The NFL has seen many big characters in its day, but perhaps none have ever been as charismatic as former Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch.
And as a former Seahawks star, Lynch has not been shy about his distaste for the rival San Francisco 49ers.
Lynch showed off that distaste while in Las Vegas for Super Bowl 58 by seeking out each and every 49ers fan that he could find and telling them, respectfully, “f— you.”

In a now-viral video, Lynch can be seen parading around a casino floor with a microphone and what appears to be a bucket of chicken wings in hand. He approaches everyone he sees that appears to be a San Francisco 49ers fan.
Lynch then asks, repeatedly, “are you a 49ers fan?”
When they answer yes, he hits them with a two-word answer: “f— you.”
How can you not love rivalries?
Marshawn Lynch Is Staying Busy To Keep His Bank Account Full
Lynch has kept busy since retirement. He’s been on podcasts, TV shows, and even a Netflix golf broadcast. It’s all part of plan he devised several years ago to make sure he didn’t end up broke following his playing days.
“I remember my financial advisor came in — he came in and he was talking. And, s—, I had this thing where I could go to sleep standing straight up. And so he came in and he started talking and I feel asleep, straight up,” Lynch explained on the Smartless podcast recently.
Co-host Sean Hayes then replied, “It goes in one ear, out the other,” Marshawn replied:
“S–, it didn’t go in no ear — I’m SLEEP. Dead to the world. So, as he’s finishing up, and I come to, I see all these names, and these are names of NFL players who, I thought, you know, if you play in the NFL, you’re the richest person in the world. And I’m looking at all these names and I’m seeing they’ve got a number on the side, and I’m like, ‘Damn, f—, they got all this money!
“And then at the end of it, he goes through, like, three slides, talking about some of the most notable names in football. And at the end, he says… ‘ALL BANKRUPT!’ And I’m like, ‘What the f—?!’ And he’s like, ‘NO MONEY!’, and I’m like, ‘Nah, hell nah! Now I’m up!’”
What better way for Marshawn Lynch to avoid bankruptcy than telling 49ers fans off?
