  • Pressed: Athletes can't pick and choose their press interactions

    Pressed: Athletes can't pick and choose their press interactions
    Jun 16 2022
    "I'm here so I won't get fined" - Marshawn Lynch Fancy cars, huge endorsements, grand salaries ... all are in the name of the game of being a top athlete in today's day and age.

Consequently, athletes have started taking the narrative into their own hands with the likes of Paul Pogba and Michael Jordan.
