This is truly frightening. Where is the real Richard Sherman and what did they do with him? Keith Olbermann is worried…and so am I. Whoever is behind this, the Seahawks, the NFL, the agent or publicist of Richard Sherman have literally taken the Richard Sherman we know and love (albeit WAY WAY WAY over-saturated with media coverage) and replaced with bizarro Richard Sherman.
“He’s more machine now than man,” as Obi-Wan Kenobi famously said. This is truly scary! We know Public/Media Relations reps always dehumanize people into corporate drones, but never this dramatically, and never so rapidly.
Watch the video below:
I’m 10 zillion times more offended and upset by this Richard Sherman interview than I ever was at the infamous and over-analyzed Richard Sherman postgame interview. This is disgusting. It’s a video filled with every “after school special” cliche and motivational speaker platitude and buzzword. It’s a shame. I really miss Richard Sherman already!
