Seattle Seahawks football player Richard Sherman drew unwanted attention to himself on Sunday after an emotionaland some say unnecessarydisplay during a postgame interview.
Now he is turning the tables on his critics. On Wednesday, he responded to the many people who called him a thug for his behavior, saying, “The only reason it bothers me is because it seems like it’s the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays. It’s like everyone else said the N-word and they said ‘Thug’ and they’re like, ‘Ah, that’s fine.’ That’s where it kind of takes me aback and it’s kind of disappointing.”
