Article: Deion Sanders doesn’t deserve the prestige of a number being retired

[HMFFL]

Former Falcons defensive back Deion Sanders took issue with Todd Gurley announcing that he was going to wear 21 while he was here in Atlanta.

Deion Sanders issue was not with Gurley himself but rather the Atlanta Falcons for allowing players to continue wearing a number he wore for the five seasons that he was with the Falcons. The problem with this announcement by Deion is twofold.

The first issue is that the Falcons decided a long time ago not to retire jersey numbers and stopped doing so. Instead, they started the Atlanta Falcons Ring of Honor is pay tribute to those that have meant a lot to the organization. Deion is, of course, part of the Ring of Honor.
The second issue and the biggest one, Deion Sanders does not deserve the distinction of having his old number retired in Atlanta.

He left. By his own free will and ability, he left the Atlanta Falcons to go chase a ring just five years into his career.
We have all seen the excuses from fans, such as Andre Rison chased him away or the Smith family was too cheap and did not want to pay him. Let’s address each of those.
