Uh, I'm white and conservative and I don't have a problem with it. That said, I've also read more of the story and follow it closely. Sherm's only *sin* was that what he did will be spread to everybody while only about 5% of the people will read any follow-up story at all.

In the grand scheme of things I've seen athletes do, even just considering trash talking, what Sherm did was minor at worst. I'd rank Kaepernick mimicking the Superman move that Cam does as more insulting than what Sherm did.

I honestly think it has less to do with race and more to do with a general dislike of the Seahawks and this gives people something to hang on.

That Sherman interview was just the best thing that could have happened. The passion of that man is a sun-like source of energy! Haters gonna hate.

Geez, good way to be level headed! I agree pretty much, I just live in Northern california...so I've been hearing it all day, and ESPN is playing it out as Peyton the Angel Vs Sherm The Evil Villain. I'm starting to remember why I stopped watching ESPN, and started listening to KJR. BAH! lol

Listen, we all love Sherm. But this is the byproduct of his actions.

When he mouths off, he attracts ALL the attention away from the team and puts it on himself. So people can love his antics all they want, but this is the downside. The media isn't going to focus on the positive, they're going to focus on the negative..........cause that's what sells.

Sherm is the one who put himself out in front of the team in the first place. Blame the attention on him, not the media.

I should add that I'm not saying some of those tweets and things are racist or come from racist people (seriously, if you're dumb enough to use the n word in twitter then you're an idiot. The internet never forgets.). I just think you could swap about any person and any action, if you make it a big story, these people would be making the same comments.

I'm white and conservative, too. I have no problem at all with what Sherm did and does. I've always supported his right to say what is on his mind. It makes him a target and he backs it up.

As far as I'm concerned, if it makes Peyton Manning target him one or two extra times, I like Sherm's chances of getting a pick. I love it.

Richard Sherman = Razor Ramon!

I just hope there's no 1-2-3 Kid lurking out there some where. Not only did he come out of no where to be Ramon, but, let's be honest, he was pretty lame.

Yeah unfortunately, it's dominating the airwaves, forums and headlines today.

I almost forgot we just won the NFC championship, after a gritty team win.

Seriously, dude? You are displaying the same ignorance you are accusing other's of. White conservatives? Wow. I am a white conservative and loved Sherm's comments.

This is why discussions of "bias", "prejudice", "racism" are utterly hypocritical in this society. EVERYBODY generalizes.

And, yet, you won't be banned for your comments. What a mess we've made of justice.

Whatever, Go Hawks! Go Richard Sherman!

The media will not let it go, in fact I expect this story to be ramped up to Defcon 5 next week.

You are ridiculous sir, plenty of non white conservatives have expressed issues with how Sherman acted.

Shame on you for taking this route.
