Sports fans can be an irrational group of people at times. That’s on full display in this video of a Seahawks fan burning his Richard Sherman jersey after Sherman signed with the 49ers.
The move is a wild one. Sherman was released by the Seahawks against his will. He didn’t demand to be released or traded. They moved on. Where’s the Seahawks loyalty to Sherman?
So if Sherman wants to move on and sign with a team in the same division, he’s free to so so, that’s not being a traitor. This is what can happen when you release a guy.
But keep burning jerseys that you paid money for. That will show him!
