PHOENIX — Unmuted Marshawn Lynch finally made an appearance at Super Bowl media availability Thursday after two other brief appearances in which his responses were “so I don’t get fined” and “you know why I’m here.”

Lynch lectured a throng of media that included dozens of video and still cameras and at least 50 reporters. He took his seat at a table and stared at his cell phone for about 15 seconds before breaking his weeklong silence.

“All week, I told y’all what’s up. For some reason y’all continue to come back and do the same thing y’all did,” Lynch said, glaring through his dark-tinted, gold-rimmed sunglasses. “I don’t know what story you’re trying to get out of me. I don’t know what image you’re trying to portray. But, it don’t matter what ya’ll think, what y’all say about me. When I go home at night, the same people I look in the face, my family that I love, that’s all that matters to me. Y’all go ahead and make up what you want.

“I come to y’all event, y’all shoved cameras and microphones down my throat. But when I’m at home in my environment, I don’t see ya’ll. But y’all made at me. And if you ain’t made at me, then what are you here for? I ain’t got nothing for ya’ll. I told y’all that. But y’all continue to do the same thing. I’m here to prepare for a game and y’all want to ask all these questions. I understand that. But I told y’all I ain’t got nothing for y’all.

“… For these next three minutes, I’ll just be looking at y’all the way you looking at me.”

Lynch told another reporter that he could come see him when he’s in the inner city.

“Y’all got two more minutes,” Lynch said.

“Shout to Oakland, California. Shout out to my teammates,” Lynch said. “Shout out to my real Africans out there. Y’all got another minute to look at me now.”
