Marshawn Lynch has taken the national anthem controversy to another level after a reporter shared photos on Twitter showing him sitting for the US national anthem and standing for Mexico’s on Sunday.


Lynch’s Oakland Raiders were in Mexico City for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. The anthems for both countries were played before the game. Patriots reporter Ben Volin of the Boston Globe shared photos that show Lynch sitting for the US anthem and then standing for Mexico’s.

Marshawn Lynch sits during the US national anthem, stands for Mexican anyhem

Some on Twitter disputed Volin’s account and said that Lynch rose for Mexico’s because he was getting his chest pads worked on by a trainer. While that may be true, it still does not change that Lynch stood up for the Mexican national anthem but not the US one.


Volin also wasn’t the only reporter to note that Lynch stood for Mexico’s anthem.

Mexican national anthem being sung on field at Estadio Azteca. And throughout the crowd. Marshawn Lynch rose for it.

I understand the players’ protest during the US national anthem because they are trying to bring attention to social issues. But to stand for Mexico’s anthem and not ours is a gigantic slap in the face of the country. You’re going to tell me you approve of all of Mexico’s oppression and treatment of its citizens and corrupt government, but you have a problem with America? That’s where you lose me completely.

He doesn't know What he's protesting, he just likes the attention without saying a word because that's how he has always been

This guy is a perfect example of an athlete who could in no way have made it through college classes without a free pass.

Simply dumb as a box of rocks...

I don't know what he is protesting. But there is more corruption within Mexican police in Mexico. Not necessarily more police brutality. Plus Mexico isn't as diverse as America, so there isn't much of a target to go after besides their own people.

He wasn’t necessarily standing for the Mexico anthem. He was putting on equipment while it was playing. It’s not like he was paying respects to it. He is a pos, though.

He always gets off the hook for shit like this. Because he doesn't act perfect. If Kaeperknick a QB, does this....people go absolutely crazy.


If you are a star and have that " I always do right" perception about you....when people catch you fucking up and acting a fool they are going to say...."Ah Ha! Got you! You aren't what you said." When you act human...like Marshawn does.....he's going to get off the hook regardless if he explains why or not.



Because when people say "oh that's Marshawn being Marshawn. " what they are really are saying is....."he's human and his actions don't surprise us." That's what they mean when they talk about stars in the public eye.

Lol.. 2% maybe 5% MAX in the US, have similar involvement..
People just don't know how good they Got it... there is n owere on EARTH as kind and EVEN and peaceful as the US.. there is no where on EARTH were minorities are treated with as much care, and fairness, as the US.. there is no place on the EARTH, where homeless, and poor, are fed, and educated and given equal opportunity. YET...

They should admit their racism and flood their country with minorities. Diversity is a strength after all right? So should all of Africa and Asia. Damn racists.

Bullshit. Given equal opportunity my ass.


Lol no where on earth minorities are treated with as much care lmfao. That's a shame then. And also not true at all lmfao.

I agree Mexican police/government is very corrupt. More corruption than they do police brutality. And we have a lot of both.

Actually white countries treat minorities way better than non-white countries and it's not even close!! Maybe the US isn't the best for treatment of minorities, but it's leap and bounds better than any non-white majority country!!

I don't know what non white countries mean. Are we a non white country? Yeah I have no idea what means.

Germany and France take the cake bro. So if those are diverse countries......they win.
