Deion Sanders is a smart man when it comes to football but sometimes he says the wrong thing outside of that arena. For instance, when asked on his take on the recent actions of Johnny Manziel, Deion puts most of the blame on Johnny’s relationship with now ex-GF Colleen Crowley.
“Johnny’s in love,” Sanders told cleveland.com at an NFL Network media availability Thursday. “And Johnny’s in love with something that’s crippling him right now. I understand it. And it upsets me that grownups don’t understand it. Because he feels as though this game don’t love him, the people in this game don’t love him, so the only thing that he associates with love is that thing that’s really inflicting a lot of pain on him and that’s his girlfriend.”
Deion should know that blaming the victim of domestic violence is never the way to go and if he meant it differently he did a poor job of clarifying these statements.
Classic case of ‘Open mouth, insert foot.’
