Here's Why Deion Sanders Played The Race Card! He Put College Football On Notice!

[@barrycunninghamshow]

I have read a lot of comments here where it it is obvious that some aren't actually watching the video. I am a HUGE Deion Sanders fan and I will continue to promote him...win or lose...but I doubt there will be much losing. As he's already winning. And I'm not talking about football!

He'll put his exit plan into motion once his son graduates from U of C, and it will involve "racism within the school" and or "racism from the people of Boulder". Deion cares squat about his players, and to be honest Blacks. Pulled the race card at JSU because he realized there was not a lot of players interested in playing for JSU. Made the statement "White Schools are stealing talent away from HBCUs", ignorant Blacks got their Woke Signal, felt Deion was calling out White people (typical for Blacks, look at your own comment), then suckered a few parents allow their son to relocate to Jackson, MS. to play for the Black man who loved HBCU tradition. Notwithstanding, Deion got all the Black sports hype radio and television and a share of former NFL players to become his water carriers of his rhetoric. Next thing you know, Deion is playing classism against JSU, a school in an economic struggling city that can't afford the amenities of a U of C or FSU, or TCU, and heads to Colorado and becomes U of C's football coach. And to add salt to the classism, as soon as he got around a group of Whites, he said it very clear that there are no thefts in Boulder. A city with a White population of 83% Whites and 1.3% Blacks. U of C, the same White school he made claims were "stealing Black talent away from HBCUs", now he's "stealing" Black talent to satisfy their needs.

When Coach Prime said some get uncomfortable when a black coach is coaching a team of 75% black players, he was telling nothing but the truth! College coaching positions are nothing but a good-old-boy system. It’s all about control and exploitation. Deon is one of the best to ever put on a football uniform. He has contributed more to the game of football than any Power 5 football coach. All the SEC does is recycle coaches. Some of those coaches have been given three coaching opportunities to coach at storied universities.

[@Daystars153]

What Coach Sanders said in the post game interview was truth! But there are multiple levels of understanding at work here! I’m only going to talk about the most important one first, the spiritual aspect of all of this. God is no respecter of persons. The Lord Jesus Christ simply says, “seek ye first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you”. Coach Deion Sanders, consistently, unapologetically and methodically promotes Jesus Christ in everything he is doing! Christ Jesus said “if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me”! When the game was over, and the media rushed in to catch Coach Prime’s reaction, who remembers the first words out of Coach’s mouth! That’s who was with him on the sideline! He is showing not just black kids, but all kids, what character, discipline, hard, work, desire, and faith can do! He understands the struggle firsthand! (watch Coach Sanders KZbin Hall of Fame speech) He loves these young men that step on the playing field. Moreover, he understands the big picture about the playing field of life. He doesn’t merely just love what these talented, young athletes can do for the program. He loves these athletes period! You better believe parents of these young men, feel some kind away about coaches and recruiters, who betray their sons and present false narratives of concern for them. Many of them need so much more, as they prepare for life! Let’s look at TCU, I love what this university stands for in principle. Although many of their fans and supporters acted every way but Christian like, during and especially at the end of the game with the vulgar and disrespectful behavior, directed at Coach Prime and his players. TCU had an amazing ride last year. A Christian University goes all the way to the national championship game. This year, I believe the story will be more so about a Christian Head Coach, who happens to be black, who happens to coach the Colorado University Buffaloes football team, who shocks the sports world. 1 Corinthians 9:22, there’s a clue for some of you! Flesh and blood won’t reveal what’s really going on here! I urge true Christians everywhere to “PRAY” for Mr. Deion Sanders, a Christian father, educator, mentor, NFL champion, Hall of Famer, MBL All-Star, and power five college football coach as well as a host of other titles and accomplishments! FYI, I’m a 64 year old Cristian husband, father, pastor, mentor, medical professional, businessman, counselor and coach, who happens to be black. I was a great high school football player, but never played college sports. I have a host of health issues, including two total knee replacements. But after hearing Coach Prime’s speeches, I was ready to get up out of my seat and go run through a brick wall for him! Some of you know the Bible, how a little cocoa brown shepherd boy slew a giant and had a bag full of boulders for the rest of the giant’s brothers… See you all in Boulder this weekend!

I did watch the whole video and I think your right Coach Prime is tapping into a feeling. He’s calling all young athletes to a warm comfortable home in the cold cut throat world of college football. If anyone’s is fortunate enough to connect with or play for him he’s going to impact their lives forever even outside of football, this is a movement , and he’s the coach Moses !!!! Things will never be the same- we will talk about this long and after he’s come and gone - all he has to do now is deliver W’s and it in Blood and Stone. Go Coach Prime Gods with you!!!

[@ralphmuncaster282]

Outstanding. I'm an older Colorado Alum, and this was such a tremendous heartfelt video. I'm so proud of this presentation!!!

[@andrabrady7127]

I agree. I believed last year he was denied the Auburn job because of his recruiting advantage. Also, I think he really does care about these kids and helping them reach their goals in life. I mean he hugged a kid after he had a huge turnover vs TCU.

[@erwinhouser7704]

The things I’ve read about Auburn is that they will never hire a Black Coach and that’s a quote from Charles Barkley. Also there’s too many people in that program that are always making decisions. They had a Clown like Tommy Tuberville who was a losing coach and an horrendous politician. They want someone that they can control and fit in at the Country Club.

[@jeromespencer7651]

It's easy to find fault when you lose, but to come to a college that has been terrible for the past ten years and he backed up what he said he would do.

[@carycheshire8808]

This is the best take of all week.

[@toddclifford6357]

I personally am not racist and think the most qualified person regardless of there skin color should get the job

[@melvinthomas9789]

Great story. Way to pinpoint what's really happening. Prime cares far more about black players and understands the environment they come from, plus provides support for those kids.

[@hhodjr1484]

Way to wrap that turd of a comment in a nice presentable burrito. To say he cares far more about black players is disingenuous. If you follow him you can see he cares about all his players. He understands where the black ones come from and offers the guidance and opportunities he knows they need but would rarely ever get from a coach of another race. He's all for these players promoting themselves on social media to maximize their NIL opportunities in addition to building them as players. Many of them come from nothing and instead of waiting 3 years to hopefully make it to the NFL to take care of their family, they're able to earn five and six figures a month just posting on social media. I personally think the rest of the country is cooked. The movement behind Deion is Pandora that is never going back in her box unless his health forces him to have to take a step back.

[@jeffreyblanton9877]

I’m rooting for Deon. He’s a winner and a competitor. I heard a lot of people in the sports talk world say he was in over his head at this level. I guess he showed them something on Saturday.

[@marshallcampbell125]

I think it’s more of the potential of coach Prime being the one coach who 5* recruits flip their commitments from the traditional powerhouse programs. These coaches aren’t dumb and can see what is going to happen in Colorado. Coach prime winning and putting guys names out there on a national stage win gonna be good for the competition

[@marshallcampbell125]

Not gonna be good

[@DK-bl4hp]

You hit it dead on the head. I've said this for weeks. They are afraid of him draining their talent pool. Plan and simple!

[@gxmundy]

Talent pool? Are you saying there is only 125 top shelf black player coming out of high school? Cause thats the limit on what Prime can take from the talent pool. There is plenty of talent for every program to compete for.

[@MrPbates]

What do you call it when Alabama does it??

[@azul93gt38]

Paul Finebaum has been engaging in negative recruiting tactics against CP since he arrived in Boulder, CO.

[@uprightfossil6673]

You are on it brother. Many of us can remember the talking heads explaining why the Colorados, Boise States and Utahs are flashes in the pan. Depth at position. The big teams are two or three deep in every position. Coach Prime threatens to take a few of those players for himself.

[@fatbeezy912]

@@gxmundy Then why do we talk about the same teams every year? The reason why Bama, UGA, Ohio State, Notre Dame and other schools stay dominant. Because they constantly get the top talent in the talent pool. 5 stars everywhere. What happens when Deion starts stealing the 5 stars that would’ve gone to bama, UGA, or Ohio state? And prime relates to these kids a lot more than Saban and Kirby. He’s more infectious and he’s been a winner at everything he’s ever done. Yea he can absolutely drain the talent pool and kids committed to Bama or Ohio state de commit to go to Colorado. USC lost Bryce Young to Bama. And I was watching him since his junior year at Mater Day. THAT is draining the talent pool

[@Diaspora_roots_global]

Well said!

[@cyrilgammie6526]

Barry I've watched at least 5 to 6 videos on prime this was the best. Im subscribed this is great yu also have a great voice

[@jerryjobe5201]

Great job Barry. I am 82 farm boy and I have been behind Prime 1000% from the get-go. Prime is sent from GOD -- everything he says is like magic amazing. He is always thinking down the road -- he will have players in excess soon as Black kids all over want to be with Prime. I tellya Prime is magic. I was one of the first to say Jim Harbaugh would be the coach of Michigan. Let me be the first to say Prime will be at U of TX before 2030 for 15M a year -- trust me. I tellya - Prime is magic-- and damnn sure magic to the young Black kids - and bless him. I predict he will lose that foot and he will be even more magic after that as the best one legged football coach of all time. If he lives long enough Prime will be the #1 coach in football history. I tellya Prime is magic. Great job Barry - I agree 1000% .

[@monjop2622]

The biggest things is he has pulled back the football curtains and letting folks in where these institutions have kept secret and convinced everyone that only certain type person can handle this responsibility. The second thing he’s helping these players get what they are worth with openly supporting NIL. Crazy cool

[@user-px1dy2yc3c]

I agree

[@baronvondominoes]

It wasn't a secret he's just the first to speak up

[@marshallcampbell125]

Maybe, but what primetime knows is when he sits in the living room with 5* stud and competing with USC, Alabama, Texas he can pull that recruit to consider Colorado when that never would happen before

[@jimmyjackson2361]

⁠@@marshallcampbell125 Competing with Alabama, USC, and Texas? They need to beat the top teams in their conference first. I hope they do, but let’s not put the horse before the cart.

This was great show. There's also an even larger influence on the parents of these kids who grew up watching deion Sanders, in large part I think that was his grand audience. Awesome show

[@uprightfossil6673]

He talked about that with Shannon Sharpe. They were laughing about those kids mothers and fathers were fourteen and fifteen years old when they were stars in the NFL.

[@allergyahead8128]

Football is not the most important thing Dion is coaching?Thats why he and his players are going to be very successful on and off the field.

[@craigsmith4253]

Finally black ppl in America are getting recognized for our accomplishments. It's about damn time! Coach Prime's swag is bigger than football. He's transcending America. Everything about him speaks volume. Keep on winning brother and you'll open more doors for us. 💎💎💎💎🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@Moor2011]

I'm glad that I listened to your entire commentary; outstanding work and perspective. Word association is vital and the use of pandemic speaks to something that is threatening, must be stopped. The question is why is it perceived that way? Some of us know what time it is, and believe you me Coach Prime is on the front line for all Americans, no matter the color! The NFLs minor league(NCAA/SEC) not so much! You just enlisted a new subscriber!

FOX SPORTS GOT PAID. This was just as good as watching the Super Bowl 🏈 I would like some clarity on why was it not shown of Coach Prime running out to the field 🤔. If it wasn't for his Son Deion Jr and other media, we wouldn't of probably ever witness Coach Prime history, RUNNING IN PAIN. Nothing but ❤️ 😍 🎉😊

[@FBDerringer]

Great take! I’m 65, white AF and am coach Prime’s number one believer! I’m not scared. Whoever is best will win. Coach Prime is a master like you said and I couldn’t be happier for his success. Winners aren’t scared, winners compete. BTW I’m a Kansas boy who is now a Buffalo. Deion Sanders is gonna blow up this year, and the portal is gonna make CU “Louie”! Can’t wait! Corn fin a git shucked Saturday!

[@creightongoodwin7535]

Great discussion! Thank you for the revelation that you provided to the audience. I think that you intentionally overlooked the historical racism in this country, though. Black youths are relegated to reside in oppressive and dangerous residential environments. They use their athletic skills to escape these impoverished areas. Deion and the NFL players he associates with Colorado football, are products of such a devasting upbringing. Deion can't alter the racially entrenched division that exist in sports and in America, but he provides a pleasant alternative for now....

[@uniphied3]

Amen Bruh!! It was one of the best things I watched......great movement for the sport!

[@1TALLKING]

Came across your video while working. You, my friend, are SPOT ON! The fear he's creating is enormous! I listened to the entire video before I commented. With all the fear these White coaches now have, it took me back to a comment made by an all-time coach after he took an ass-whipping in Cali-"I gotta get me summa those!" Know who that was? I'm sure you do. Imagine 1/3 of the college coaching ranks being Black and half of them were like Coach Prime to some degree. The influence on those young Black kids could reshape our culture! Great video and you got yourself a SUBSCRIBER!!!

[@uprightfossil6673]

What you are saying is exactly what they are afraid of. They created a “monster” that has more swagger, more class, more talent and more brains than their “traditional” supporters. And by traditional I am going back to the fedora wearing times when “summa those” was code word for N…. Peace.

[@wjtruax]

I've been watching Prime closely since he took over JSU, and he made me a huge fan immediately. You've hit it right on the head. Prime will attract the kind of recruits that many other coaches just won't. He has made it very clear that he not only wants to build a phenomenal team, but he builds phenomenal individual young men. He has also made it clear that he demands everything you've got at every moment. If you work or play for Prime, you will work harder than you ever have before...but Prime himself works harder. You can't give Deion more than he will give you. No one else is Prime, and no one else will be able to replicate his intensity. But, his coaching staff will take his attitude with them when they get offers elsewhere. I can't wait to see what the Prime and the Buffs do the rest of the season!

Hey! Deon is Cassius Clay - 1963! Saying what he believes and knowing what others don't! Doing what others have not even tried! A master at marketing his brand just like Clay did! Clay made himself "must watch" tv 19 in the early 60's and people watched to see when and if he would fail just as much as to see if he would win. He won and did it his way! Deon is doing the same thing almost 60 years later!

@kenyabrantley1673 ....Dude, I was talking when he was known by his birth name, Cassius Clay, before he changed his name to Mahomad Ali. Why do people gotta be combative. I shouldn't have explain myself. That was no disrespect. Go back and look at all the footage before the Liston fight as see 👀 do you see Clay or Ali on the fight card. Man, relax. I was the biggest Ali fan ever and idolized him growing up. I was just highlighting that before Ali was Ali, Cassius Clay built his brand and knew how to market himself. He said, "My Name is Cassius Clay, the most beautiful fighter in the world today." Also...."Clay comes out to meet Liston, Liston starts to retreat. If he goes back any further, he'll be in the rang-size seats. " Hope that helps you sir.

[@IAmDemetriusMatthews]

He’s making it about race due to the fact that so many HBCU (historically black college/university) are extremely under funded. He is going to get A BUNCH of top black talent because he is black and he is RELATABLE. As a black person I would much rather play for Deion than a Nick Saban.
