Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said he was bothered and disappointed that he was called a “thug” after his crazed post-game rant on Sundaybecause he said it seems like “thug” is the “accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays.”
“The only reason it bothers me is because it seems like it’s the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays,” Sherman said in a press conference on Wednesday. “There was a hockey game where they didn’t even play hockey, they just threw the puck aside and started fighting. I saw that, and said, ‘Oh man, I’m the thug? What’s going on here?'”
There is nothing Richard Sherman, the straight-A student from Stanford who was the first student in over 20 years from Compton’s Dominguez High School who was good enough on the field and in the classroom to attend one of the most selective and prestigious universities in the world that regularly rejects the nation’s top athletes because they do not meet academic requirements, has done off the field that would lead one to believe he was in any way a thug.
