Deion Sanders crowned his third spring training in Colorado with the annual spring match. Before it begins, the jerseys of the former quarter-Arrière SheDer Sanders and the Travis Hunter corner half were removed.
“I looked in their two eyes – I know that (Shemer and Travis) were satisfied, They were grateful and they were proud“Said Deion Sanders, via Foxsports.com.” It means a lot for me. “
The decision to immediately withdraw their jerseys triggered controversy In Colorado, since it happens so quickly – and at a time when many other former players who are worthy continue to wait.
“The deadline, no one will be satisfied,” said Deion. “Someone will always have something to say. But the way we are right now, we are a generation now … These guys are worth what they deserve at the moment. So I’m proud of them.”
Although this may be a “now” generation, this does not justify continuing to ignore those of the era of pre-veruca salt. And the decision to quickly withdraw 2 and 12 seems to be an error.
Some may also question the decision to withdraw the two jerseys this weekend and not, for example, during the home matches to which players can attend – together or separately. If Deion thought that doing it at the moment would lead to a peak in the fans of the spring game, this was not the case.
The frequentation of the event was 20,430. It was sharply decreasing More than 47,000 in 2023 and 28,424 in 2024. (Last year, the decline was assigned to the weather; this year, time was not a problem.)
Deion noticed. “We have a great fans base, but we need a little more support for everything we do inside the stadium,” said Sanders. “We should wrap it as if it was a game.”
This did not happen, even with Jersey’s pensions for a pair of players who helped trigger the reversal of the program. But, as deion said, we are a “now” generation. And the fans of Colorado confronted with the departures of SheDer Sanders and Travis Hunter seem to ask: “What now?”
