Richard Sherman mocks NFL for media, player safety policies
Richard Sherman is pretty savvy when it comes to dealing with the media.
On Tuesday, the Seahawks cornerback used his press conference to mock the NFL for its media policies and it's supposed concerns over player safety despite scheduling two games in five days for the six teams that are playing on Thanksgiving, a group that includes Seattle.
Sherman was joined by Seahawks teammate Doug Baldwin in his performance, with Baldwin holding up a cardboard cutout of himself while crouching behind the podium.
'It sounds like we're in league where they say, 'Players, you don't endorse any alcohol - please don't endorse alcohol, no DUIs please.' But yet a beer sponsor is their biggest sponsor. Doug, how do you feel about that,' Sherman asked.
'Sounds pretty hypocritical to me,' Baldwin said.
Sherman continued to throw darts at the NFL's shield during his 2:30 media availability - dropping in the names of some of his personal sponsors - with his teammate Marshawn Lynch's $100,000 fine serving as the impetus for his show.
'This is how they want us to talk, right? This is what they want us to to - to advertise,' Sherman said.
'Gotta make some money, gotta not get fined.'
The NFL will probably find a way to fine the duo.
