Larry Foote Says Marshawn Lynch Is A Bad Influence Marshawn Lynch has been both praised and put down for his signature interview-dodging tactics . But one fellow NFL baller has a different take on the effect Beast Mode’s refusal to play by the rules has on young Black people who look up to him. Via ESPN Arizona Cardinals linebacker Larry Foote strongly criticized Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch on Monday, saying Lynch is sending the wrong message to children. “He always mentions his foundation and what he likes to do for the city of Oakland,” Foote said in an interview with 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. “I’m from the same type of urban environment that he’s from. “The biggest message he’s giving these kids, he might not want to admit it, is ‘The hell with authority. I don’t care, fine me. I’m gonna grab my crotch. I’m gonna do it my way.’” Foote’s point is kids will believe they can act the same as Lynch does. “In the real world, it doesn’t work that way,” Foote said. “It just doesn’t. How can you keep a job? I mean, you got these inner-city kids. They don’t listen to teachers. They don’t listen to police officers, principals. And these guys can’t even keep a job because they say ‘F’ authority.” Hmmm, do you think he’s right BOSSIP fam? Is Lynch just asserting is right to be left the hell alone when he wants…or is he being a “bad influence” on urban kids?
