Jason Whitlock rips Deion Sanders after outburst at presser: 'Fragile, fraudulent, and feminine'
Deion Sanders got mostly negative reviews for calling out The Denver Post's Sean Keeler for constant hit pieces and refusing to answer a question from CBS Colorado's Eric Christensen because he was from CBS. But Jason Whitlock's explosive Twitter rant on Coach Prime took the cake for the most notable reaction to Sanders' press conference pettiness.
Whitlock called Sanders "fragile, fraudulent, and feminine" and said that a 10-year-old girl has thicker skin than Coach Prime before labeling him "softer than baby poop."
"Deion Sanders needs help," Whitlock prefaced before saying, "This isn’t about wins and losses. It’s about a man so fragile, fraudulent, and feminine that he can’t take questions from men who mean him no harm. It’s embarrassing. He’s wearing sunglasses and constantly snorting like Bubbles from The Wire. It’s being glossed over because he’s black and everyone is scared. This dude needs help. He finished in last place in the PAC-12 and is so insecure about it he won’t answer questions from reporters unless they “like” him. A 10-year-old girl has thicker skin. He’s 57 and makes everyone call him a childhood nickname. This isn’t leadership. It’s malpractice. Softer than baby poop."
Deion Sanders made Colorado an even bigger villain going after innocent reporters
Keeler admitted he had Sanders' wrath coming, but other than him and his intentionally poignant headlines designed to rage-bait, no one at that press conference needed to be talked down to; especially Christensen, a proud CU alum. Sure, Coach Prime tried to make it seem like he was respecting Christensen by saying he was respecting him, but true respect would be ignoring petty beef with others to let the man do his job.
Sanders just elevated Colorado to even greater villain status, and that's not where the Buffs need to be. CU is still a work-in-progress, but opposing teams will be treating them like their Super Bowl because of the clicks.
The University of Colorado Boulder's brain trust isn't upset with the money that makes, but Buffs fans should be alarmed about receiving every other teams' best. Especially if Sanders isn't planning on embarking on a continued rebuild once his "Louis Vuitton" from Jackson State, i.e. his sons and Travis Hunter, moves up to the NFL ranks.
