We have heard from Pete Carroll. We have heard from Darrell Bevell. And now we are hearing a final word from the woman herself — Delisa Lynch.
Lynch, the mother of Seattle Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch, posted on Facebook Monday to criticize Bevell for a poor play call to end the Seahawks’ Week 1 game against the Rams. Her passionate post called for Bevell to be fired.
After both Carroll and Bevell responded to the post this week, Delisa issued the following statement on Facebook Thursday:
“I am a fan of football first and foremost, when I watch the game I view it through the eyes of a fan and then a Mother. I’ve been going to my kids games and practices for year, and not only do I love the game but I love analyzing it also. I don’t discuss football when talking with my son, I discuss life and other things. I realize as a mother of a player, my views with be received differently than the average fan, and I acknowledge that Facebook may have not been the best platform to display my views, but I love the Seahawks just like all the other 12’s, so when I see a 4th and 1 ran out of a shotgun formation against a good Rams defensive line, as a FAN it makes me wonder what the coordinators logic was.”
And you thought Mama Lynch was going to back down? Apparently you don’t know the Lynch family very well. In essence, she’s saying treat me like a fan, and Bevell’s still a dummy.
What’s the saying? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Now you know exactly where Marshawn gets his attitude from.
