Seahawks’ Richard Sherman slams NFL, calls it a ‘bottom-line business’

In a striking video posted to The Players' Tribune, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman called out the NFL for being a 'bottom line business'.

In a video posted to the Players’ Tribune on Thursday morning, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman called out the NFL for not taking care of its players, saying the league is a “bottom-line business.”

Sherman didn’t stop there. “I feel like I have a voice, and I have the mindset and the courage to come out and say something about it. So, I’m gonna say it,” he wrote on the Players’ Tribune website.

First, he questioned how the league manages its player-safety concerns, recalling Panthers quarterback Cam Newton writhing on the turf after a shot to the head in Week 1.
