Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala is a huge 49ers fan. He took over the team’s official Twitter account during a preseason game, and teased Stephen Curry after the 49ers beat Curry’s favorite team last Sunday in Charlotte.
That probably explains these tweets, at least partially.
Niggardomn is like roaches…

We just got set back 500 years…

Based on the timing of Iguodala’s tweets, he was almost certainly referring to Richard Sherman’s postgame interview with Erin Andrews where he ripped Michael Crabtree:

Richard Sherman is a punk. Yes, he’s one of the best CB’s in the NFL, but you have to be a more gracious winner in those situations. Yes, he was emotional after that last play and we all know he dislikes Harbaugh and I guess Crabtree too, but c’mon man, don’t scream like a child in a postgame interview. Even Erin Andrews looked embarrassed.
I really hope the Broncos crush the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. I hope they win by 30! Screw the Seahawks!
Sherman made a good play on a poorly thrown ball. Good for him. I can see being excited in the moment, but his comments to Erin Andrews were appalling and his comments in the post game presser about Crabtree reveal a true lack of character. Yet, fans will support him because he is one of theirs. – after all these years, the human race is still pretty tribal when push comes to shove.
The NFL should fine this idiot!!! After all, he is representing the league at that moment. Kids are watching this game all over the country. By allowing this moron to speak like that on national TV is basically telling our youth that it is okay to be a disrespectful thug!
Come in guys… If Crab comes down with it, it’s an excellently thrown ball.
And Richard Sherman’s mouth can’t take anything away from the 9ers amazing run. Also, you know, people who act all crazy usually have a hard time in the end. Somebody should probably test his pee pretty soon too.
Come on Andre, those tweets are as over the top as Sherman was.
Hey, it’s Dr King’s Birthday, which reminds of that all heroes and society changers do not reside only in sports.
Perspective.
Carlos R LopezVaquero He will get fined about $50k, and he’ll parlay that into 7 figure endorsement deals. Maybe mouthwash ?
paperback writer Andre can drop that brutal F-bomb and I can’t; as it should be. Bravo Iggy !
Sherman is mouthing off just because Kappy missed by inches for a perfect throw, instead gifting Sherman with the damned incentive to mouth off at Kappy and Crabtree.
Seeing Sherman like this, I can see the immaturity in him. Even Crabtree had to nod off at Sherman’s post-game rant.
Carlos R LopezVaquero a lot of kids watch WWE also. same content.
Otis Byrd III WWE antics, instead of looking at the interviewer, an idiot looks at the camera and starts foaming at the mouth.
@thatkiddpj Look pal, it’s one thing to play tough on the field and jaw with your opponent, but calling out one’s opponent after the game crosses the line of good sportsmanship and professionalism. Just about any rational person knows this.
The difference between Sherman and Sanders is that Sanders didn’t call out other guys by name. He was a showboat and obnoxious but even he knew the difference between being a good sport and being an obnoxious jerk.
As far as children watching the game – mine was and I was able to use Sherman as an example of what not to do.
What kind of coaching-teaching did Sherman get in college?!?!?
Who the Hell was his coach?!?!?
WHOOPS! It was Harbough. LOL
Calling him a thug because he went overboard in a interview after an intense football game is very judgemental…it may have been distasteful and classless but that’s it. He’s actually a brilliant guy…..you don’t know him so u probably shouldn’t call him a thug.
paperback writer Harbaugh also coached Andrew Luck.
BASG ……but back on point regarding post-game -coming off the field incidents’ -like when Sherman’s happened last week …….
Isn’t CoachJim Harbough the holder of two records for most controversial post game incidents?
I say Coach Jim Schwartz of the Lions and Coach Carrol when at USC would concur with me- that’s “my deal.”
Also I think there’s the issue of the example set for young fans.
So, the question is not whether or not an “incident” takes place, but how you conduct yourself. Schwartz chasing after H like a yippy little dog falls into the “don’t do this” category. Shaking someone’s hand too hard falls into the “whatever” category. Punching Jim Kelly…?
Weed.
paperback writer Sorry, I guess I inferred way too much from your original post. Harbaugh does stir up emotion, something I’m writing about now as a matter of fact…
BASG – Looking forward to that article!
Thanks, PBW
[… ;] Golden State basketball player Andre Iguodala added injury to the insults when he tweeted, “N***ardomn is like roaches…” and “We just got set back 500 years….” Aside from the obvious absurdity in Iguodala’s “set back 500 years” proclamation, there’s an even greater issue here. In Ridley-esque fashion, Iguodala helped give credence to the idea that certain people who “set the race back” can be called the n-word. [… ;]
