As for the racial component ..... just click the link below for a sampling of some of the tweets that helped start that dialogue - should note that there is a bit of language there
Holy **** that link is bad. Makes me glad I dont "tweet" regularly with people or search out stuff on that place. World is a horrible place full of internet trolls. Not one of those would say that to his face or any black persons face. Pure scum.

But Mr Sherman and his teammates delivered one of the most emphatic 'shut the bleep up's!" in Superbowl History
And further, those so called intelligent tweeters don't have a Superbowl trophy to back up their remarks, either...I know, Sherman didn't win the game alone, but I feel very glad for him, Seattle, and the Seahawks today
Plenty of people do, especially coaches and scouts. Sherman is very, very good, but he's "not half as good as he thinks he is" (a quote direct from an NFL defensive backs coach) and there are at least three players...Revis, Haden and Peterson...who are unquestionably better. A guy I know compared him to Jonathan Joesph, another very good corner who doesn't get the pub that Sherman does.
By all accounts, Sherman seems like a genuinely good person off the field and some of the criticism leveled towards him was remarkably unfair. That said, you can't act like that in a high visibility position and not expect that kind of blowback. Sherman is a smart guy and knows, or should know this.
More jokes
Tell me again about how Seattle plays a Tampa 2 and that Sherman doesn't impact games

It's getting really quite funny
You should keep up with the arguments better. You were the one who tried to tell us Seattle ran a base man coverage scheme (they don't, they're a base Cover 3 team). They run a cover 2 shell or cover 4 in 3rd and long situations. They did run more Tampa 2 coverages last year though, so that information was slightly outdated and corrected with some film review.
I'm honestly shocked that you're trying to talk high level football analysis when you can't even decipher the difference between man and zone coverages. This is high school football stuff here.

No they don't
You are wrong in that you don't watch this team
Suck it up junior ... you know nothing about what you talk about
You seriously talking about film review? .... yeah, like you're doing that for seahawks games
Enjoy your day .... I'll definitely be smiling through mine

You are right that those people commenting are terribly racist. That does bother me. Anyone who thinks Richard Sherman is dumb or a hoodlum is blind, deaf and/or dumb. But that does NOT excuse his behavior.
The guy has a degree from Standord and is clearly a well spoken individual. I also believe that one on one he is probably a good guy. It is just that in the heat of the moment he needs to cool his jets. I hope as he matures he gets more composure and less ego.
Like I said before, the only worse thing than a sore loser is a sore winner. And that is how Sherman acted after the dramatic and skillful victory over the 49'ers. You just showed the world what you can do on the field. No need to be an obnoxious d*&k after the fact.
To be sure, the biggest thug (or most violent) culture in professional sports is the National Hockey League.

Really?

Nowhere have Carroll’s adaptations been more successful than with Seattle’s pass defense, led by the so-called Legion of Boom. The unit led the NFL in every conceivable metric this season, which is only surprising given how often the Seahawks use one of the oldest, most basic pass coverages in all of football: Cover Three. And they don’t simply use it; they use it to shut opponents down.
Also known as Three-Deep zone coverage, Cover Three is a fundamental defensive building block; almost every high school team in the country runs some version. As the name implies, three defenders drop and divide the field into three deep zones — typically the two cornerbacks on the outsides and the free safety in the middle — while four other defenders drop to defend underneath passes as the remainder rush the QB. This coverage is sound against the pass and allows an extra defender to come up to stop the run, but it’s also conservative, which is why veteran NFL quarterbacks tend to carve it up and thus why it’s not commonly used in the NFL on passing downs
The funny thing, though, is that he manages to do this with one of the more basic defensive schemes in the field in the Cover 3 scheme, or as Matt Bowenputs it, "a defense taught at the high school level that is still prevalent on Sundays."
But it’s their Cover 3 scheme (and technique) that we need to discuss. Think of a zone shell (three-deep, four-under) with Thomas in the deep middle of the field. This is a basic zone coverage, but no one in the NFL runs it as much as the Seahawks.
But who should listen to those guys, right? Chancellor only plays in that defense and Bowen played with Gregg Williams who used a very similar coverage scheme.
Congrats on being one of the few people in the football world who couldn't decipher one of the league's most basic coverage schemes!
All of this talk about what types of coverage Seattle plays does not change the fact that they were clearly the better team last night and they smacked Denver in the mouth and Denver had nothing to respond with.
