In a recent podcast appearance, Colorado coach Deion Sanders covered a wide variety of topics. Including the recent incident involving his son<\/a>, Shilo, and Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t talk about nobody<\/a>,\u201d Deion Sanders said on The Barbershop with Garrett Bush. \u201cWe don\u2019t do nothing to nobody. I know Shilo had a little altercation that he spoke up for his brother. You\u2019ve got to understand, man, that\u2019s his brother. And God bless Mary Kay\u2019s soul, that\u2019s his brother. I mean, she said something, he said something, like media is different today. I know a lot of people don\u2019t respect the old school. I do, because I grew up in that era that we didn\u2019t have a say so. . . . But Shilo spoke up for his brother, and he was ridiculed for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fairness to the facts, Shilo was ridiculed not because he spoke up but for what he said.<\/p>\n

After Cabot expressed her opinion that the Browns should name Deshaun Watson the starting quarterback \u201cASAP,\u201d Shilo said, \u201cGo make a sandwich Mary<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shilo separately suggested that Cabot should report facts and not express opinions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s reported, it\u2019s reported,\u201d Shilo said. \u201cYou have facts, you have news. But when it comes to your opinion, you\u2019ve been saying crazy things for the past \u2014 since he\u2019s been there. So it\u2019s like, just chill with that. Because it don\u2019t make no sense, and it makes you look crazy like you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about. And for all the women that actually take the time to go do their research and actually be real reporters and real journalists, then that\u2019s gonna make them look bad, because you already know as a woman in this field of reporting football and sports, like, it\u2019s hard. So don\u2019t make it hard on everybody, just because you don\u2019t feel like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, yes, Shilo has every right to defend Shedeur. But if Shilo does it in a way that merits scrutiny, he\u2019s going to experience it.<\/p>\n

Deion, in turn, has every right to defend Shilo. And, yes, it\u2019s hard for any father to be objective about his children. That doesn\u2019t mean Deion shouldn\u2019t try to understand why, to use his term, Shilo \u201cwas ridiculed.\u201d Shilo said something for which he deserved to be fairly criticized. <\/p>\n

Hopefully, Deion made that point to Shilo privately. No father\u2019s blind spot for his children should be so large that the father misses a clear opportunity to explain that there\u2019s a line between defending a family member and attacking someone based on an irrelevant characteristic, such as gender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a recent podcast appearance, Colorado coach Deion Sanders covered a wide variety of topics.
