Deion Sanders Bans Reporter from Asking Questions

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has banned Denver Post reporter Sean Keeler from asking questions at press conferences due to what the university described as 'sustained, personal attacks' on Sanders and his program. This decision has stirred significant controversy, with ESPN's Paul Finebaum criticizing Sanders, calling him a 'bully' and 'hypocrite,' and suggesting that Sanders seeks to control media narratives. Conversely, ESPN's Dan Orlovsky defended Sanders' right to manage the coverage of his program. Sanders, while not directly addressing the ban, emphasized his focus on positivity and claimed the criticism does not affect his determination. The incident highlights broader tensions between media scrutiny and the control sports figures seek over their public image.
