Richard Sherman is in headlines across various media outlets in America this week. However, it is for all the wrong reasons. The San Francisco 49ers star was arrested on Wednesday from his wife’s parents’ residence in Redmond, Washington. Why? As per the Redmond Police Department, Sherman is facing several charges, including one on suspicion of burglary domestic violence, after a 911 distress call from his wife.
The former Seattle Seahawks cornerback has a history of verbal and physical outbursts, on the football field and off it as well. Memorably, fans will recall his beef with retired NFL wide receiver, Michael Crabtree. The feud occurred during the NFC Championship Game in 2014 as the Seahawks came from behind to beat the Niners and reach the Super Bowl.

Sherman called Michael a ‘sorry receiver’ for which he received major pushback in the weeks to follow, especially from the 49ers fanbase.
