Everyone and their mother has been speaking about Richard Sherman and his actions against wide receiver Michael Crabtree of the San Francisco 49ers.
The beautiful thing is that Sherman has been allowed to think about this firestorm of attention and write for Sports Illustrated's MMQB. In his most recent post, Sherman talks about the things that he learned after America discovered him. It's definitely some riveting commentary:

If I could pass a lesson on to the kids it would be this: Don’t attack anybody. I shouldn’t have attacked Michael Crabtree the way I did.

Sherman even talked about Race and the factor it played in the discussion in social media and in general:
None
Let's hope Sherman puts together a book eventually.
