HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. -- Over the weekend, one of my idols, Deion Sanders, sent out a tweet that sparked a lot of outrage and opposition on social media.
My brother and I once had his poster hanging up in our 3-bedroom trailer in west Tennessee. He was the greatest athlete we'd ever seen. My brother was lucky enough to get his signature shoe Nike had designed for him. Being only 18 months apart and pretty much identical in size, we wore the same size shoe throughout our childhood, him with the Nike Air DT Max ‘96, me with the basic white and blue Air Force 1s.
