Richard Sherman has decided to chime in on Monday Morning Quarterback
is a really really good writer at the scene summer Richard Sherman's work
I mean he he's great I know but I read a I really think he wrote
at Stanford where they have this thing in Stanford in the dorm rooms where they
they wake the freshman up at like six in the morning and make him go outside and
do some non senator
yeah it's like its printer stand for tradition and then a bunch people
complained
upperclassman I think complain because they like having examined you to do this
stupid thing
and Sherman wrote an email about down the complaints were
and this is attrition I it was funny yeah it up
a bad guy I'll I have to find however this was not funny this will
pretty damn serious but it the way that he wrote it again was just brilliant so
basically he's discussing how to Shawn Jackson is being painted in a negative
light because the
so-called gang ties and whatnot so here are a few excerpts and then
we will react to be a the Monday Morning Quarterback and then QB dot com
I look at those words gang ties and I think about all the players I've met in
the NFL
and all of us who come from inner-city neighborhoods like mine in LA
and I wonder how many ways can honestly say we're not friends with guys doing
the wrong things i cant
those men with the Sean in the shop in the social pictures
and the police report word his closet friends in childhood
but when his father died in a few people were there from they were there
when a tragic event like that happens the people who are around
are the people who are around and they were there for him
so that's one part your reaction is
what my reaction is that the Richard Sherman is totally right but we
shouldn't even have to really defend
like defend what exactly discharge action shouldn't have to defend himself
after you read that story and you realize the discharge action
was acquainted with one guy accused in a horrible murder
over fourteen year old kid on a bicycle will flash the wrong excites
ago was charged a friend to discharge action
and then I don't know how relevant this is I feel like it's pretty relevant
it was a quick right so
I don't think to Cheyenne Jackson was showing
meant to show disrespect to the family have the kid who was killed
I think he was standing up for his friend who again was acquitted
so this jump chance he didn't do it now maybe that kid got guy
that guy was may well have been the gang I don't help but
and he put pictures up on Instagram and Facebook I guess when there's a murder
charge
like again like Richard Sherman
saying that Michael Crabtree is a sorry ass player
like don't say that not a big deal
doesn't mean you're terrible guy as as Richard Sherman acknowledge not not my
finest moment right
and a judge action probably for a murder suspect should be put up pictures on
Instagram
because it seems disrespectful to this horrible tragedy and that but that said
it's different when you have a connection and a history with someone it
is different but also did not know that
makes you a gang member not have those things make you a gang member
it's just behavior that you think a more mature person would not do
keep in mind these guys are incredibly of reso for
become so that's the first thing is that and article and the way whoever pitch
that article
ends up making it seem as here's another black guy in the NFL
who's involved with these kind of people and you just think gang-related and the
associational be
he's gay and then they talk about that he flashed gang signals
at DeAngelo Hall arm
during that per season opener this year which is the other accusation he made
so I don't know and then and any other case was a building in LA owned by
Jackson
where a murder took place but I mean he there
he wasn't there he wasn't in town had nothing to do with that it's like
I mean we don't when the people raped like the police
and everyone else has a right to investigate but we should not say that
he absolutely was involved even though it took place in his facility it's not a
again not in a story that suggest that he is gang connections that doesn't mean
you have a gang connection
and it ended beans disorder racial stereotyping
we just did a segment on the worst downturn pro sports Dan Snyder
among the second-worst dollars although he's clearly gotten a little better
merely by the success of the team is down sterling be I ons that
the Clippers in a slum lord I wager
Rd murder has he owns a ton to billings I don't know
so forgive me I'm gonna guess that a crime has been committed in those
buildings
but nobody talks about how dans out down sterling
has been gang connections and they never would even if there were a gang murder
wheels plenty a bill quite so he didn't know nobody
and then you know and and another factor that story was initial reports about
that DD at discharge at a two hundred thousand dollars stolen from them
in his house which suggests again there's that suggest nefarious activity
US
quarter-million dollars in the house he did it was twenty thousand dollars
that's a lot of money to have the house there have been times I've had that much
money in the house right to pay a contractor but like
that was a day right yet but whatever 20,000 for a guy who wants to keep a
lotta cash on hand for a guy who makes that much money
and probably like to go out with his friends and have a great time and might
blow through ten thousand dollars a night
again as make you a gang but all the put all those things together
and you build this case is there something wrong with the charge action
as opposed to the things which seem very clearly the wrong with John Jackson
which is that at times you can be a super pain in the ass teaming sure
and you know reports about this lee indicated that he classes with coaches
burghley in 10 but I'll tell you not to resume here
getting back on topic when we talk about gain ties
number crawl Buckhalter covered this yesterday in a piece I did
never corral Buckhalter was with Brian Westbrook with the Eagles they did
prayer asking hiya very solid needed either
a two things every year who but
doors and ACL yeah or fumble in a critical situation
that was at lol and then in between he carried the ball 17 times for 140 yards
like a little girl all over so many jobs near bob Bennett a solid do all right
there in the backfield but here's the thing:
when we talk about gaining ties his brother is like
in prison for murder so he has gained I'm right because like
because he just happens to be in the situation where his brother committed a
crime so technically he's linked
even though he didn't do anything be hell sons dad is a hit man
kill a federal judge yeah lend us but we all sin is a
no because it to hit Matt Woody Harrelson tied to organized crime
I'll pet Monteith I can't I followed as I part it was crazy right committing on
Richard Sherman on Riley Cooper this offseason every sign a player who was
caught on video streaming I will fight every
'n.-word in here I don't say the N word ever in pieces by the way people left
but a
he was representing the Eagles when he said it because a course
everything we do is reflective of the organization but what did they do to
Riley Cooper who it is not a racist
at least has quote highs to racist activity
they find him and send him the counseling no suspension necessary for
Cooper
no punishment from the NFL despite its new interest in policing are USU the N
word on the field
Riley instead got a few days off from training camp and a nice contract in the
offseason to
we had a nice year yeah he did he did to now is a
pivotal point in their offense but on that i'm gonna yep
so what does things aren't the same and of course the usual word is not let's
pretend all things are true
we know that thanks to a bar at Cooper yes AB video preview did have actual
ties to a gang
we get a description by the way we cover that yep if you did I
ties to a gang significant ties to a gang
that it was involved in the murder fourteen year old child
it's a lot worst than men say me and were even
the day the N word bad likely he is writing the weather is bad
and what radical but it was hideous his apology which Richard Sherman leaves out
was outstanding you gotta yeah it was really sup nigga but great apologies a
lot in on skype a lot about you know it was very good
that said he do it any appear to be accepted back by number is black
teammates one of the nice things that my connected with Swiss
stand up big time for my pic also knew that he had to be a team leader
because his job was in jeopardy it didn't seem like it felt that he did not
you know
now not at all to me it seems legitimate locker
was that was because it Carrie Williams at a farm in practice
on Jim Irsay look at the way many in the media wrote about dinner set
at urs DUI arrest nobody suggests that the Colts owner quote had highs
to drug trafficking even though he was caught driving under
it is me he was caught driving with controlled substances
prescription pills and twenty nine thousand dollars in cash
to do who knows what with he had more money in a settlement here
instead poor millionaire mister years they need help some row
here the juror say had more
money in his car the dish on jack has stolen from his house
woohoo so what does that say mister maker its what it says is
they were very comfortable with you know when when people talk about
you know you don't have to be if you use the N-word to be a racist
or to be gracious to soloing to
use negative racial language
days weeks and the outer racial most well not quite
races but racial is yeah and you know nobody talks about white guys being
involved in organized crime or
with gang ties but and Orthop res thug culture which came out subtly the bridge
chairman justice like is couldn't be less about
dog right but the language matters
and when people use that language they use it about black guys because they're
comfortable with it
and it suggests a certain kinda thing that makes
a lot a white people uncomfortable and all makes them uncomfortable I
I'll why does it make them uncomfortable yeah
because they're afraid a bit because it's different it's a threat to the
things that they know and love in the threat to they think to their safety
because it's so different and you know and that's that's as old as there since
they've been people that we have and look which is a country that Intel
you know 1865 and slate black people until 1965
barred them by law from voting nap
so it's not the end it's not that long just at forty nine years ago
you know they're they're people who lived through that so its you look at
getting indexed getting better
and demand by the way this isn't to say that did
did there are black bears who act like fools
and hand and and and and again act foolishly
act like idiots and should be described as acting like idiots
little act like idiots because the pigmentation others get
I'll and but so you know and then out to me always gets to it do you
do you honestly think that someone is behaving a certain way
because of the different tone in their skin that that causes behavior to be
different
not now of course that day but when you put it that way becomes is
as silly as it is and so there are probably football players who have ties
to gangs
but we should only refer to those players as football players with gang
ties
and not and not more trying to do a character assassination
to get off the hawk with fans to justify releasing a player that you want to
jettison because he said legitimate pain in the ass which seems to be the case
with John Jackson
is a pain in the ass if you want to read the rest of the article by the way and
