We may have to see a Super Bowl without crotch-grabbing.
Marshawn Lynch has been warned by the NFL that their referees will be on the lookout for his hands wandering down to his nether regions. They will be ready to hand out a 15-yard penalty if he does do it. Although this does apply for everyone, it does seem more aimed at Lynch than anyone.

The fines haven't worked on the Seahawks running back in the past, but perhaps a penalty in the biggest game of the year will. The NFL's vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said the entire Seahawks team has been warned that if Lynch decides he's "'bout that action" in Super Bowl XLIX, the team will be penalized.
Former Seahawks running Shaun Alexander said Lynch is just "being real with himself," but he may want to be someone else during the big game. What ever it takes to get his team to a victory.
If Lynch decides to go against the grain and do it after a touchdown, that means the Seahawks will be kicking off from the 20-yard line. That's not the kind of short field a team would want to give Tom Brady and the Patriots.
For the sake of the Seahawks, Lynch better only be grabbing footballs on Super Bowl Sunday.
No word of what will happen if Lynch does the obscene gesture once the game is over, but until then he should only be reaching for this sausage.
