Plenty of NFL fans have taken to Twitter to throw some insults in the direction of Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, because hiding behind a computer screen allows us all to gain more courage.
However, Sherman’s Twitter handle is @RSherman_25 and some people can’t seem to figure out the underscore which has led to an increase in mentions for NFL fan Robbie Sherman, who rolls with @RSherman25.
Poor Robbie.
On Thursday, Robbie took to Twitter to plead to Richard Sherman and the fans to get the Twitter handle right.

@RSherman_25 you have to be seeing these. I have a lot of messages to give to you. About 10000

Robbie is actually probably enjoying the love and hate he is getting on Twitter because that equals attention, and he is also giving some love to the player whose Twitter handle has led to it all.
