I'm sure they correlate, but that doesn't mean it's an absolute. See: Ted Bundy. Borderline genius/serial rapist-killer.
For some reason - hell, I'll tell the reason - because Sherman is black, has dreadlocks and a big, opinionated mouth - he's been labeled as a racist and a thug in this thread and his guilt has already been declared.
The point I'm trying to make, here, is that Richard Sherman is a smart guy, based on his high school and college achievements, being on the NFLPA board for years and his philanthropic work.
He's being judged and labeled in this thread for all the wrong reasons and I find it disgusting.
