To: I want the USA back
as far as football, I've grown to despise the Hawks even though I live in the state...the hype is just too much..

the Hawks got where they are thru suspicious non calls in many games...dirty players....

what with this meaningless "deflate" silliness...the Pats had new balls to play in the second half of their game and that's when they really trounced the Colts....and the 1:30 am fire alarm at their hotel, TPTB are building up to a Hawks win just as planned...

does anybody not think the fix is in?.....

HS sports and some college sports seem to be the only legit sporting outlet....I don't know if I even trust Nascar....

and Richard Sherman has a lot of gall to talk about fairness......white kids can't get scholarships nor jobs and are automatically eliminated of most things because of their skin....where the heck is the fairness in that?

To: cherry

I’m not a football fan either but I live in Washington and as you know Seahawks and the 12th man are huge here.
So this week I started reading about some of the players. I was especially impressed with Richard Sherman who comes from Compton but has 2 parents who are still married and actually work, graduated #2 in his high school class and yes, got a scholarship to Stanford but deserved it. He graduated from Stanford with a degree in communications, which is quite funny! But was working on his master’s when Seahawks drafted him.
While I agree that most football scholarships are disproportionately awarded, I think his was righteous. He does talk a lot but he also studies a lot so I think in his case he has a right to talk fairness.
