Backtalk: Times readers sound off on Richard Sherman, Seahawks’ Color Rush uniforms and Sounders’ MLS Cup win

Matt Calkins’ column on Richard Sherman’s latest sideline outburst simply is an illustration of what’s known as the chickens coming home to roost. The Seahawks have enabled Sherman’s bad behavior too many times to have any reason to dislike any of his behavior for the rest of Sherman’s time in Seattle.

Sherman’s outburst is offensive

Richard Sherman quickly is going from one of the most popular and marketable players to an outright problem. His overinflated self-worth is beginning to show and probably grinding on the other players and coaches. To suggest that his play (he termed it “sacrifice”) endows him with the authority to berate coaches for offensive play calls is just … offensive.
