Our reading
Deion Sanders allegedly tried to buy silence from critics with $50,000, a sum that could buy a lot of noise if the critics were actually listening.
The offer’s logic is as baffling as it is desperate: pay people to stop talking about you, but only if they’re already talking about you. It’s like paying a therapist to stop charging you for sessions you never attended.
At this point, the real question isn’t whether Sanders offered the money, but whether the critics were already paid to talk about him in the first place.
