Richard Sherman
What was the accusation?
Following a press conference on December 20, 2016, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman confronted Jim Moore of 710 ESPN Seattle for questioning the merit of Sherman’s outburst directed at his coaches during a recent game. Sherman reportedly told Moore that by “[going] there,” he would “ruin [Moore’s] career” by “[making] sure [Moore wouldn’t] get [his] media pass anymore.” Later that same day, Sherman apologized via Twitter for his remarks to Moore.
