San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman engaged in discussion with Kevin Hart during the comedian's Cold As Balls: Cold Calls segment on LOL Network.
During the conversation, the topic of prejudice came up and how Sherman doesn't necessarily appreciate being described as "well-spoken."
"It's also the 'well-spoken' conversation," Sherman told Hart. "'Hey, they're so well-spoken.' I can use the same vernacular, same vocabulary as the guy right next to me who doesn't have pigment in his skin, but you don't call him 'well-spoken' because that's the expectation is that he's going to speak the words well."
You can watch the entire interview, which has some amusing moments, below.
Hart asked Sherman about his relationship with former 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree. The two would go head-to-head during Sherman's time with the Seattle Seahawks and don't seem like the best of friends.
"You know, it's a complicated, convoluted, a lot of moving parts to the situation that; you know, up and down, around, and over there," Sherman jokingly explained. "You know, one of those situations where you just let it be everywhere but nowhere, and I ain't never there."
Hart suggested the two exchange jerseys the next time the two play each other. Who knows when or if that will happen again, though. Crabtree signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals last year and played in just two games before being released in September.
Sherman was also asked if he feels like he has more amazing NFL years in front of him "on this side" of his career.
"One hundred percent," Sherman responded. "The game, as I've gotten older, has gotten easier. So many people come in here with all this high praise. ... But that doesn't always translate to great football play. The game is played above the shoulders."
Sherman last year had one of his best NFL seasons. He owns Pro Football Focus' highest coverage grade (90.5) and highest overall grade (90.3) from last season, including the playoffs.
Sherman is entering the final year of the three-year deal he signed with San Francisco in 2018.

The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance

No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
