This iconic moment occurred during the NFL Media Day for Super Bowl XLIX in 2015. Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, known for his 'Beast Mode' playing style and his distaste for media interactions, sat before a crowd of reporters. Rather than answering their questions, Lynch famously repeated variations of 'You know why I'm here' or 'I'm just here so I won't get fined.' The clip captures Lynch in his Seahawks gear, maintaining a stoic and unbothered expression while dismissively addressing the press to avoid financial penalties from the league. It has since become the gold standard for representing mandatory attendance or doing something strictly out of obligation. Users employ this meme to describe workplace meetings, family gatherings, or any social situation where they are physically present but mentally checked out. Example captions include: 'When the syllabus says attendance is 10% of your grade' and 'Me showing up to the 8 AM meeting I'm not even required for.'
