Deion Sanders is an uppity Negro!!

[2Klub]

There is a WHOLE history of honorifics (Mr. Mrs. Dr. Sir. Ma’am…Coach) not being respected for Black people.

Not going to automatically say the reporter was racist. Although, I think it’s likely bc a lot of white folks have beliefs that carry strong racial undertones when it comes to black bodies and sports.

 

[yaBoi]

My issue is if Saban told any of them cacs to call him coach they would have promptly obliged. The cac still called him Deion in a bitchy tone because he didn't like a black man telling him to call him coach.

yep..like I said the reporter was being a dick.. probably gone get fired

 

[Shaka54]

Call the man by his title. That's who you're interviewing, after all, not your damn buddy.

Hell, I still find it odd for QBs and other star players calling their coach by their first name in interviews.

 

[Quek9]

That was an easy fix.... My bad, I'll call you Coach and move on.

Cac pride protected by the institution of racism.

 

[Mt. Yukon]

no it's not...

Ok... But he asked the reporter not to... You know what... You got it fam...

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

White boy way out of line. There's work etiquette as well, call the man by his damn title! He's a Head Coach, not your damn buddy. Show him that respect, if the dude tells you to call him by his 1st name then you do that. He's a racist piece of shit, bet on it.

 

[KAPE KRUSADER]

And the 2nd time, that fat white greasy bitch, said it again, like he was saying, "Fuck you Deion".

Good move Coach Sanders!

 

[Atastofu]

I don't get why some of you are coming at the Coach Sanders....when folk call my house nothing will get yo ass hung up on quicker than addressing me by my First name...We ain't friends...its Mr....and white folk do that shit all the time....You tell them and they try to slide that First name shit in there but then tell you their name is Mr.Smith...Fuck out here...

If we gotta call Bruce Jenner 'Katelyn' I support this man being called whatever he wants to be called.

I don't call him anything but Bruce

His daddy named his ass Bruce, his faggot ass is Bruce and will remain Bruce

 

[durham]

Prime is correct. White report was just being childish and disrespectful for a story.

 

[Supersav]

Yea white boy was wrong

 

[g0nbad real bad]

Deion laughed it off and was good natured about it but dude was like fuck you ..."Deion".

I am the same way when people ask my name and I tell them then they shorten it.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Wow. 90% of BGOL is right side of this shockingly.
There's hope for yall just yet.

 

[VAiz4hustlaz]

If this is not indication this guy still frequents here, I don't know what it is.

Oh no doubt!

 

[Entrepronegro]

The reporter was wrong.

 

[playahaitian]

I wonder if other Black coaches would unify and boycott that fat bastard?

what REALLY pissed me off

is that fat f*ck punk waited to do that AFTER Coach Deion gave him a COMPLIMENT

do realize the level of sucker you to to be to DO THAT?

 

[THE DRIZZY]

JSU grad here! Blue Bengals(Tigers) Stand Up!

He told that ofay right. Men only allow parents, siblings, cousins, and close friends call them by their first name unless they say it is okay for to address them that way.

[playahaitian]

Hey, Nick Saban, is it OK if I call you Nick? | Toppmeyer

Despite what Deion Sanders would have you believe, Alabama coach Nick Saban is fine with being addressed as Nick. It is his name, after all.

^^^^

yeah

that's some old bullsh*t.

the point is he ASKED him not to and STILL did it.

 

[playahaitian]

and I hope twitter does EXACTLY what he did to Coach Prime

IGNORE HIS REQUEST

and KEEP GOING FOR HIS NECK

 

[playahaitian]

damn even white folk understand

 

[callbacc]

He thought that shit was funny, fuck him.

 

[TENT]

He is racist and could not stand being checked by a black man.

He is a punk bitch mother fucker.

Deion gives some of best interviews. He's seen as an outlandish character and in part, he is, but there is a method to his madness. He generally has a lot of insightful and thoughtful words. Those words might get missed by a lot of "outsiders", but to those that know, know he is only trying build up the kids that play for him so they can eat just as well as he has been able to eat.

I wish him nothing but the best.

 

[Lurk Diggler]

Fuck that cac he tried to stand his ground and lost. At work I don’t respond to emails where people purposely spell my name wrong (2 diff ways to spell my name) I’ll correct them the 1st time but if they keep misspelling afterwards I’ll start replying later later sometimes days later my name is my name ho. Props to Coach Deion don’t really follow college football but I’m liking what he’s doing over there hope he brings some shine to HBCUs

 

[smoovejazz]

Remember what happened when that kid said, "What's up, Knight?" to Bob Knight?

Knight grabbed him and told him to address him as "Mr. Knight" or "Coach Knight."

I had no problem with that, but he didn't have to grab the kid, which caused him to lose his job under the "zero tolerance" clause he was under. You have to be smarter than that.

Coach Sanders had it right.

What I hate is when I see Black people have the nerve to call a Black doctor "Mr.___" on some slick shit. And I've seen the doctor either correct him or ignore it, and continue to do his job with class. Those people wouldn't have the balls to call a White doctor "Mr.___". It's just ignorant.

 

[34real]

After he corrected him he should of addressed him differently;but on some real shit if I was to see Deion I would most def call him "DEION Sanders "cause that's all I know him as,maybe I'll add coach,or hall of famer but he still will be DEION SANDERS.

But that white boy who's in the media was trying to sly one in and Deion corrected him and did what most black men should do if being addressed wrong by anyone .

[slewdem100]

Once the man corrects you then you call him by what he prefers to be called...anything less is disrespect

[d_the_inc]

i figured that would be the reaction here

if you ask me they both wrong

Fuck deion.. sensitive ass....

your damn name is deion he ain't got to call you coach....you ain't his coach

now the reported kinda was a dick for callnig him deion again.. he should have just ended the interview
[/QUOTE


Fuck that...he's earned the title...respect the title...if he says call me Deion...they you have his permission to do so.

Make sure I’m on the ticker! Prime that dude man … My favorite football player of all time …

 

[Bad Andy]

Fuck that CAC, it’s just like reporters had a hard time saying Mr. President Barack Obama. How many times did they call him Obama, Barack, Barry, these CACs know exactly what they are doing. I had a old black man that worked for me I always called him Mr. John. Every time one of my rich white clients came around I would always make sure they addressed him as Mr. John.

 

[Bad Andy]

If we gotta call Bruce Jenner 'Katelyn' I support this man being called whatever he wants to be called.

I still call that nicca Bruce #sorrynotsorry
