Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch offered his thoughts on the state of minority ownership—or lack thereof—in the NFL during a panel at MLK Now on Monday.

CNN Money's Ahiza Garcia noted in May 2018 the NFL has only two owners of color: Shad Khan and Kim Pegula.

In a discussion with director Ryan Coogler and rapper J. Cole, Lynch explained how the current state of affairs presents a problem for players beyond the fact they don't often have a clear path that could lead to ownership or front-office roles.
