NFL takes $100K from Seattle Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch for his media silence - ESPN
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been fined $50,000 for violating the NFL's media policy, the league confirmed Wednesday to ESPN.
The NFL collected $100,000 from Marshawn Lynch for his violation of the league's media policy.
In addition, the league will collect the $50,000 fine that was imposed following violations of the media policy during the 2013 season, but held in abeyance in anticipation of Lynch's future cooperation.
The NFL media policy mandates that players must be available to the media during the practice week at the team facility and in the locker room following all games.
Lynch quickly dressed and left the team's locker room after Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, calmly walking away when reporters asked to speak to him. Lynch later did a phone interview with only one reporter -- NFL.com's Michael Silver -- after leaving the locker room.
According to the media policy: "Star players, or other players with unusually heavy media demands, must be available to the media that regulary cover their teams at least once during the practice week in addition to their required postgame media availability."
Lynch was warned by league officials last week that he was subject to the fine if he didn't talk to the media after Sunday's game. It's Lynch's third fine for violations of the media policy.
Lynch spoke to reporters once this season after the Oakland game in Seattle on Nov. 2.
Player fines collected by the league are donated through the NFL Foundation to assist Roger Goodell in his never-ending quest to collect and view every homosexual ****ographic film ever.
