Stanford player brutal words for Deion Sanders and Colorado players

“They are mercenaries, while we build programs.
“.

Fisher Anderson, a Stanford student, had some unkind things to say after his team overcame a 29-point deficit to defeat the Colorado Buffaloes last Friday night.

Anderson practically called out Deion Sanders and his Colorado teammates for how they handled the transfer portal, calling them “mercenaries.”.

This remark was made by Anderson late on Friday night on X.

Fisher posted on X, “A few reflections on last night.”.
No matter how hopeless things seem, good always prevails.
Coach (Troy) Taylor’s advice to everyone upon being hired contrasted with Coach Prime’s advice to leave: “Stay and believe.”.
They’re hired mercenaries; we write programs.
I support Stanford football, and you ought to too.
“.

For his handling of the transfer portal, Sanders received harsh criticism from coaches as well as former players.
In essence, he released all of his former Colorado players and told those who remained that they were free to leave as well if they weren’t good enough.

Despite the fact that the Buffaloes are significantly better than they were a year ago and are just two victories away from earning bowl eligibility, many people, including Anderson, have taken offense to his and his players’ methods.
