 After making the game saving play that would send the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl, Richard Sherman yelled really loudly on national TV, and it was like a bomb detonating. Twitter went nuts. Everybody had some idea of who Richard Sherman was supposed to be. We seem to need our athletes to be one thing or another. They are kind of Rorschach test. We project onto them our hopes for heroes or our cynicism about the corporatized and corrupted world of professional sports. It is very hard for any of us, for a sports writer or for a fan, to let a human be a human, a complicated person who is ultimately impossible to understand.
