Richard Sherman, Hero or Villian?

2 weeks ago the NFC Championship game was played in Seattle.  It was decided on an interception in the end-zone with time running out.  Richard Sherman made a great play on the ball to swat the ball away into his teammates hands for the game winning interception.  After the game with emotions running high Sherman was interviewed by Erin Andrews.  In the interview he continued to talk trash about Michael Crabtree the receiver who he covered during the game.  This wasn't the first instance of Sherman getting into it with other people involve with football.  Earlier this season he had gotten into a confrontation with Tom Brady, told Skip Bayless, a sports journalist, that "I am better than you at life," and has consistently been involved in social media trash talking. 

This causes many people to think that Sherman is a thug, arrogant, and over confident.  However few people really know his story or accomplishments.  Sherman was born and raised in Compton, California and was the salutatorian of his high school class. He then went on to Stanford University where he was an All-American in football, a standout track star, and earned his masters in communications.  On top of these accomplishments Sherman also has been known for being one of the most charitable players in the NFL.  He has contributed to and started numerous charities, done numerous things for veterans, and attended numerous community events. 

With Sherman showing two different people on and off the field it makes many people question what type of person he is.  I think that Sherman ultimately is a good person, but I don't really like him due to the way he acts around football related issues.
