Yeah, but can you kick my ass?

Richard Sherman decided to inadvertently challenge all other athletes last week when he sent out this tweet.
Not sure if the “12’s” he’s referring to are the ones that call themselves the 12th man in Seahawks home field or the ones that left the NFC Championship game early and begged to get back in once the Seahawks started coming back against the Green Bay Packers.
I’m more convinced than ever that NO athletes have to be more mentally prepared than football players. Back me up 12’s!

Either way, the tweet generated a lot of responses from across the sports world.
Hey @RSherman_25 I have less than half a second to make a decision. Have to lock in. Baseball fans back me up.

Sure about that @RSherman_25? 43 racecar drivers at 200mph inches from each other takes it to a whole new level. https://t.co/uUBCRf5gmV

I would have to agree with @RSherman_25 because the QB has to be the most mentally prepared position, right? #Focus https://t.co/3rqKkAjbYq
