There are only a few coaches in the league who are as effective as Deion Sanders. The two times Super Bowl champ just takes it to a whole new level. A few days ago, the whole internet clashed with Sanders for posting a picture on Instagram that stated if a child is spanked for bad behavior, he will grow up to respect elders. He posted the photo and claimed in the captions that it works. Fans were divided after the post and called him names for his opinion. He is known for his frantic opinions and austere rules.
Sanders isn’t only strict with the new players, he has been doing it for years. He lived by his rules then, and he still does it now. Before taking charge of the Colorado Football team, he once punished a young athlete for one simple mistake.
