Richard Sherman hates Crabtree, loves L.L. Bean

[ChiComCat]

Ok, I thought you were trying to say that Sherman was trying to show some semblance of sportsmanship.

Me too.  Sherman wasn't and Crabtree handled it fine.  Sherman is just a studboss though

Are you like 90 years old?

Can we rename this to :_33ToTheKidsHavingFunNearHisLawn: too long?

If Joe Namath was "cool", then most of that article's later examples weren't, and Richard Sherman is.

[Winters]

Sherman is a stud.

He's the best in the game

I disagree with his premise that White America will accept an arrogant untalented black man.

I don't think he means white America would like an arrogant untalented black man, just that he would fit a narrative.

It was done much better than the similar story by the Huffington Post ()

"Tell me how I should feel about this" is so true though.

I enjoy the number of people, especially writers/bloggers, that are doing just that.

He was a pretty talented running back

the guy played two different positions on two different teams, AT THE SAME TIME (!), and here comes MIR (who has never played a down of NFL football in his life) to tell us how "untalented" he is. smh. SMDH!

[Rage Against the McKee]

Let's leave Eddie Murphy out of this, MIR.

God damn it. Beat me to that punch line.

can anyone show me when a white guy (or hell, even another black guy) reacted this way in a postgame interview?  maybe the reaction is because of jackassery, not because of race.

coaches treat each other like crap all of the time after games. tennis players yell at the umpire in every tournament(serena gets grief for it). baseball managers lose their minds a few times a season. all of this stuff happens plus much more and my timeline doesn't explode with people commenting on their "ignorance" or "classless" behavior. i get that the nfl is insanely popular but the outrage is nonexistant in other circumstances where the individual is white and therefore more predictable to middle america.

john mcenroe (sp?) got crap for it all the time too.  and if you can't see the difference between coaches/managers/players getting angry and arguing with the refs over a call, and a player yelling into the camera/at the interviewer about how great he is, then i don't know what to tell you.  americans in general like humble players, that goes for all races.

just look at gE.  shellshock says if people saw what he works on, they would blush cause it's so big timey, and everyone laughs at the jackass for being a jackass.

John McEnroe became the biggest star in tennis because of his actions. I mean he's doing credit card commercials 20 years after he retired because of the way he used to act.

Did anyone call him a thug or ignorant at any point in his career? I suppose it's possible, but unlikely.
