Marshawn Lynch, also known as “Beast Mode”, is a professional football player for the Seattle Seahawks. He is know for being a fearless running back in the NFL, often running through people to get into the back of the end zone. The many qualities used to describe this man are as follows: Fearless, Disrespectful, Rebellious and Focused. Beast Mode exemplifies this with his play on the field and off the field.
According to Robert Brannon and Deborah David’s book, they say that: “Masculinity is characterized by a willingness to take (physical) risks and become violent if necessary.” Beast Mode was exactly that kind of guy, doing anything and going through anyone to get a TD. Marshawn Lynch is undoubtedly one of the all-time greatest running back that the NFL has ever seen because he simply wouldn’t go down. He is nicknamed “Beast Mode” for a very obvious reason. According to Patriots Linebacker coach Pat Graham: “You have to want to tackle[…] That’s really what it comes down to. When you face someone like him, there are no tricks. There are no little secrets where I can say to someone, ‘OK, you just do this and you’ll bring him to the ground.’ You have to want to tackle.” He holds many records such as the Cal school record with the most 100 yard rushing TDs. His very aggressive play really exemplifies the adventurousness and aggressiveness demonstrated in the article.
According to Robert Brannon and Deborah David’s book and the same quote mentioned in the previous paragraph, there are many interpretations of that quote such as “Some authors interpret this tenet as authorizing cheating, while discouraging respect for authority and rules.” He is notorious for being a reckless and disrespectful person by racking up many fines over the years because he wouldn’t attend mandatory press conferences and getting in trouble with the law. At Super Bowl XLIX Media Day, Marshawn sat down with reporters that threw 25+ questions and he responded with the same answer: “I’m just here so I won’t get fined […] I’m just here to play football.” Also, he ran into multiple legal troubles in 2008 and in 2012 where he committed multiple hit and runs, got his license provoked, pled guilty and served 2 years probation (2008). His bad behavior off the field also really exemplifies the adventurousness and aggressiveness demonstrated in the article.
