Was that message "Don't Vote?" He didn't. Was the message disrespect the police? He wore socks with police depicted as pigs. Don't forget the origins of his message...he met a girl in SF who had this ideology and he adopted it. That, I guess, makes him a spokesman for a generation. Marshawn Lynch has done far more for his community, let his thoughts be known, plays the game and actually has a sense of humor and a sense of self. Who's the hero and who is the self-appointed representative of the dumbfounded?
