The negative press barrage that manifested after high draft projections was not natural. I saw every excuse in the kit for turning Shedeur into a good. The coordination was obvious.
The reason I say it will be a scandal is because Prime and Colorado have acquired a huge black fan base. He not only makes success happen but he pushes players to "be men and not boys" (his words). He's a father figure to guys who never had one like him. He has other NFL players following his path to the HBCUs .
His other HOF NFL players are at Colorado because of Deion. A lot of players like Prime's religious commitment ( a reason Hunter went with him). I'm not a fan of religious jewelry but I have no doubt Prime's flamboyant style appeals to the players he gets (black churches aren't subdued).
Goodell comes from Bronxville (still lives there) which is 1.1% black. The high school graduation has limos + tuxes/gowns + pianos/harps.
I grew-up in same county and know the enclave types that roll into flavahoods and try to act cool ("How about those Knicks?").
Watching Goodell do his faux-bro, chest bumps every draft is emetic.
And now the Lord of the NFL Plantation is slapping down Ole Uppity Deion - that's not going to go unrecognized by players/fans.
The most dynamic black coach needed an NFL ice bath
Added to that was a large amount of black fans online who said the NYGs were "supremacists" who would never draft a black QB .
I never agreed with that but passing on Sanders to get a Ole Miss Rebel is just going to spice the coming commotion.
Goodell will just try to pander more but i think the genie is out of the bottle for that Boomer
