Marshawn Lynch was fined $100,000 this season for not speaking to the media. The only reason Lynch appeared at Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday was so he wouldn’t be hit by a reported $500,000 fine. Reporters were aghast at Lynch’s supposed stubbornness. Richard Sherman, meanwhile, a man who has never been afraid to speak his mind about the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, had a different (and perfectly reasonable) take on the entire situation.
