It is widely understood that Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is not a big fan of interacting with other people, aside from family and teammates. So when Lynch went for a stroll in Appleton, Wisconsin this afternoon, a suburb just outside of Green Bay where his 'Hawks will be taking on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, the last thing he probably wanted to deal with was a bunch of teenagers surrounding and gawking at him like he was in a zoo.
Alas, that's what happened, as a group of what looks like almost 10 kids box in Lynch as he's going for a walk. They don't really ask for anything, no autograph or picture requests, they just weirdly follow him with their phones out in silence. Lynch is visibly uncomfortable, as anyone in this situation would be, and eventually tells the stalkers to "back up off of me."
Hey, sports fans, don't do this. Ever. Let the man walk in peace, and if you really want an autograph or a picture, ask him and then be on your way. But don't follow around a guy they call Beast Mode who clearly is not a big fan of human interaction.
