There was a lot of hate being thrown around after the Seattle Seahawks topped the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday to earn a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII, and some of it found its way to an unintended target.
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman‘s explosive postgame interview sent Twitter into a tizzy, with some bashing Sherman and others joining him in ripping on 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Some apparently did not pay enough attention to which Crabtree they were insulting, though.
