    Maybe there are too many thugs that are black these days. Knock-out game isn't helping.

    Life was so much easier without all these PC codes, used to be if someone wanted to say something they just did, now you say something and it means ten different things. Does anyone even have a copy of the PC code book? That might make life easier...

    I have no idea what you mean.

    The thugs were a criminal gang in India.

    Indians are not white.

    Alright, we gotta come up with a better word to describe Sherman. What shall it be? ******** is pretty non-racist.

    Paul Wall is probably the biggest thug of them all. Hes white.

    Slim Thug is a rapper. Does Sherman think his name is code for Slim (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)?

    Way to deflect from the criticism and claim racism. Obama has taught him well.

    To me, thug and trash are interchangeable in most instances. We can call you trash if you wish?

    " THUGS" come in all colors. Feel free to try to play the race card to justify the Soon-to-be-SCORCHED Sherman's childish ranting.

    He's a PUNK,and NO ONE CARES what "color" he is; it's his MOUTH that has people calling him a "thug".


    Once the "Legion of Boom" get stampeded by the "Legion of Zoom" (five guys with TEN or MORE TDs,. being served the ball by The Sheriff himself), he wll be another embarassing footnote, of the LOSING TEAM...

    And calling him a thug for being amped after a huge play in a huge game is ignorant, particularly when you consider factual info about Sherman...

    Paul Wall ain't a thug either...lol

    No more ignorant than Sherman playing the black victim when he is called a thug.

    First of all, SHERMAN DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY; his teammate did.

    Being "pumped" is no excuse for his idiotic mouth; I'm oretty sure that RUSSEL WILSON was also "pumped", after the game.

    Second, it is not the FIRST TIME that the PUNK has shown his utter lack of class.

    Don't worry...he has NEVER FACED an offense like the Broncos, or a QB like Manning, in a game that counts. EVER.

    We'll see what the Mouth of the Shehawks has to say AFTER the massive SCORCHING he will take.

    He will be absolutely FLAMED by Demaryius Thomas, etal. He is nothing but a big-mouthed pipsqueak.

    I generally call anyone who acts like a gang banger, a thug. I know a lot of white thugs, in fact I probably use it more on white people then any other race. Its an old word, its race neutral.

    I'd like to see how many white people are called "thugs". I'd also like to know why Crabtree seemed to think that Sherman was attacking him. Both are based on stereotypes.

    Considering how many racist types called Trayvon Martin "Thugvon", I don't even think it's 'code' anymore... I think it's pretty transparent.

    Sherm did make the play, he deflected that pass. I do agree, he will burnt in the superbowl. After watching a rookie TY hilton torch him, I have no doubt these vets with Manning throwing them the ball will make short work of him.

    So why is Sherman called a Thug for yelling during a post game interview after a huge game.... Yet the NHL teams Calgary flames and Vancouver Canucks recently had a game where right after the face off they immediately started fighting. 8 were ejected.... No one calls them thugs... Wonder why?

    Lol, we both know if Hockey was a sport with mostly black players, it would be called a "thug sport". However, because it's a sport with mostly white players, the fighting is just considered "part of the game".

    I love Hockey, btw, I just loathe these clear double standards.

    Most racial slurs are actually race neutral. It's society that sticks a race with a word.

    The N word is technically race neutral as well but there is no doubt in anyones mind what race that refers to.

    So what if it is?

    Are we not allowed to speak how we feel?

    If it bothers anyone they can try and get it listed in the "Hate Crime Keywords" list, and then they can call each other by that name while complaining when someone of a different race does so. No reason to stop the cycle.

    Some people are always looking for racism, and will find it wherever they can.

    Al Capone was called a thug, but he wasn't black.

    Sure, you can speak how you feel.

    However, when someone calls you right wingers out on your racist drivel, don't be upset when we are speaking how we feel.
