Count Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman among those who think the NFL would be wrong to pass a new rule against players using the N-word on the field. Asked about the proposal to make use of the N-word an automatic 15-yard penalty, Sherman told Peter King of TheMMQB.com that the NFL would be making a serious mistake if it passed such a rule. “It’s an atrocious idea,” said Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman. “It’s almost racist, to me. It’s weird they’re targeting one specific word. Why wouldn’t all curse words be banned then?” Source: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...lls-nfl-banning-the-n-word-an-atrocious-idea/
