VIDEO: Marshawn Lynch Playing in a Charity Soccer Game Went Exactly as You Would Expect
By Jerry Trotta
If there was ever a sport-athlete combination that we'd never expect to work out, it'd be Marshawn Lynch dabbling in soccer. His stocky 215-pound frame just wouldn't project to keep up with the endless running that the sport demands. Well, the former NFL tailback recently partook in a charity soccer game, and it went about as poorly as you would expect. Just seconds into the start of the second half, Lynch went full Beast Mode as he illegally picked up the ball and barreled into the net.
That's right, folks, Lynch managed to pick up a red card in a charity soccer game, and in record time. And to put the icing on the cake, Beast Mode snatched the card right out of the ref's hands, and then punted the ball away.
If we're being honest, Lynch probably had no intention of participating for a full 45 minutes. After all, he showed up wearing sandals.
We'll hazard a guess and say that this will mark the last time we see Lynch step foot on a soccer field.
