When Richard Sherman went on a social media blocking spree with division rival fans he was tired of hearing from, he probably never imagined that some of those same fans would become his biggest supporters. Now, the All-Pro cornerback is trying to find a way to allow them back into his life.
Over the weekend, Sherman sent a funny tweet about how he is working hard to unblock all the San Francisco 49ers fans he blocked over the years.
I’m trying to find a way to unlock these niner fans. So if you have a friend that I have blocked tag them so I can get going on this. Please and Thank you

If that sounds familiar, it’s because Sherman had a similar issue with a Niners executive when he signed with the team, but the two have since worked it out.
Sherman has always been an agitator who loves getting a rise out of his opponents and their fans, so it’s no surprise there was mutual hatred between him and 49ers followers. But, as we hear so often, the NFL is a business. Things change in a hurry.
