People really hate Richard Sherman. As the #burnShermanJersey makes its wave on social media, we collect a few we thought were especially noteworthy.
Itās an occurrence as old as time itself. Ever since the prehistoric times when our cavemen ancestors gathered together and celebrated the first Super Bowl Sunday by playing with a football that was actually a tiny talking dinosaur (a laĀ The Flintstones), fans from both sides of the teams going head-to-head show their dedication the only way they know how: by straight upĀ burning the jerseys of the opposing teamās players.Ā

This yearās Super Bowl is no exception.
Especially considering the fact thatĀ Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has seemed to draw the ire of a ton of San Francisco 49ers fans.
Presumably, this is due to the fact that during the 2013 NFC Championship game, Sherman was able to tip a pass that ensured the Seahawks a victory over the 49ers, and then during a post game interview he called San Francisco receiver and funny name wielder Michael Crabtree a āsorryā receiver.
To show Sherman that there arenāt any hard feelings, fans of the 49ers and Bay Area hipsters alike ā who claim to be rooting for the New England Patriots ā have taken to social media to postĀ videos of themselves setting the cornerbackās jersey on fire. And to near disastrous results.
Here are just a few for your consideration.
Ā #BitchardSherman
Iām sure nothing is gonna grill Sherman more than being called something a grade schooler could have come up with. As the big brother of someone named Richard, I can tell with certainty that heās been hearing that one since he was in diapers.
F#ck the Seahawks!
These eloquent orators really stretched the limitsĀ of their verbiage in this video. āF#ck the Seahawks,ā the first speaker announces boldly as he tosses a lit match onto the jersey. And as the flames erupt and dance in front of the camera, Ā This was clearly filmed shortly after the video above, so Mrs. Bitchard Sherman pipes in withĀ the only thing that comes to herĀ head, āThatās so sick.ā
Burn, Baby, Burn!
Just in case you guys didnāt catch it, this guy hates āthe Sherman.ā In a creepy yet charmingly enthusiastic video, this excitable hipster sets Shermanās jersey on fire while making noises that should only be reserved for the bedroom.Ā Since heās holding the bottle like heās taking a leak, Iām hoping that he doesnāt make those noises when heās peeing in public.
Cooking with Alex
In case you all didnāt know, thereās a new show premiering on the Food Network, if you like eating burnt nylon with a side of first degree arson. Itās Cooking with Alex! In this clip from the show you can see Chef Alex smoking up a nice steak on the grill before showing audiences at home the main course: a completely out of control fire.
Letās just hope that Chef Alex has the fire department on speed dial.
Snore
Who knew that someone could manage to make lighting something on fire ā arguably one of the coolest things to watch ā as exciting as a warm glass of milk. Seriously, youāll beĀ more bored than Michael Vick at a PETA meeting.
This guy looks like Hipster vomit
The Bay Area hipster is strong in this one, but even hipsters might have to do a double take when looking at this guy. Heās like a powerful singularity of irony. Thick rimmed glasses, check. Sweater, check. Toms, check. But what really rounds out this dudeās look are the short shorts. Nothing quite like a healthy dose of man thigh to make you want to lose your lunch.
If you got it, flaunt it, I guess.
Juggle Bandit
Is that some sort of fire juggling bank robber? Or is he going to set a Sherman jersey on fire? In this video, a dude is gunning real hard for the next Darwin Award by showing off his less than impressive fire juggling skills. Judging by his bandana mask, I assumed he went to rob the nearest liquor store after setting the jersey on fire.
Richard Shermanās D#ck
Aside from being on top of what looks like to be a high-rise building, this dude goes on to mumble something about Shermanās genitals. Can only assume his fascination with him doesnāt end there.
Drain the Main Vein
This one comes from the Director of Business Development from a respected company. Coincidentally enough, the company whose app has shared all of these videos. It is also the same company whose building is right across from AT&T Parkā which you can see in the background of many of these videos. Exactly where most of these videos were filmed. Perhaps this is all just a marketing ploy?
Despite this, the only video attached to his account is this one of him pretending to urinate on a piece of fabric. He even has the gall to tell Sherman to āget off his high horse.ā This coming from a man who probably has better things to do than setting a jersey on fire.
Just Stop. Please. Stop.
Iām actually writing this from a computer inĀ a library now, because after playing this video, I took my laptop and threw it off of an overpass. That voice isnāt going to win her any love on āAmerican Idol,ā thatās for sure. Aside from how incredibly grating this girl is, she doesnāt seem to even know how many Super Bowls the Pats have actually won. Some fan.
Okay, no. This guy is too hipstery for hipsters
Holy lord. This guy is like the hipster from which all hipstersĀ originate. I bet he burnt his tongue a lot, because he always ate hisĀ food before it was cool. This guy only takes the subway because itās underground. He looks like an extra in the scene inĀ Forrest GumpĀ when he gives the speech to all the hippies. I bet he never swims in the ocean, because itās too current. I wonder what kind of fixed gear bike he has. I bet he has his own podcast.
