I know some here may dislike Sherman for the brashness of his on-field persona, but it took some courage to take a stand like this.

Funny how I didn't hear about this on ESPN.

[Resolute Conservative]

Although I do not watch more than 30 minutes of football a year, I may have to watch Sherman. Bravo!

Now be aware your career may be over.

[Hildy]

For this, he should get the ESPY Courage Award. But first he’d have to cut off his nuts.

[Norm Lenhart]

The man deserves a medal. Seriously.

Refreshing to hear from a grown-up who is also an athlete. Good for you, Mr. Sherman!

[Mama Shawna]

The other player is MarShawn Lynch, AKA ‘Beastmode’.

[Blueflag]

I just became a Seahawks fan.

Mama Shawna - awful close to “Mama Sherman” who is famous in her own right with the fans at the local games. Sherman is brash on the field and in some of his interviews. But mostly he comes off in interviews as smart and respectful.

Of course what would one expect from an “Uncle Tom” making millions of dollars playing for rich white folks? /sarcasm

[Not A Snowbird]

I’m a little prouder to wear my Richard Sherman jersey!

[Mercat]

Wow!!!

The first time I heard of Sherman was the post Superbowl game and I thought he was a loud-mouthed jerk. Over time, however, I have heard him speak outside the emotion of winning a Superbowl, and he is articulate and thinks before he speaks. Alas, his message is most likely going to fall on deaf ears because blacks prefer to think they are victims and it’s much easier to blame someone else for your problems than face the truth and look in the mirror for the real source of your lot in life. I hope blacks start to listen to his message, but idiots like Al and Jesse will try to silence him. Still, he is a model of someone who wanted something, worked hard, and got what he wanted...and did it without playing the victim.

So, what does M. Lynch have to say about this, before everyone gets all misty eyed?

[21twelve]

The back-story for both Lynch and Sherman are pretty amazing. As I would imagine many of the stories of pro-atheletes. Parents that cared for them and watched out for them and a family that stuck together. I think it is Sherman's dad that still drives a garbage truck like he has done his entire life.

Sherman is very intelligent.

[windsorknot]

And if you condone senseless black shootings of whites and police officers, you better make that a debate on Springer, so I can bitchslap your ignorant ass.

Touchdown!

[MikeSteelBe]

We need more people like him to speak up!

Is his middle name Tecumseh?

I don’t know about his opinions on race - but he sure is opinionated about candy! (Nice interview with a Japanese candy girl!)
