Richard Sherman dropping truth bombs while coming to Cam's aid

Richard Sherman is already on the record as a Cam Newton supporter, but as Super Bowl 50 week kicks off and Newton is the No. 1 topic of discussion, Sherman is coming to Newton's defense again.

Sherman essentially dropped the mic on the "old-school" critics of Newton, not by saying anything inflammatory but by bringing some much-needed perspective to the discussion and snapping the critics back into realizing that football is a game and meant to be fun.

Here's what Sherman said on 710 ESPN Seattle:

"He hasn't done anything wrong to anyone. He hasn't done anything off the field or hurt anyone or committed a crime or done anything. He plays the game like a young kid, like a kid's supposed to play it. This is a game. This isn't life. This isn't government. This isn't military. This isn't anything that's that serious. I think people are taking it out of perspective.

"They're saying he's a bad example for kids. This is a kid's game. Unless he's cursing or putting the middle finger up or pulling his pants down or doing things like that, then I don't get what they're saying. The guy's going out there and playing as hard as he can, living the dream and treating it like that. He's honoring the game in his own way, and I think that old-school way of thinking is why the conversation is going so long."

I keep saying that team wouldn't be so easy to hate if it wasn't for their fans and Jesus Wilson's holier-than-thou act.

Cam newton makes brian gumble look like malcom x.

Outside of "a kid's game" everything is true. Football is a man's game, still a game but a man's game.

sitting here... waiting to see how long it will take for this to turn into a Russel Wilson hate thread.

There really isn't anything to hate about the Panthers other than the success they've had this season. Jealous and bitter fanbases who have never (or just rarely) experienced any success will hate your team for that reason alone. Just wait until you win the SB, it'll only get worse. And if you win another one next year or the year after? They'll hate you for at least a decade. 

Personally, I just love the game of football, and I enjoy watching teams with talent who go out there and have fun while dominating the opposition.

This is probably why there's that reported Riff, between Lynch and the defense against Wilson. Cause those guys are just REAL, and don't give a damn! LOL

Sherman should know after his comments Superbowl victory comments/tirade of what Cam's going through. . So you can understand him coming to Cam's defense.

Yeah, their fans are sure stupid. Cause, they'll still hate Cam and criticze his antics, though Sherman's dropping sensible knowledge (and has been accused of similar game related stuff as Cam). Go figure.

More respect for ya Mr. Sherman.

A Seahawks fan just threw a flaming bag of dog poo at Sherman's head for going against the grain when it comes to Cam.

These generalizations about other fan bases are ridiculous.
