In which Carpenter's wife threatens Sherman with castration

[Bobblehead]

Well if it hasn't been mentioned, She has since sent out an apology to Sherman as to which he called BS.


One of those .. commit the crime, with the excusing apology.

Sherman is just too cool.

Why does Sherman make everything about race?

 

[TestMo1337]

It's about race because the historical context.

Rather than write it here, I recommend that you do a search on your own and decide if there's some relevant contextual history of her tweet and the skin color of the person she targeted.

No claims that JJ Watt or Clay Matthews is an animal and suggests they get castrated when they get a late hit (legal or not).

Ok i like sherman, but give me a break, it wasnt about racism. Sounded more like a sexist remark than anything else. Pathetic pulling the race card there

So sick of people looking for racism when its not there.

I'm curious if she would have posted the same thing if a white player (with a less 'thuggish' reputation) had done it? She is a hick from Montana...

What a bigot, she does not sound like a nice person at all. That apology wasn't sincere.

She gives folks from Montana a bad name then, almost everyone I met from Montana has been super cool. She is the outlier.

If she was black and sherman was white would anyone say it was racist? No im not defending her, it was a stupid remark, but it sounds like she just thinks sherman laid a cheap shot, and he already has a reputation as the bad guy.

Yes, she may be stupid for jumping to conclusions and it was insulting, but not racist. Think about it, shes refering to his percieved aggression, its the national narrative.

Wow. If a male made a similar statement about a woman, he would be hounded by social media and vilified into oblivion.

This is so true. I wonder why society doesn't react as badly when a male is the subject.

INCORRECT

I personally suspect she wasn't being racist as she's probably too stupid to get the context.

 

[SeaChickN]

I'm tired of giving people a break for being ignorant. ignorance is a choice.

This is probably the case. She was more than likely alluding to livestock, but in the south back when slaves were still a thing, it was common for them to be castrated.

I think we've had our fill of Mrs. Carpenter's tweet.
