Exactly. People need to remember Marshawn has earned millions of dollars
which was made possible, in part, by ESPN and other media outlets. That's why his contracts states he must speak to the media.

Wasn't the point. He's an entertainment figure who is going to get grilled by

Is the entertainment on the field or behind a table?

Its in his contrac, so respec that. Players get what, 55% of media revenues?

True. But it shouldn't be. He's fulfilling his contract
RedlandsCoug
1/29/15 2:20pm
It shouldn't be? Then maybe the players should give 5 or 10% of the media money

So you agree that he is breaking the terms of his contract

I question if the NFL is acting ethically in forcing it.
RedlandsCoug
1/29/15 2:44pm
Contract is pretty clear as is historical enforcement.
Skipshot
1/29/15 2:51pm
What choice does the NFL have? If they don't enforce it they are in breach

It's not the media requiring him to be there it's the NFL

He gets a free education and millions of dollars to play a game

Because he's good at it. The field is important.

We do apply the same standards. It's called fulfilling your contract. He's paid

Riggt by the NFL who isn't paying him.

He is paid by the Seahawks for abiding by the terms of his contract.

do you understand the difference between can and should.
RedlandsCoug

Glad you're backing down a little by implementing the semantics game
Skipshot

The contract doesn't say he has to substantively answer every question.
RedlandsCoug
1/29/15 2:56pm
No, but it does say "cooperate." If my kids "cooperated" with me like that
Skipshot

Fair

No they aren't paying him to win. He gets his regardless of whether or not they

I think it has BECOME less about the interview.

I don't think its arrogance with him. I think it's a case of

I feel exactly the opposite. I used to like him, but his act is tired.

His interviews can be funny, but he needs to grow up and act like a professional
