Deion Sanders being mocked for walking out of SWAC Media Day
Deion Sanders has CFB Twitter talking on Tuesday.
The Jackson State head coach got upset over a reporter addressing him by his first name at SWAC Media Day. Sanders then falsely claimed that reporters get “cussed out” if they address Alabama coach Nick Saban as “Nick” during media sessions. Sanders demanded that he receive the “Saban treatment” he made up.
As expected, CFB media members are mocking Sanders for his outrage (possibly a publicity stunt).
Given that isn’t remotely true … most reporters call him Nick … here’s guessing this was another (dumb) Deion publicity stunt. https://t.co/qC2iD4Es8o

I don’t think that I’ve called him anything other than “Nick.” He hasn’t cussed me out.

Amazed he said that. Saban gets called “Nick” all the time by reporters 40 years younger and never seems to notice one way or the other. https://t.co/RNfkg2LEY7

JSU coach Deion Sanders walks out of SWAC media day after being addressed as Deion.
"If you call Nick (Saban), Nick, you'll get cussed out on the spot, so don't do that to me"
I covered Saban for 6 years. He was called Nick many times. He never said a wordhttps://t.co/nwrRIoRzTx— Chase Goodbread (@ChaseGoodbread) July 20, 2021
Deion Sanders couldn't be more inaccurate. Nick Saban doesn't "cuss out" reporters who call him "Nick" like Deion says. What a clown move to walk out of media days over that. https://t.co/HF3lyWrIF6

Now I need a list of all the people who are supposedly being cussed out by Nick Saban for calling him “Nick.” https://t.co/v8fPgJL961

I’m a 22 year old sports journalist who called Nick Saban “Nick” the first time I asked him a question.
He didn’t get mad or walked out. Instead he gave a fantastic response. This is dumb. https://t.co/BDoszLAWKD
