quote:

Richard Sherman doesn't believe that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would stand up to an owner the way his NBA counterpart, Adam Silver, did when he banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life for making racist comments.


quote:

"Because we have an NFL team called the Redskins, I don't think the NFL really is as concerned as they show. The NFL is more of a bottom-line league. If it doesn't affect their bottom line, they're not as concerned. ” -- Richard Sherman, on the NFL's stance on racism


This is a hypothetical. Why even make this statement?

He should really just enjoy his limelight and money silently.

Because Richard Sherman wasn't in the news this week. Gotta say something to get back in that limelight baby.

And I'm convinced Goodell probably would've done worse. Illegally. And dropped the mic afterward.

I love Richard Sherman, and he's probably not far off base with what he said. Maybe he said it just to get people thinking/a conversation going. It's possible to throw ideas out there without being an attention whore.

Gets people talking about Richard Sherman as the draft approaches. The guy isn't dumb, he knows just how to stir the pot to get a reaction. The NFL's best troll.

It's not like he doesn't have a point either.

Maybe because he was asked his opinion on it? Did you even read the article you linked?

quote:

Asked in an interview with Time Magazine whether he thought Goodell would take the same stance as Silver, who has been widely praised for his decision to rid the NBA of Sterling, Sherman said, "No, I don't."

I'm late to this topic, but here's how I feel. I understand why people would want to drop rebels, the south lost the war and it's become taboo. But why change anything relating to the Indians? We won the war against them, why should we give a shite? To the victor go the spoils.

If Richard Sherman has probs with the NFL, then he can leave the money alone and GTFO.
