Rory McIlroy was tweeting his admiration for Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch this morning. Lynch was fined earlier this season by the NFL for failing to fulfill his media duties and since that point, he has adopted a one word answer policy to every question he's asked.
McIlroy seems to enjoy this stance but as ever he was pushed on it:
In fairness, McIlroy expanded on his point and spoke of how he feels the media and sport should co-exist:
@JournoMatCleary people are interested in our sports regardless of media coverage. Media enhances it I totally agree with you there.

@JournoMatCleary but he has 50 team mates that can answer q's about the game. Media insist that they want him as its a bigger story. Unfair.
