Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman took aim at NFL
commissioner Roger Goodell over the NFL's declining television
ratings, saying the league isn't fun because the NFL is not
allowing players to display their personalities.
Entering Week 9, Monday Night Football ratings are down 20
percent from last season, according to Nielsen data. The Sunday
Night Football package is down 18.5 percent and Thursday games
are down 21.8 percent.
"Because the league isn't fun anymore," Sherman told reporters.
"Every other league, you see the players have a good time. It's
a game. This isn't politics. This isn't justice. This is
entertainment. And they're no longer allowing the players to
entertain. "They're no longer allowing the players to show any
kind of personality, any kind of uniqueness, any individuality.
Because they want to control the product. They want to control
the messaging, etc., etc."
