Defend Marshawn Lynch's right to not be financially compelled to speak to the media

Created by C.F. on November 24, 2014

We believe that employers should only require their employees to engage in duties that are essential to the company. Activities that are non-essential to the functioning of the company may be financially incentivized, but the employee should not be punished by having wages withheld for not wanting to participate in non-essential activities.

Currently, Marshawn Lynch, an NFL player for the Seattle Seahawks, is being compelled to speak to the press under threat of $50,000 in fines for each week he chooses not to, just $3,00 under the GDP per capita of the United States.

We the People do not believe that an NFL player should lose the equivalent of a US citizen's yearly salary for exercising his right to privacy and would like to have our concerns shared with the executive office.
