Colorado quarterback Shedur Sanders fired back at those he felt were trying to create an unfair narrative over the school's decision not to allow the use of the logo on themed shirts.
The school was embroiled in controversy after Red Raider Outfitter refused to use the school's logo on patriotic-themed shirts that also featured the Texas Tech logo.
Colorado's decision drew criticism from Steven Spiegelberg, owner of Red Raider Outfitter. He told KCBD News Channel 11 that he is removing all Colorado merchandise from his stores because “I don't think anyone has the right to restrict the use of the Stars and Stripes.” In this great country. ”
But Mr. Sanders refuted the criticism, saying it was an attempt to bait content.
“CU doesn't like the flag or something? Come on, brother, it's getting sick at this point.” Shedul said, According to “Terrible Announcement”. “At this point, you guys are just looking for content. That was very disturbing, because what I feel bad about is there are real people who are reading the media who don't know about us, and they… Because it's about believing in lies and types of things, stories. And some people may not have a chance to really understand what's going on in the situation.
“But everyone around the team understands that we're going to find something to talk about every week. I don't know, it's just weird. And people who don't know about us… I'm really sorry for that. You know they're accusing us based on someone's hatred for their father.”
The controversy didn't seem to have an impact on the field, as Sanders and the Buffaloes defeated Texas Tech 41-27 over the weekend, with Sanders throwing for 291 yards with three touchdowns.
Sanders, the son of Colorado head coach and NFL legend Deion Sanders, has a personality that has led some people to express disdain for him and the program he coaches.
