Marshawn Lynch Demonstrates Just How Easily Anyone Can Fall To The Addiction Of Pickleball

Marshawn Lynch, or "Beast Mode" as he's commonly known throughout the dark web, is a former Super Bowl champion. Some may consider that to be one of the highest accomplishments one can achieve in all of sports. Kids spend their entire lives dreaming about one day becoming a Super Bowl champ, and Marshawn Lynch has lived out that reality. You'd think there would be nothing left for this man to prove. You'd figure the rest of his athletic career would be gravy. 

But then Marshawn Lynch stepped foot on a pickleball court. And just like that, that Super Bowl ring doesn't mean shit anymore. Just like that, it doesn't matter that you were a 5x Pro Bowler or that you led the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice in your career. The pickleball court is the great equalizer, and all of a sudden Marshawn Lynch is now on the same level as a 75-year-old woman. Heck, he's not even close to being on her level. 

It starts off innocent enough. You're laughing, you're having a good time, you find it hilarious to be playing this silly little game with a silly little name where you just smack a wiffle ball back and forth. But then you lose to Dolores. In fact, you get your dick kicked in by Dolores. One time you can brush off with the fact that you've never played the game before, and it's her sport. But once it happens again? Dolores becomes your mortal enemy. You beat Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos to win a Super Bowl, how is it possible that you can't beat Dolores at pickleball? You're not laughing and having a good time anymore. Now you have an enemy, and now it's your mission in life to take her down. You train, you learn the game, you are so invested on kicking Dolores' ass. And once you start to get better, that's when you get hooked. That's when the addiction kicked in. What started as getting your ass beat by a 75-year-old woman has now become the only game you think about all day long. 

It happens in the blink of an eye. Don't believe me? Here's another former Super Bowl champion who can't think about anything else in life besides getting better at pickleball. 

If Super Bowl MVP's can get addicted to pickleball, then anybody can. All we can do now is just spread awareness.
