Whitlock on why he's ripped Deion Sanders & Colorado all football season



If there’s one name that’s been on Jason Whitlock's mind lately, it’s Deion Sanders — but not without good reason.

“At this point, Deion Sanders has more in common with Jim Jones than with Nick Saban,” Whitlock says, adding that the notorious cult leader “used a mash-up of Christian theology, Marxism, racial idolatry, and social justice” on his followers.

70% of Jones’ followers were black, and 45% of them were black women.

Those tactics that Jones used to reel his followers in “have been combined and used repeatedly to make fools of black Americans too often,” Whitlock says, noting that Deion Sanders’ tactics haven’t been much different.

“Black people find racialized religious doctrine irresistible in hopes of building an oppression-free football paradise in Boulder, Colorado,” Whitlock says.

Sanders has fanatically brought up God and the hood where he came from, and even went so far as to claim that he made white people uncomfortable.

“That’s Deion Sanders doing his Jim Jones impersonation.”

Whitlock can’t help but notice that on the same day, 45 years after Jim Jones convinced his followers to join in a mass suicide, Deion’s team suffered a massacre of their own.

The team was fighting for last place in the Pac-12 conference when the Washington State Cougars destroyed Deion’s team 56-4.

“For those of you who drank the ‘Coach Prime’ Kool-Aid, thankfully all you will suffer is wounded pride and ego,” Whitlock says.

“What I hope is this is a teachable moment about the dangers of falling for a cult of personality, of pledging allegiance to anyone based on skin color rather than a set of values throughout the football season.”

Sanders, who unapologetically chases money, popularity, youth, material possessions, sex, pride and racial justice, has finally been shown for what he really is.

“Deion does not want to grow up. He’s made youthfulness an idol. The gold chains, the hoodie, the sunglasses, the friendship with rappers half his age are all symptoms of his fear of aging,” Whitlock explains.

“His leadership style is inappropriate, immature, poisonous, corrosive,” he adds.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith priming Deion Sanders for Texas A&M?!



Texas A&M has just fired Coach Jimbo Fisher, and Stephen A. Smith is already cheering for Deion Sanders to take his spot.

“They should buy ‘Prime Time’ Deion Sanders out of his contract at Colorado ‘cause he ain’t going to get some hogs to show up there,” Smith said on ESPN’s "First Take."

“That vault that they got at Texas A&M, that’s oil money down there, that’s oil money. Put that brother ‘Prime Time’ Deion Sanders in the SEC let him get some dog, some rough riders, some hogs up in there, and watch what he does,” Smith continued.

Smith also claimed that Sanders “wouldn’t be on a four-game losing streak with a 4-6 record” at Texas A&M.

However, while Deion might look good in a cowboy hat, Jason Whitlock isn’t a fan of this idea — at all.

“So, Deion in last place in the pack 12 should be the new coach at Texas A&M,” Whitlock says, unenthused.

Steve Kim is in agreement.

“Why is there not the expectation for him or the hope that, 'You know what, Prime? This is just year one. This is your floor, and you’re going to build Colorado,” Kim says, adding, “you call it the hard bigotry of low expectations from those who are advocating.”

While Kim admits he doesn’t “get it,” Whitlock says he does.

“Everything about these guys — Stephen A., Deion, Shannon Sharpe — everything about them is about money. More money means you’re more successful,” Whitlock explains, adding, “Money’s how they define themselves.”

Not only does Whitlock think this might be a ploy by “media grifter” Stephen A. to get Colorado to pay Deion more, but Deion wouldn’t be likely to leave his son Shedeur.

“This is part of my criticism of the entire media-industrial complex. We elevate the most uninformed people to the highest platforms, and they’re the authority.”

Why Deion Sanders is to blame for Colorado-UCLA jewelry theft



Deion Sanders’ Colorado football team didn’t just lose on the field this past Saturday.

In addition to falling to UCLA 28-16, the Colorado players allege they had jewelry, cash, and other personal items stolen from the locker room. Apparently, the home team was robbed as well.

Sanders now wants the NCAA or the Rose Bowl to reimburse the players who lost items in the heist, but Jason Whitlock thinks there’s only one man to blame for the theft: Deion himself.

“That don’t make no sense when you’re out there balling and playing your heart out and you’re getting robbed in the same aspect,” Sanders said in the press conference after the game, adding, “So I hope we could do something about that, NCAA, you do do something about everything else.”

Whitlock doesn’t think this makes any sense.

“Deion is arguing that the NCAA should reimburse his players for their mistake or some breach of security in Los Angeles. This, this blows my mind,” Whitlock says.

Doc Holliday has also posted a video criticizing the Colorado coach.

“Oh, my God, there’s someone else out here in the world who gets it, who knows exactly what I’ve been getting at,” Whitlock says, adding, “that’s what he’s getting at, that Deion and all the rappers and his celebrity friends and that whole movement — it’s idolatry, it’s devilish, it’s wicked, it’s an energy that’s being tapped into.”

Whitlock believes that what Deion is teaching kids in the locker room by bringing rappers who are connected to gang members in is setting up situations like the one that happened at the UCLA game.

“All of this flashy in your face, 'hey, look at my Rolex,' after the game. You’re putting a bullseye, you’re putting a target on your kids,” Whitlock says.

Whitlock: 'Deion Sanders is putting on a coaching malpractice clinic'



Jason Whitlock is not a fan of Deion Sanders’ coaching, and unlike so many others, he’s not afraid to say it.

“Deion Sanders is putting on a coaching malpractice clinic, and no one’s allowed to talk about it, criticize him, or correct him because he’s black,” Whitlock says, adding, “that’s my fire-starter.”

Not only does Whitlock believe the team's roster has been virtually outplayed almost every single game, his team is the most penalized in the country.

“I’m sure that’s racism,” Whitlock mocks. “Quit the worship of Deion — he’s unworthy,” he adds.

Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, happens to be the quarterback on his team. And that quarterback was just sacked in a loss to UCLA — a lot.

When this happened, Deion threw his own offensive coordinator under the bus and said it might be time to get a new offensive line. Essentially saying that it’s “everybody’s fault but Deion’s.”

“As if his offensive coordinator hasn’t been given specific instructions by daddy dearest: ‘you throw that football and showcase my son ‘cause that’s what this is about,’” he adds.

“Take Deion off the pedestal. This is coaching malpractice that will end in disaster. Deion’s going to be pointing fingers at Colorado, Colorado’s going to be pointing fingers at him, those kids in that locker room are miserable. They know that their head coach is favoring a handful of guys, particularly his son,” Whitlock continues.

Whitlock is concerned with Deion's methods on and off the field.

“What head coach takes his son and star defensive player to an NBA game during a week of prep. Who does that?”

According to Whitlock, Deion “exists in this special bubble that the black people in media have decided he’s untouchable.”

Whitlock claims that this is lowering standards for all black men.

“He’s an example of how we’re crippling, lowering standards for all black men,” Whitlock says.

Here's why Deion Sanders & Erin Andrews' relationship is troublesome



Erin Andrews has a big announcement.

The FOX sideline reporter has partnered with Colorado’s Deion Sanders to launch a “Coach Prime” line of apparel aimed toward women.

However, Jason Whitlock thinks this is a terrible idea.

“I’m old school. This, you know, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, 25 years ago — major no no,” Whitlock says, adding, “it’s not a good look in my opinion.”

Steve Kim agrees, noting that her employer, Fox Sports, has a “large hand in the coverage and shaping the narratives of college football.”

“The lines are not just only blurred, there are no lines anymore,” he adds.

This partnership also signals to other young reporters that it should now be a goal of theirs to partner with big names in not just college football, but the NFL.

And when reporters start to see business opportunities, they might not be critical or realistic in their reporting of star athletes or coaches.

“You may be less critical in the back of your mind,” Kim says, adding, “that guy could be a future business partner of mine.”

Whitlock is in complete agreement.

“Let’s say you’re a young reporter on your way up. You’re some 26-year-old, why take the risk of criticizing any of these athletes, because it may cut you off from access,” Whitlock says.

“There’s supposed to be a separation of media and athletes and media and the people they cover. And that separation has been totally blown to smithereens,” he adds.
