Is it wrong to be intimidated by or feel fear for a extremely strong, angry man, yelling into a camera?
Definitely a lot of racism came out in the reaction to his interview. I fully support his trash talking, his high entertainment, in addition to his skills on the field. He is clearly a very witty guy based upon things I've read on twitter, and his ability to refute all comers. I appreciate it a lot and back in HS after I would block a shot or score, I'd run back down the yelling (usually just a loud exclamation of YEAH! or something) I'd also stare down the person on the other team that I blocked or scored on. I love the passion, the trash talk, and mental aspect of the game.
I just don't buy that is inherently based upon race to have a negative reaction to the Sherman. I don't buy that a black player needs to act a certain way to be loved. I actually struggle to find a black player that I loved that didn't show a lot of emotion on the field of play and in turn tend to hate the white players who showboat and talk crap.
Racism is a live and well in America. I think you can be afraid or fear someone yelling when their emotions are at a high level and it not be due to race.
