Prime has always been who he is. Is he flashy? Yes. Tom Herman pulled some of the same shenanigans and didn't receive 10% of the same vitriol that Prime does.
You see the problem is that YOU have a standard that YOU think he should live up to, and if he doesn't then YOU deem him a bad role model and a jackass. You should probably look inside yourself and ask yourself why that is. However, if you don't know I will explain it to you. Black people, like myself, prosper by(like I eluded to earlier in this thread) code-switching. This isn't something we want to do but it is a necessity to defuse the majority group and fit in. Deion isn't doing that, so people are alarmed by what they perceive to be antics. Most people don't know that there is a huge cultural difference there. We sing the Stevie Wonder song for birthdays. We sing Amazing Grace totally different than other people. We nod up to each other instead of down. We greet each other differently in general.
All across the country there are black people wearing shades and chains, so you are kind of insulting millions of people when you say that stuff is a clown show. Also, almost every team has a turnover gimmick. It only bothers you that theirs is what it is because its attached to him.
Now I am not calling you a racist. I am saying that you are conditioned to think that all cultures should act the way that you think they should, which is exactly why code-switching exists. Because if we came to work without trying to be you then none of us would have jobs. Deion is a showoff. That much is true. But so is my neighbor with his Porsche's. So is my daughter's friend who lives a few streets over with a 15k square foot house? Who needs that? No one, but as long as they stunt the way YOU are used to them stunting its all good right? Oh lord the dude is a multimillionaire and wears gold chains. Meanwhile the dude is saying all the right things in the locker room and has 5 kids, all who seem to be doing well for themselves.
Once again, I am NOT calling you a racist. I honestly think you are a pretty solid poster. I am simply saying we all need to embrace other people's differences and quit expecting them to live up to a preset standard. Most of the hype on the guy isn't even his own fault.
