From a national sportswriting perspective there really weren't that many articles attacking Sherman was there? felt like there was a zillion pieces rushed out to defend him from a backlash that never really came. not even Rick Reilly or Gregg Easterbrook bit on that. My issues with Sherman lie in 1) calling out Crabtree when really Kaepernick should've known to throw it out the back of the endzone (the ball was underthrown, play didn't have much to do with Crabtree really), and then 2) buying like a million bucks worth of gold-plated Beats headphones (which is offensive to the audiophile part of me)

the word 'thug' was used in an awful lot of articles that were defensive about him too. don't necessarily see how "lots of people said thug on TV = wow so much racism about Richard Sherman"

believe this 100%
as usual darragh is flat0out wrong, "thug" is certainly one of the more coded epithets here as well, though not only in a racial way
― lex pretend, Friday, 31 January 2014 15:21 (ten years ago) link
you guys invented 'thug'!
well not invented, but it's a colonial term, right?

my half-joshing point was mainly don't crack on that you have no racial epithets of yr own tho

just think that using closed caption transcripts as a way of determining truths about U.S. racial relations is a pretty lazy way of thinking especially when for all we know the word "thug" showed up on TV for the same reason it's showing up on this thread over and over
