NFL legend Marshawn Lynch throws an elbow at a player while working as a photographer at Seahawks game
NFL legend Marshawn Lynch has gone viral after stiff-arming a Seattle Seahawks player while seemingly working as a photographer during their preseason game. The 39-year-old was spotted - in full photographer gear - on the sidelines as his former team took on the Las Vegas Raiders at Lumen Field on Thursday afternoon. The two-time All-Pro running back had his camera at the ready, wore an official NFL vest and had all the credentials as he snapped pictures from the day. However, things nearly ended in disaster when Seahawks star George Holani nearly backed up into Lynch as he scored a touchdown on the day. Lynch took matters into his own hands and - in order to protect his camera - threw out an elbow to prevent the running back from breaking his equipment. Holani appeared to take little note of Lynch's shove and swiftly jogged back onto the field, while Lynch took his spot back on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, there were plenty of pictures of Lynch working alongside the Seahawks' longtime photographer Rod Mar on the day. Lynch follows in the footsteps of former Seattle Mariners stars Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson by making the transition into photographer after retiring. It remains to be seen whether Lynch will be back on the sidelines for the Seahawks' next preseason game against the Chiefs on August 15th. Elsewhere on the day, Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty endured a debut to forget as he struggled to find form in the game against the Seahawks. The highly-rated 21-year-old, who was spotted viewing a beautiful $12.5million Las Vegas mansion earlier this week, managed just three carries for -1 yard against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. And football fans didn't hesitate to rip the rookie for his underwhelming performance with many already writing him off before the start of the NFL season. 'I have more rushing yards than Ashton Jeanty in the NFL preseason,' one fan account joked on X, as a second echoed: 'YOU have more rushing yards in the NFL than Ashton Jeanty.' Jeanty had arrived in Sin City as a highly-anticipated prospect, signing a four-year deal worth $35.9 million with the franchise - which included a stunning signing bonus worth just under $22.75 million. There was a lot of expectations for Jeanty after his impressive displays for Boise State saw him come runner-up in the Heisman Trophy last year.

Buccaneers and Seahawks to wear throwback jerseys in Week 5 meeting to celebrate 50th seasons
The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will both wear throwback jerseys when they square off on Week 5 at Lumen Field. Celebrating their 50th seasons in the NFL, both sides will wear threads from their inaugural campaigns in 1976. On Friday, the teams announced on social media that they will be sporting the vintage kits and helmets when they meet on October 5. The Bucs will wear the white version of the Creamsicle jersey and the Seahawks will wear their old royal blue ensembles. The looks are a nod to their first meeting in their debut seasons in the NFL. Seattle defeated Tampa Bay 13-10 in one of their two wins to finish 2-12. The Buccaneers struggled in their first season, going 0-14. Since then, both teams have had their share of success. The Buccaneers won titles in 2003 against the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021. The Seahawks won their rings in 2014 by beating the Denver Broncos. Aside from the Week 5 game, the Buccaneers will be wearing the alternate version of their old jerseys in their home opener against the New York Jets in Week 3. The Seahawks finished last season with a 10-7 record but missed the postseason for the second straight year. Tampa Bay topped the NFC South with a 10-7 record and lost to Washington in a wild-card game. So far this offseason, Seattle traded two-time Pro Bowl receiver DK Metcalf to the Steelers and veteran quarterback Geno Smith to the Raiders. In exchange, they received second- and third-round picks, which ultimately resulted in the selections of tight end Elijah Arroyo from Miami and quarterback Jalen Milroe from Alabama. Seattle also made a big splash by signing Pro Bowl quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year deal worth $100.5 million after his successful stint in Minnesota. Tampa Bay re-signed Chris Godwin to a three-year, $66 million deal after he suffered a dislocated ankle that ended his season early. The 29-year-old was set to enter free agency before the Bucs extended his time in Tampa Bay with $44 million in guaranteed money. The Buccaneers and Seahawks' game, dubbed the Expansion Bowl, will air on NBC.

Frei dropped to the turf at Lumen Field and teammates signaled to the sideline for help. Advertisement With the match tied at 1-1 deep in stoppage time, Crew coach Wilfried Nancy and Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer appealed to the referee to end it. As Frei was stretchered to the waiting ambulance, Seattle fans chanted his first name. Frei, 39, has played for the Sounders since 2014. He helped Seattle win the MLS Cup in 2016 and 2019, and he was named MLS Cup MVP in 2016. He was an All-Star in 2017. Born in Switzerland, Frei's family moved to the United States when he was a teenager and he was a standout at the University of California. ___ AP soccer:

Soccer culture clash at Club World Cup as American woman reports Argentine fans to cops over 'throwing beer and shoving' - but they say SHE was wrong
A clash of cultures erupted at Seattle's Lumen Field during the Club World Cup as an American woman reported a group of Argentine fans to stadium staff and police. The tensions occurred during Inter Milan 's 2-0 victory over River Plate earlier in the week - a match that was heated on the pitch as well, with the Buenos Aires side receiving two red cards and six booking issued in total. The woman described being surrounded by River fans who refused to respect assigned seating and crowded into her section in raucous fashion. She explained on social media that the situation turned physical when she confronted the fans, claiming they threw beer on her and shoved her boyfriend away. She called security, and eventually local police arrived to intervene. The woman could be heard screaming in a video uploaded on TikTok: 'This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' One of the River fans responded: 'We paid too,' before the American woman demanded they showed their tickets. @_jung_kook_wifey We approach them with our tickets in our hand and they're like 'there's no assigned seats' like we don't go to almost every Sounder game and know the drill. They got aggressive real quick throwing beer and shoving my bf and pulling my hair. #ClubWorldCup ♬ original sound - lou ❀𓇼𓏲☘︎ River Plate fans ignored ticket allocations and sat in her set, leading to a heated confrontation The woman alleged that beer was thrown on her hair and that her boyfriend was shoved away The River fan then said: 'You can sit anywhere, it doesn't matter [about] your ticket,' much to the woman's frustration, who insisted again: 'It does. This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' In South American football culture, supporters often cluster together and ignore seat assignments on their tickets. The woman recognised this, but argued that these norms do not override the fact she paid for a specific seat. She wrote on TikTok: 'I can support futbol culture but that does not mean disregarding the stadium's rules or jurisdiction. 'This was not a general admission event! Otherwise, tickets would have been priced THE SAME. 'Choosing to ignore assigned seating - and worse, attempting to physically intimidate or assault others out of their PAID spaces - is not only entitled, it's unlawful. 'You cannot assault your way into getting what you want just because you are not 'used to the customs set in place.' However, many fans under the woman's video did not extend any sympathy, arguing she should have been prepared for a culture clash before buying her tickets. The woman went on to accuse one fan of swearing and smoking a cigarette in the ground One fan commented: 'In South America your ticket gets you into the stands and no seat allocation as no one sits down anyway. The seats are a free for fall, if you come late. You lose out. So happy Americans are getting a taste of real football.' Another wrote: 'That's how it works in ultras sector. You should know that before you buy tickets.' A third said: 'To be fair in South America and many countries, seat allocations don't matter. You sit where there's space.' The woman shared more details of the incident in another slideshow on TikTok, where she went on to reveal that one man was also swearing at her and smoking a cigarette in the ground.
