Karma - Do you believe??

Karma can be a complicated thing...but not really.

Karma can be defined in a few different ways...you can google it. One of my favorite definitions you can find on Wikpedia.

 - Karma -  refers to the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual.


It has only been a week since Super Bowl XLIX. Do you remember that game? Do you remember the finish? - I have listened all week to friends, enemies and of course talk radio discuss the last play of that game. Do you remember what happened...it has only been a week.



Marshawn Lynch had a solid game. He had been running the ball like he always does, punishing the Patriot's defenders over and over. He rushed for 102 yards in the game (impressive for a Super Bowl)...and everybody, and I do mean everybody knew he would get the ball from the one yard line on that fateful play. If you gave Lynch the ball, he was going to score...if not on the first attempt, then for sure on the second. He was going to score the ball. So why did they not give it to him? Why the pass? I have heard it explained over and over. There really is only one answer, and it is simple.

Karma.

Have you watched Marshawn Lynch in the last few week leading up to the Super Bowl?
I am not sure the best way to describe his behaviour, without using words that I should not use on my blog. Simply put...he was a knob. A jerk. Rude. He disrespected reporters, fans and the NFL.
He flat out refused to answer any questions from the media. Not even "fake answers". He just simply repeat his same statements over and over and over.

- Karma -  refers to the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual.

There is no other explanation for me as to why Seattle would throw the ball in that situation. Nothing.

Karma found a way to affect the game...affect Marshawn Lynch...and change the obvious outcome of that final play...and therefore the game.
