Richard Sherman on the people who call him "Thug"


Quote:I get where you're coming from, especially as a coach. It was the display of everything you don't WANT your players doing after a game. He looked ignorant, arrogant and hot headed no denying it. I don't like it one bit, I would be embarrassed if I had anything to do with him honestly. But I don't see him as a thug because of it, an idiot sure, thug no.
 

I'd wager that's how most intelligent folks feel about it, too.

 

And like most of them, they were completely over the incident not very long after it happened.

 

But then continued the internet...

I watched both yes.

 

It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter if he did it on national television?

 

I can respect your opinion, just can't agree with it.

I am with you. I've been coaching the game since the day I stopped playing it. Almost 30 years total now (hard to believe as I'm almost 36!)

 

I never saw him as a thug either.

My only regret is not playing MORE organized sports as a kid, I guess it's why I was so excited to let my kids play so young.

Sherman just got fined almost 8 thousand for unsportsmanlike conduct. For the choking gesture he got flagged on after the play though, not the interview.

I think that's fair.

I would pay that any day if I were Sherman. He was blowing off steam after that loser crabtree spent 3 hours whining at him. The fact that he choked his own throat and not crabtree's shows how truly upstanding he truly is. Sherman's a better man than I am. I would have found my hands wrapped around a different throat.

“No one has ever made himself great by showing how small someone else is,” Sherman writes in a new column for TheMMQB.com.  “That’s not mine.  It belongs to Irvin Himmel.  Somebody tweeted it at me after the NFC Championship Game.  If I could pass a lesson on to the kids it would be this:  Don’t attack anybody.  I shouldn’t have attacked Michael Crabtree the way I did.  You don’t have to put anybody else down to make yourself bigger.”

I think people should be more offended by the responses Sherman received then his interview. 
That would never happen, because it would get in the way of good knee jerk reactions and the need to villify. 

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I still dont get why people think he should get a free pass?  He admitted he was wrong for a few things now.  Distracting away from the team, demeaning an opponent, etc....

 

You may not have liked a word some people used to critize him, but those that were reacting to it negatively werent wrong.  You all want to give him a free pass now and say that those that think he acted like a fool were wrong.

 

It makes no sense to me.

Not racist, just not very intelligent at all.  But then, it's an understatement to point out that's stating the obvious.

 Nice to see Sherman has reflexed on his behavior, an also found it wanting.

The nation got totally played by Sherman. If you watch the sequence of events, he was clearly putting on an act. He did an interview before Andrews grabbed him, and he was going off on Crabtree. Then Andrews grabs him, he smiles and hugs her. When the camera comes on, he goes back into his act.

 

Then for the next week, everybody is talking about him.

 

Brilliant.

Actually they can, just because you're white doesn't mean you can't hate that race.

Well, he got everyone (or a majority of people) talking about race relations.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
