Here is an article that explains it pretty well...

22 Brief Thoughts About Richard Sherman's Interview

I give Sherman a pass. He is NOT a thug. No one can convince me otherwise.

Sherman own words and explanation makes him classless. Crabtree didn’t say anything to him but pushed him off and walked away and Sherman decides thats enough to go off? He then use the choke sign towards Colin, the game is over he needs to celebrate with his team instead of rubbing it in to the opposing team that just lost on basically a last play of the game. He then explains how great he is.

Good article. The writer seems to know what's what.

This jaw-jacking goes on all the time between the opposition, especially between DBs vs. Receivers. I see that many people don't seem to know what or that it does go on. The smack talk motivates the players to play at a high level - an edge. If you want to win, being nice on the football field doesn't cut it. In other words, it's a winning 'tude, in Sherman's mind and many other players. What people saw was an unvarnished look at the minds of what players are thinking while they are on the playing, field, especially in the NFL.

Sherman is only guilty of expressing his emotions and thoughts only moments before winning a trip to the Super Bowl and defeating his opposition in battle.

From the article - 6. In other words, he might have just been auditioning for the WWE

I thought the same and I was amused LoL, and I understood the man's mindset. The reporterette seemed to be taken back by it, and was probably not the best person to do that interview moments after the heat on the plays.

You are right, Sherman is not a thug. He was raised by hardworking parents who made sure he got an education and got out of Watts/Compton. This is the guy black families should be using as a role model. He lost his temper yesterday, but that one act in not indicative of the person he is.

Thank you! The guy just single handedly sent his team to the Super Bowl so I’d expect him to be off the charts amped up.

And I hope they squeek by the Broncos, it’ll be tough.
I am sooooooo sick of “OMAHA”………...
