I'm sure Deion can afford prosthetics. Maybe then he can change is name to Roberto. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of anonymous dudes on a message board making a joke out of a millionaire celebrity losing a couple toes. I’m sure Deion Sanders does not care at all what anyone on this board says, much less even knows this board exists. Better yet, he seems like the type of guy that would probably laugh at this if not make the joke himself Relax a little, laugh at it. It was a funny pun, a funny joke. Not everything has to be so social justice esque all the time 🤦♂️ Yeah, I am sure he would laugh.. “They were talking about the amputation of toes,” said Sanders. “Then they were talking about the amputation of my leg from the knee down. Then, they were trying to ensure I had life.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I would never have thought that toe injuries from his playing days could affect Deion this much... Glad to hear that it seems like he is doing better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 This was (yet another) great 30 For 30 that really highlights how much Deion got screwed over in the court of public perception. Largely by the selfish Atlanta Braves organization. What should have been one of the most covered, celebrated moments in sports was twisted into a reason to bag on the guy. A real shame. Absolute phenomenal athlete (still #2 to Bo Jackson tho). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute phenomenal athlete (still #2 to Bo Jackson tho). Seriously. Anyone who can be a top performer at a professional level in both baseball and football is an incredible and truly gifted athlete. I actually put Deion ahead of Bo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me that given the opportunity, Neon would love nothing more than to beat you so bad in a foot race missing his big toe, that your great great grand kids are still crying. I’m not sure I would care or cry one bit if Deion Sanders, one of the greatest athletes of all time, beat me in a foot race I would laugh my ass off and enjoy the company of Deion, The dude could probably beat me missing a whole foot let alone a couple of toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is your main balance/push off toe. The Braves surgeon managed to save it, but it took a couple years. I was active in sports in high school and college, then became a VERY avid tennis player as an adult. I’m not “outraged” and it’s a clever title, but I can’t make fun of it as it hits close to home. I still have issues with that toe. That is some serious chit. Think about it, your big toe does all the work! On a side note, my wife’s Lebanese family is lactose intolerant, and there is nothing funny about that either. Especially in a car on the ride home! I have been a victim of being in a car ride with an lactose intolerant person. Spent most of the ride with my face buried in my shirt. EGADS!!! Never stop for ice cream again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Seemed like a relatively minor issue to begin with. All surgeries carry risk of complications, some of which can be life altering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this thread gets closed. It is possible to sympathize and still have fun with stuff like this. It’s not like it had to be one or the other. Too many these days want to limit communication to a narrow set of guidelines and define what is “right” in regards to topics. Live and let live. No one’s hurting Deon here making a little joke about his loss of toes. Consider how many times people make fun of themselves over things that don’t go well in life. Being able to laugh at life, is a good thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not great, but also not worth getting upset over others seeing humor in something such as this. Have you never laughed at yourself for something that went wrong? Negativity or positivity, which would you prefer, which would others prefer? Being able to find humor in things generally equates to someone who is more positive in life.
