One thing is really p*ssing me off.
The use of the word "thug" being clearly substituted for other less savory terms.
What appears to be a constant is that very very rarely do you see anyone that is white get labeled as one. I cannot think of one guy that is white that gets called that and is in sports or even a public figure, maybe Richie Incognito (who everyone was trying to label as "almost black" btw).
So let's pretend that it isn't happening on Martin Luther King Jr Day. I might be white as the driven snow, but I recognize BS when I see it and when articulate, intelligent people get called thugs because they are overly emotional or act like a jerk (Manziel does far worse and nobody labels him that, instead he gets called a pr*ck because nobody calls white kids thugs unless they live in Lynnwood and then that is only said with sarcasm).
Richard Sherman is brash and vocal, and he might even be a jerk but the knee jerk vaguely obscured racism is just pathetic. Especially from supposed 49ers fans that were crowing about knowing good football and ripping us for not being classy.
I see plenty of white athletes with tats that don't get that label, but the moment one black or brown kid gets a few tats and starts being too emotional, suddenly he is a thug. Anyone that says that? Up theirs. Seriously.
