Good article. I am still pissed off at the ending of that game. They could have just given him the ball, and he would have cemented his legacy and his future in the Hall of fame. Scust, fukk you Pete Carroll.

I understand you but I will counter and say that I think it may have started with a personal feeling of "needing space" from the media but he has recently realized the position he fell into. If the right people are in his ear...I think that he is in a position to change some lives.
The beautiful thing is..He's a rebel. Tat's the first part that is needed to have people, in this day and age, follow you. He's a trendy rebel.

Breh...I actually had this idea to write this piece right after the game...had I done that...I'd have killed with this discussion on the COli. #fukkLaziness

I have faith in my Coli. Brehs...After all...
It's all good parts.
It's crazy how things that occur in a facet of life, that are so poignant, are often praised for their contribution in a vacuum, meanwhile, the thread that is attached to it shows that the world around it basically give the actual action, experience & response the color.
It's sad that one day, people will look back at the actions of Richard Sherman & Marshawn Lynch as something interesting but less than it really is. Crazy how the preconceived notion that a person of color, who doesn't conform or who looks like what society deems as a problem, get vilified with tragic results.
The same people calling Richard Sherman a thug would be the same people who would have approached Trayvon Martin in that split second...because they all rely on stereotypes to guide them.
Breh...domino effect. Imagine if that would have happened...then society would be ultra worried about what a Black entertainer would say as a filibuster at the Oscars which would have triggered something else.
We'll never know!
I'm sure yall have seen this. Just a little update

Thoughts breh?
Good work. Just didn't like this comparison.
I think it was an excellent article. Very talented writer. I'll have to check for when you post new stuff. My opinion on everything is that nobody can say what might've happened if he was given the ball. Whether a touchdown, fumble, or tackled before the goal line. Anything could've happened, that's how sports is. I just disagree with how the media perceives him and Sherman. The emotions and intensity he displayed during that interview isn't the characteristics of a thug but a passionate athlete that has the desire to always win. That's the type of player i want on my teams. Sherman has the educational and athletic accolades that any man would love to have. To call him a thug is ridiculous. But unfortunately the media has the image of what the safe cookie cutter athlete should be. I enjoy seeing post game interviews or press conferences at times but it always seems to be the same questions and answers no matter the game. "We didn't play well as a team. We didn't focus on this. We just have to move on to the next game." "My teammates saw i had the hot hand so they kept running plays thru me. I was in a groove with my curve so I kept using that. We exploited weaknesses in their defense and were able to take advantage." Almost always the same. So the media was shocked when he said that and tried to blow it out of proportion. People watch sports to see the games, not worry about what reporters or athletes are saying. But the way the media is setup, they are built on looking for controversy. They know these types of stories gain national attention and bring in more viewers. It's all a business. They know that and exploit it. That's why lynch doesn't talk cuz he knows what could happen. Everyone has seen the good work he does for his community and kids in general. Some just hate him cuz of his quiet demeanor. Not everyone wants to always talk. I myself am mostly a quiet type. They just misunderstand him and Sherman cuz they don't fit the mold. I'm not a Seahawks fan but I've respected his game since our divisional battles when he was in buffalo. Long as he does his job on the field and stays a positive role model off the field, then i don't give a danm what they say or don't say to the media. Words don't win ballgames, actions do.
