Can we just stop with the Marshawn Lynch nonsense please?
Look, I get it. Fans get emotionally attached to players, and not even just the superstars. When long-snapper Clint Gresham was released in March you would think the sky had fallen, based on fan reaction over social media.
When you’re talking about a mega-stud like Lynch, of course it’s hard to let go. The guy not only produced on the field (at a nearly Hall Of Fame level) but his arrival from Buffalo in that 2010 trade transformed the attitude of the locker room and helped head coach Pete Carroll establish a new culture.
