2014 NFC Championship Game: Seahawks vs. 49ers:

"29-Second Loyalty"

Although I am not a die-hard football fan, I do tend to become more engaged during the Playoffs.

Last Night's NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks did not disappoint. It was a nail-biter until the very end. Seattle Seahawks win the games by a score of 23 - 17 and secure a trip to the Super Bowl to face the Denver Broncos.

Energy is High!  Blood is pumping! Players are very confident!  Maybe even Cocky....

The talk of the entire game is not about the excellent defense, the savvy offensive, or the amazing special teams.  It now centers around a 29-second interview or "rant" that Defensive Cornerback, Richard Sherman, had with Fox Sport's Erin Andrews. He was obviously angry with 49er's Richard Crabtree during the final play of the game. Regardless, it did seem somewhat inappropriate for someone who is now headed to the Super Bowl.

However...Social Media has gone nuts about this. Seahawk Fans are changing sides and hoping that Denver wins (because of it) ??? 

SERIOUSLY???

Throw out the window the blood-sweat-and-tears & sacrifices this team has made to make the fans and the city of Seattle proud.

So-called "Loyal, Die-Hard" Fans are going to be distracted by ONE players'

29-second "cocky-adrenaline-filled" personal rant and let that be the deciding factor of supporting this team onto the Super Bowl??

Have we really become so shallow??

Are you, as parents, willing to disown your children because they suffer a 29-second lapse in judgment?

Has FORGIVENESS been thrown out of the window?

HOW...do we expect God to forgive us when we fail to forgive each other?  Are any of us perfect?

Richard Sherman just needs to be allowed to calm down; come down off of his Victory "High"; be shown the Interview (now on YouTube); have to withstand Peer Pressure from his teammates about having more Humility & Class....

And them...encouraged to put it all on the line and bring Seattle back a Super Bowl Championship!

Fans...where is your loyalty to the Seattle Seahawks Team???

Regardless...at the end of the day...it IS just a game....
