Whatever. Everyone needs to move on. He apologized so leave it at that. At least he didn’t drop a bunch of F bombs.
First, he did not apologize. Read the multiple articles. He was attempting to rationalize his behavior. Thousands of words explaining this and that, when two words would have sufficed -- "I'm sorry."
No one is stupid enough to believe that his statement, "things could have been worded better" is equivalent to an apology.
If he truly apologized for then it WOULD be over.
But now he's blaming racists for calling him a thug, instead of admitting that he DID act like a thug. He's hurt because people are saying he reverted to his inner-city, Compton roots. Well, HE DID.
If I were Sherman, I'd be gracious rather than accusatory. I'd cut my hair. And I'd take some training in how to be a gentleman over the offseason so he can truly leave the thug-bred-in-Compton roots behind and act like a Stanford gentleman.
Whatever. Everyone needs to move on.
A bit too late for that. He’s managed to make the SB all about him. I wonder how his teammates feel about that. It’s like they no longer even exist. They should rename it the Richard Sherman Bowl.
