Directed fundraiser to buy
disabled vet a home
REFERRED TO AS A THUG

Under Bieber it says:
International Pop Star
Caught Peeing in Bucket yelling "F**K Bill Clinton"
Arrested for (underage) DUI, pot, and resisting arrest
Stood on balcony and spit on fans
REFERRED TO AS A MISGUIDED KID
These charts are used to race-bait but they are always invalid because it is never the same people making the claims in both groups. This comparison really struck me because I just can't imagine anyone referring to Bieber is a misguided kid. As an aside, it is Sherman that made a big thing about the term "thug". Sure, he was called everything under the sun including "thug" but he put the focus on that term stating it offended him.

Sherman is "educated", so his actions are more troublesome. Bieber is just a brat trying to be a Rapper. How many Stanford graduates would act in the ghetto manner Sherman did?

In these circumstances, I would cut some slack to Sherman because he was caught up in the passion of the game. It was a very climatic ending.

But, as a little league coach told me when I was a kid and I told the kids I coached and millions of others have been told "act like you have been there before".

I agree but Sherman went into the locker room, showered and still acted like that in his press conference. That's just the kind of ghetto individual he is. Which is why I don't need a microphone in front of athletes mouths. They make a living with a ball in their hands.

So before Sherman's outburst,did anybody know who Sherman was?
Did Sherman have routine of acting like that in front of the camera before last Sunday?
I can name 5 events in the last month for Justin Bieber.

So was every other player on the field and on camera. Did any of them go ape**** and rant about how great they themselves were? Did any of them put themselves on a pedestal far above the rest of their team, and maybe even above all others?

When people are under stress of any kind, they respond in a manner closest to their true identity.

Bieber is a wannabe thug who could present himself in any way he chooses. He chooses to emulate thug life.
