Marshawn Lynch took to twitter in the middle of the Super Bowl yesterday to announce his retirement. Like everything Lynch does, this announcement was done with a style that was all his own.
It is fitting that there were no words used. Lynch was always “about that action” and didn’t ever want to talk to the media. For those of us that had the pleasure of watching and covering him on a weekly basis, that was perfectly alright with us.
Lynch is a guy who was greatly misunderstood outside of Seattle. His “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” new conference last year was widely condemned by national media members who simply refused to take the time to understand Lynch.
