Deion Sanders has found a new reason to lash out on the media.
Sanders has seemingly become more and more irritated with the media over the past year. The Colorado coach has criticized reporters on multiple occasions this season for their supposed “personal” attacks on him and his team, going so far as to ban one reporter from asking him questions. Sanders had another viral rant on Tuesday in which he accused the media of being “envious and jealous” of players in the NIL era.
“The landscape has changed in football. Once upon a time you guys never attacked college players. Now, they’re making more money than y’all and some of y’all are envious and jealous about that, so you’re on the attack,” Sanders said. “It (used to be) hands off a college player because he’s an amateur. Remember that, guys? Now it’s hands on, go at them any way you want. ‘They’re making more money than me and I’m mad about it.’
“When you attack them, attack them, attack them, these guys are sensitive. They’ve never been attacked. They haven’t gone through what a grown man, what I’ve been going through with y’all for years. They haven’t done that.”
