminate any negative imagery, especially in a season with the black cloud of domestic violence and Deflate Gate hanging over it.

Lynch hasn’t been shy about his feelings towards the league either. After receiver Chris Matthews was fined for shaking Lynch’s hand following Lynch’s touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in Sunday’s NFC Championship game, Lynch took to twitter to let his opinion of the league be known.
I feel embarrassed to work for a particular organization that fined a teammate of mine for shaking my hand after a touchdown

Lynch isn’t happy with the league’s policies in regards to fines and the fact they’ve taken a good chunk of change away from him is a strong indicator.
Lynch called working for the league embarrassing and was obviously frustrated.
The league probably finds Lynch grabbing his crotch and setting a bad example for young fans embarrassing too. If Lynch scores in Super Bowl XLIX, it will be interesting to see what he does on the largest stage in the world.
