Thats just it. By refusing to talk, he's actually making himself look like a jerk. If he actually pointed out WHY he's doing it, if there really is a valid reason, he could actually make a point instead of looking like a putz. He has the perfect situation to do so, being in the SB and having a captive audience.
If there is a real reason, use this to your advantage and make those media guys look like the "douches".
As far as the crotch grabbing, I don't care if he wants to do that, other then it makes him look like a very poor sport. Those kinds of things are outlawed by the NFL.
Barry Sanders scored touchdowns, and I don't EVER remember him doing a classless act like that.
It's disrespecrful to your opponents, and shows no class in my view.
If Jordy Nelson, Eddie Lacy or John Kuehn (SP?) did that, I'd call it classless too. It has nothing to do with his skin color, or team affiliation.
Show some class on the field.
Like it or not, little kids are watching that and want to be like their sports idols. Is THAT the message you want to give to kids?
Yeah, I know it's not his responsibility to be a role model, but he IS, like it or not.
Bart Starr was my role model when it came to football. I pretended to be him when I played football. I don't remember him grabbing his crotch.
Just show some class out there, and give a reason for people to respect you.
I hated Barry Sanders, as he was just so darn good! (I didn't really hate him!) Fact is, I respected his actions AND incredible talent. I just hated that he was so good against the Packers.
Lynch could get that respect to, if he didn't show such little class on the field, and disrespect for the rules.
