Is Deion Sanders facing undue pressure as a Black head coach in college football?

Deion Sanders is always a lively personality! “That’s why I really don’t get into politics. I’m into people,” he joked recently, even throwing a light-hearted dig at a former President. Last Saturday, Coach Prime’s team made a strong comeback, picking up their fifth win of the season. As expected, Deion made headlines with his bold remarks after Colorado’s 34-7 win over the Arizona Wildcats.

However, during a campaign stop in Tucson, Barack Obama got in on the fun, referencing the game. While cheering for Arizona, he mentioned that Colorado has “a couple of good players,” but hyped up the Wildcats, saying, “you guys have beaten them twice.” Of course, the exchange between Obama and Sanders quickly went viral. Deion responded in classic fashion, saying, “We got more than two good players. But then you’re here (in Tucson), so you have to support that.”

Adding to the conversation, Deion’s quarterback son, Shedeur Sanders, offered his take during an interview on the 2Legendary YouTube channel with host CashCleveland. After all, the 22-year-old QB seemed to understand Obama’s comments in a different light. “I think it was a tough position he was put in,” Shedeur said showing his maturity. “He had to say that, you know, just because he was in Arizona. But you know how hard it is, for people to direct so much hate toward us.” His response reflected an awareness beyond football, hinting at the pressures surrounding the game

It’s no secret that Deion is fortunate to have standout players like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders leading the team. Both have been outstanding this season. But for the first time, the team proved that they’ve got more than just two stars. Hunter, who was injured in a game against Kansas State two weeks ago, sat out the second half of this latest matchup.

Despite the injuries, the Buffs delivered. Shedeur had a mixed outing, throwing for 250 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, but the team still dominated. Their ability to pull off a decisive win without Hunter on the field showed their depth and resilience. It’s clear the Buffs aren’t just about a couple of players—they’ve got a whole squad ready to step up. Now the question is: will Travis Hunter be back on the field to join Shedeur this Saturday? Fans are holding their breath!

“Travis is better than last week.” The Buffs HC added, “I think he’ll have more productivity because he’s feeling much better than last week. As you could just tell with his little giddyup and the way he goes about life, a little more pep in his step today.” Hunter’s injury did not let him practice much last week before the game against Arizona. Despite that, he participated in 41 offensive plays and 13 defensive plays. After that, we all know what happened!

While some may have disagreed with the coach’s call, it’s important to remember that player health and safety are paramount. What do you think about Sanders’s decision? Was it the right call, or should Hunter have played through the discomfort?
