Sherman's Interview

Richard Sherman is one of the most controversial players now. This interview is what put him at the top of the list. Sherman ended the Championship game with a blocked touchdown pass to 49er's Michael Crabtree. After the play, Sherman was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct due to comments he made toward Crabtree, and for grabbing his throat making a  "Choking" gesture towards 49er's quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Then, there was the interview afterwards. Sherman did show some disrespect towards opposing players and did sound cocky. However, he just made the last play that put the Seahawks into the Superbowl. If I were Sherman, I would be just as pumped, and my adrenaline would also be through the roof. People however didn't understand. Sherman recieved so many complaints for his actions, and they didn't take how happy and emotional he was with that win. Some people took his action too far calling Sherman a "Thug" which then brought up racism. People also said that he set a bad example for kids. His reaction was just simply adrenaline and happines for making an incredible play. Sherman isn't a thug, he graduated with a 4.0 from Stanford, and he didn't even curse in the interview. He is one of the top corners in the league. Can we not just let him play football
