Dion Sanders loves all Children Equally.
Deion Sanders has a shock aspect that we have grown to comprehend through time.
In his early years as a first-round NFL draft selection who was also trying out professional baseball, he made a dollar sign in the dirt with his bat as he approached the plate at Yankee Stadium. He started high-stepping yards before he reached the end zone while he was playing in the NFL and broke off what seemed like an unending string of punt returns or interceptions for scores.
He still challenges what’s seen as tolerable, or at least usual, as a college football coach. Before Colorado’s first season under his leadership this fall, he drastically changed the roster and warned players who had previously played for the team that he and his staff would “try to make you quit.”
He has always dared us to condemn him with his words and deeds. They are delivered with passion and the self-assured humour of someone who is entirely at ease with themselves.
After his Colorado football team defeated TCU in Week 1 to claim second place in the national championship, he asked a reporter, “Do you believe now?” “Huh?”
With Sanders, reporters have long learned to have fun. One of them questioned him about a separate set of rankings after his team beat Colorado State last weekend, moving them to 3-0 and the No. 19 slot in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The ones he has for his five kids, you know.
Shilo Sanders, a Colorado safety who stood out against Colorado State, was described as “moving up” by Sanders. He is progressing like “The Jeffersons,”
Sanders said with a straight face and steady tone, “My kid’s rankings are difficult. “Right now, it’s a serious run. The only person who ranks my children honestly is myself.
He chuckled as he took in his surroundings, reveling once more in his dance with convention. But this time, he had overstepped his bounds.
He added, “You guys pretend like you all love them the same (but) you don’t. “I don’t understand why y’all behave that way.”
Sanders’ remarks, which went viral last week, sparked anger on social media (or at least pretend indignation), as well as knowing grins (or laughing emojis) from others who believed it was “just Deion being Deion.”
Sanders posed a challenge to us by providing a glimpse into his parenting style: How closely do we see our children through his lens?
Many of us are sports team coaches, much like Sanders, but on a much smaller scale. Both of those worlds have the potential to be intricately entwined for good or evil.
But when we favor certain people in parenting, just as in coaching, we are toeing a narrow line.
