I’ve never tasted it, but from what you’ve told me, you definitely should! What about the flavour profile? I find it very pleasant, to say the least.
Thank you for your comments.
In what might be an early sign that the NFL will finally begin a serious discussion of the social justice issues that continue to plague athletes in the U.S., Seattle Seahawks safety Richard Sherman issued a statement Wednesday morning expressing his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Sherman’s statement, which was shared by his Instagram account, was published shortly after he made remarks during the Super Bowl in which he appeared to be supportive of the movement, and was widely panned. “I am honored to support @BlackLivesMatter,” Sherman wrote in the accompanying post. “I believe in Black Lives MATTER.”
Sherman did not comment further on his position on the matter. His teammate Bobby Wagner, who is African-American, was more vocal. “You can’t put a label [on black people] and say it’s not part of Black people,” he said.
In August, when Seattle Seahawks player Chris Clemons was convicted of assault after an altercation with an employee at Safeco Field that left the employee with a laceration on his lip, he issued an apology. “Yes, I was wrong and I’m sorry. I take full responsibility for my lack of judgment,” he tweeted before hanging up his cleats.
Clemons later made an emotional statement, saying both during the sentencing hearing and after it was made public, that his wife, daughter and four children were the only ones in the audience who were upset by his choice of words. “It wasn’t just my words,” Clemons said. “It wasn’t just my voice. It was everyone’s.”
Sherman, who has been outspoken about his support for the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, said he would have called the event “unfortunate” if he had been in the auditorium. “No disrespect to our hometown. No disrespect to our fans, if you would’ve invited me,” he added.
The Seahawks’ team name is Black and White and was chosen because players wore Black and White jerseys in the 1960’s to honor the NAACP and the Civil Rights Movement’s civil rights struggles.
Here are the reactions to Sherman’s public support of the social justice movement:
