So if the ball gets tipped on the play, the rule is if it's tipped there's no flag."After seeing the hit, Carpenter's wife, Kaela, (it has since been deleted): "I know what we do on the farm when a male can't control his own rage. #LuckyImNotThere #Sherman #ActLikeAnAnimalGetTreatedLike1"The tweet also included a picture of a bander, which is a tool used to castrate animals. Sherman, in his weekly pre s conference, responded to Kaela Carpenter's tweet."It's not surprising at all," he said, . "This is a day and age, you've got the Ku Klux Klan running around.

It's just the way people are, the way people were raised."Carpenter's "BS apology" Sherman referred to was : "My attempt at humor during a heated and highly controversial NFL game has not been received the way I intended. When I saw the out of control nature of the events that happened on the field, I jokingly wanted to relate it to life on the farm, where I grew up, and how it would have been handled there."Unfortunately, I did not realize that a tone of racism would dominate the

It was no surprise that he had a lot to say about this situation. In any event, while Sherman was not penalized for the hit on the field, he will have to do so with his wallet.
