Former Stanford and current Seattle Seahawks teammates Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin hosted a unique press conference on Tuesday to highlight their belief that the NFL is "very hypocritical."
San Francisco faces the Seahawks this Thursday on Thanksgiving, but 49ers safety Eric Reid is putting the upcoming on-field battle aside.
"Despite the rivalry, Richard Sherman's interview was awesome," Reid said on Twitter. "Everything he said was true."
Here is a collection of comments from the press conference:
Sherman: Do you know the other day Marshawn Lynch got fined $100,000. Did you know that? They would not have paid him $100,000 if he would have spoken, do you think they would have paid him?
Baldwin: No, they sure wouldn't have.
Sherman: But you know who does pay me a lot of money? Beats By Dre. They pay, but the league does not let me say anything about them. Doug, why is that?
Baldwin: I don't know, sounds a little hypocritical to me.
Sherman: It seems like we are in a league where they say, "Players, please don't endorse any alcohol." Yet a beer sponsor is their biggest sponsor.
Baldwin: Like I said, sounds very hypocritical.
...
Baldwin: Speaking of health, how do you feel about the NFL making you play two games in five games?
Sherman: Geez, I almost didn't realize that because they talk about player safety so much, and it's like, two games in five days does not seem like you care about player safety too much.
