Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman responded to the outrage—and resulting ugly blowback—over his raving interview with Fox Sports sideline reporter Erin Andrews. "You know, I don't mean to attack him. And that was immature and I probably shouldn't have done that. I regret doing that," he said, pointing to his outburst directed at 49ers' receiver Michael Crabtree. In the interview with CNN’s Rachel Nichols, Sherman also addressed the countless racist responses on Twitter. "It was really mind-boggling the way the world reacted. I can't say the world—I don't want to generalize people like that because there are a lot of great people who didn't react that way," he said. "But for the people who did react that way and throw the racial slurs and things like that out there, it was really sad. Especially that close to Martin Luther King Day."
