Deion Sanders delivers hard truth about American society
The Comeback ^ | Sep 18, 2023 | DJ Byrnes

Posted on 09/18/2023 9:41:26 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders is one of the hottest coaches in football at the moment. The Buffaloes are currently 3-0 and ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press poll with a huge game at Oregon coming this weekend.

But it wasn’t always clear that Sanders was headed for success in Boulder. He took plenty of criticism from posting his first meeting with his team. In no uncertain terms, he told the team that he was bringing his “Louis Vitton luggage” with him from Jackson and any player that didn’t like it should hit the portal.

Over 40 players took up Sanders on that offer. But so far, Sanders’ tough love has paid dividends for a program that won one game in the season prior to his arrival.

Sanders didn’t apologize for his method of operation in a recent interview with 60 Minutes.

“I think truth is good for the kids. We’re so busy lying we don’t even recognize the truth no more in society. We want everybody to feel good. That’s not the way life is,” he said, according to Fox News. “Now, it is my job to make sure I have what we need to win. That makes a lot of people feel good – winning does.”

Sanders said anyone who let words run them off wasn’t fit for his program anyway.

“If you went for that, if you were able to let words run you off, you ain’t for us because we’re an old-school staff. We coach hard. We coach tough. We’re disciplined. If you’re allowing verbiage to run you off because you don’t feel secure with your ability – you ain’t for us,” he said.

So far, it’s hard to argue with the results.

Needs repeating: “I think truth is good for the kids. We’re so busy lying we don’t even recognize the truth no more in society. We want everybody to feel good. That’s not the way life is,” he said, according to Fox News. “Now, it is my job to make sure I have what we need to win. That makes a lot of people feel good – winning does.”

It would help if we’d stop telling everyone out there that they need to go to “college” and then have them all deep in debt that they can’t get out of. The damn schools are responsible for the Bidenskyyyyy Student Loan Deadbeat Bailout.

Reminds me of our neighborhood and family, growing up...

What does this even mean? He’s bringing his Louis Vitton luggage with him?

If I take it at face value that means they don’t like his flashy style. But people won’t quit because of that...they’d quit because they are no longer going to be playing in a system that features their skills or they are likely not able to compete at the level Deion wants.

I see. You were pointing out his grammatical errors for us, correct?

He will be successful because ghetto blacks will flock to him.
Being black is always number one to blacks, and white cucks here can’t wait to be his bitch.

I’m waiting for him to come out of the closet as a republican. Won’t happen. I remember Bill Cosby saying some of the same stuff. Then he had to say something derogatory about Clarence Thomas to prove he didn’t wander too far off the plantation. Thomas never did anything to women that put him in jail.

As soon as they’re successful enough, they’ll be buying their own Vuitton.

Sadly, America not only tolerates losers, but celebrates them.

I got a call from my 12 yo sons teacher already in this young school year about some ‘trouble’ he had gotten into at recess. He had apparently got into a little scrap with another kid.....so I asked ‘okay.... did he win’..... lol. She wouldnt say and didnt seem all that entertained but.....win or lose it’s valuable life experience...so I couldnt figure out what the big deal was.

It’s not just schools. The low IQ personnel running HR often require degrees, even for entry level positions. The banks and government are all too happy to loan $150,000 to an 18 year old with no income or CV. This is without collateral or any means of education in a needed field.
An investment banker with 25 years experience and a Harvard MBA knows most can’t afford these loans. He just knows Uncle Sugar can, and he’ll be retired in Monaco getting drunk with 20 year old models.
There’s a lot of blame to go around.

You can’t argue with results. Deion won at Jackson State, he’s winning with Colorado, and he’s doing it the right away. He’s getting a lot of envy from other college coaches, but success always gets you envy.
