Actually he totally is a private citizen, by every definition of the phrase, allbeit a high-profile one. But to say "he plays in the NFL, he has no personal life" is just silly.
I know a few pro athletes and entertainers, to suggest they dont have a right to privacy because they happen to be really good at things that people enjoy is again, just silly.
Regarding Marshawn, I'm suprised everyone cares so much whether or not he talks to the meida. I thought his presser was funny and so did most of the people sitting the bar I was at last night, but to each their own.
Regardless, Beastmode is going to keep doing his thing, eating his skittles and scoring TDs.
