Cleveland Brown’s quarterback, Shedeur Sanders’ brother Shilo Sanders, made a sexist remark to a news reporter in Cleveland.
Shilo Sanders makes a sexist remark to a female news reporter
Local Cleveland reporter Mary Kay Cabot was seen in a video on the Cleveland.com Instagram account stating that DeShaun Watson should be the starting quarterback for the Browns.
In response to this, Shilo Sanders wrote in the comment section:
“Go make a sandwich, Mary.”
Mary Kay Cabot responds to Sanders’ sexist remark
Cabot had the following to say about Sanders misogynistic comment while appearing on Cleveland’s 92.3 The Fan.
“I really do believe that I have been an inspiration for lots of women and young girls to know that you can go out there and do a good job in a man’s world and take on all of that that comes with that. I know so many women who have joined the football world, especially because of some of the things I’ve been able to do over the years. I’m happy about that. I’m just happy that I’ve been able to help set the tone and open some doors in that way, and I know that will continue. That’s just how I feel about that.”
Shilo Sanders fires back on Twitch stream
Sanders, however, is not backing down from the remarks that he made. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, earlier today, he went on a Twitch stream and had the following to say to Cabot.
“This is to Mary Kay. If you’re gonna be a reporter, be a reporter and report facts. Whenever you have your opinion, and your opinion is always something hateful to Shedeur, then it makes it seem like it’s something weird, like it’s an agenda that you have going on,” Shilo said.
While Shilo indicated there are plenty of women in the field who take reporting seriously, he feels Cabot is not one of them.
“There is plenty of women in this field that take this serious and take reporting on football serious and actually do homework, study the game, and get the statistics right and get the news right,” Shilo said. “But with you, it’s so much emotion that I don’t want you to make women look bad when it comes to reporting because you don’t have the will to actually report real things that are going on. When it comes to your opinion, you’ve been saying crazy things for the past, since he’s been there,” Shilo said. “So it’s like, just chill with that, cause it don’t make no sense and it makes you look crazy like you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Healthy debate is fine, but avoid making it personal
Sanders didn’t just miss the mark here; he went out of his way to step on it again. What could have been a quick moment of poor judgment turned into something that made larger headlines. And it did not make those headlines for the right reasons. Once he doubled down and kept talking. Now it is not just about one comment. It is about how he handled it after the fact, and that is where things really went sideways. Instead of challenging Mary Kay Cabot on football, on schemes, on quarterback play, he made it personal and then tried to dress it up as if he was defending something bigger.
This kind of moment does not stay isolated either. It follows him and becomes a clip that people pull up the next time his name comes up. And like it or not, when your last name is prominent in the public eye, it is never just about you. It reflects on your family, your circle, and everything tied to that name. That is part of the deal, whether you ask for it or not.
The small takeaway here is pretty simple. If you want to be heard, bring something worth listening to. If you want to be respected in football conversations, keep it about football. Otherwise, you end up overshadowing your own point and handing people a reason to ignore you entirely.
If Deion Sanders preached discipline all these years, this probably wasn’t the example he had in mind.
