He turned himself into a villain. The entertainment aspect of his character doesn't preclude chiding.
The issue I had (and I assume most have at the core) is not the trash talking but instead the overall aggression in which he presented it towards an innocent sideline reporter in addition to the choking sign and getting in Crabtree's face right after the fact.
For that moment, Sherman was the face of sports arrogance and the entire internets exploded with aggression towards him.
I hope he continues to be a character, but in the future maybe he'll think it through a little bit better.

I think the getting in Crabtree's face and the slap to the butt was by far the worst thing he did. He's really lucky a brawl didn't break out over that. As for the choking sign, Kaepernick's a big boy and if he can mock another teams QB the week before, he has to be ready for someone to return the favor. I think the rant was exactly what you said earlier, WWE. I'm just surprised he was able to pull it off without a single bleep.
