Deion Sanders Has Issue With Pro Football Hall Of Fame

Deion Sanders appreciates that he owns real estate in Canton, Ohio's Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he's not thrilled with his neighbors. In fact, he'd like that neighborhood to have a little more exclusivity. The kind of of exclusivity a gate can't provide. "The Hall of Fame ain't the Hall of Fame anymore, ” said Sanders via a YouTube video from Well Off Media. "I love it, I respect it, I admire it."

Pleasantries aside, Deion is of the opinion that the doors of Canton have been opened too frequently to players that weren't on the same playing level as Sanders. And he now feels as if there should be a way to separate the good or great from the elite. "My (Hall of Fame) jacket got to be a different color," Sanders said. "There needs to be a starting 11, there needs to be an upper room. My head don’t belong with some of these other heads that’s in the Hall of Fame." In other words, Deion, who was enshrined in 2011, wants a rich part of the neighborhood and a not so rich part of the neighborhood... on the other end of the street. After eight men were enshrined earlier this month, the Hall of Fame is now home to 362 members.
