Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin Go At The NFL In Their Own Press Conference

After seeing the NFL fine their teammate Marshawn Lynch $100,000 for not speaking with the press, fellow Seahawks Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin decided to take matters into their own hands by calling a press conference.

Addressing the media were Sherman and a cardboard cutout of receiver Doug Baldwin. Standing at the podium together, the players decided to address the fine and the hypocrisy of the NFL through mention of the League's mandated restrictions against player actions and endorsements but the existence of league partnerships with brands in the same category. It will be interesting how the League reacts to the actions of the two players, yet you can't deny the honesty of their comments and their underlying frustration with the power that the NFL wields.

You can see their press conference below and judge for yourself:
