Princeton University students protest Marshawn Lynch as their Class Day speaker
Some students at Princeton University are upset that Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch will be the guest speaker at a graduation ceremony and have written an open letter to say so.
Princeton announced Lynch, 33, as the university's Class Day speaker, scheduled for June, on Tuesday and attributed the choice to his social activism to communities across the country, including his home state of California.
'[Lynch's] substantive work in communities stands alongside his on-field success,' the statement read.
'From his stops in the Bay Area, to Buffalo, to Seattle, Mr. Lynch has always prioritized community engagement and empowerment by leveraging his prominence as a professional athlete to promote opportunities for civic engagement and social justice.'
However, a group of students wrote an open letter for campus publication Daily Princeton and pushed back against the decision over claims that they didn't feel 'included' in the decision process.
