As a resident of Western Washington and a Seahawks fan, things are not as they appeared with Mr. Sherman.
Mr. Sherman is an aggressive hard working player on the field and a much admired young man off the field in this area.
Mr. Sherman is not anything like Ray Lewis or any other player who has as violent off field life as they do on gameday.
Why hasn’t anybody talked about the clothesline hit a 49er in street clothes put on a Seahawk special teams player on the 9er sideline? That was far more egregious behavior, thuggish actually to use the word de jour, than anything Richard Sherman did last Sunday.
Sherman has a track record. He also did himself no favors be the tweets afterwards.
Face it, the dude is a jerk.
