The addition of cornerback Richard Sherman to the San Francisco 49ers secondary raises plenty of raw emotions for some fans. One incident that plenty of 49ers fans remember was Thanksgiving 2014. The 49ers hosted the Seattle Seahawks that night, and after Seattle won, Sherman and Russell Wilson ate some turkey on the 50-yard line.
The idea of an opposing player eating turkey in the middle of a rival’s field got plenty of people fired up, and some have never forgiven that. And yet, it should not surprise anybody that it was a television producer’s idea.
