Great article Yet, when one kid who has overcome everything, one kid who was doubted by the very player he overcame on Sunday, decides to emphatically claim he is the best (by the way: he is), this is what upsets us? Man, could you imagine if this generation had to deal with Muhammad Ali? Last night, when Richard Sherman went on his rant to Erin Andrews, most of America thought they were learning about the arrogance of another NFL player. But in reality, what Richard Sherman did was teach us about ourselves. He taught us that were still a country that isnt ready for lower-class Americans from neighborhoods like Compton to succeed. Were still a country that cant decipher a persons character. But most of all, he taught us that no matter what you overcome in your life, were still a country that cant accept someone if theyre a little louder, a little prouder, or a little different from the people we surround ourselves with.
