NFL champion Richard Sherman is relying on the 6 God to remind his haters numbers still don’t lie. The Seattle Seahawks star has hit up social media to flex Drake’s “Diplomatic Immunity” lyrics to quiet anyone thinking his career’s on the decline.
Sherman went to Twitter Friday (March 9) with some hard-hitting Aubrey Graham lines and a stats sheet.

How does the NFL keep rejecting this movement? More voices will come. Keep shouting @mosesbread72 @Kaepernick7. Hope 12th man pushes back. https://t.co/IIx9T6nKen
