I certainly get what you're saying, and if the title was Richard Sherman = evil person, or Richard Sherman = worse than the lowest of the low murdering/drunk driving NFL scum, I would agree with you wholeheartedly.
But my point is that Sherman's outburst seems to be symptomatic of a character flaw of his. This isn't a lone incident. Sherman is (probably, I doubt many people on this board have truly had enough personal interaction with him to know) a good guy who did a bad thing, and has done similar bad things often.
And I don't think discussing that is ugly, or racist, or out of bounds.
