sexist remark<\/h3>\n<p>Cabot had the following to say about Sanders misogynistic comment while appearing on Cleveland\u2019s 92.3 The Fan.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI 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\u2019s 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\u2019ve been able to do over the years. I\u2019m happy about that. I\u2019m just happy that I\u2019ve been able to help set the tone and open some doors in that way, and I know that will continue. That\u2019s just how I feel about that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Shilo Sanders fires back on Twitch stream<\/h3>\n<p>Sanders, however, is not backing down from the remarks that he made. According to the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.beaconjournal.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2026\/04\/30\/shilo-sanders-shedeur-sanders-cleveland-browns-mary-kay-cabot-sandwich-comments-deion-sanders\/89879437007\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Akron Beacon Journal,<\/a> earlier today, he went on a Twitch stream and had the following to say to Cabot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>\u201cThis is to Mary Kay. If you\u2019re 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\u2019s something weird, like it\u2019s an agenda that you have going on,\u201d Shilo said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While Shilo indicated there are plenty of women in the field who take reporting seriously, he feels Cabot is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere 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,\u201d Shilo said. \u201cBut with you, it\u2019s so much emotion that I don\u2019t want you to make women look bad when it comes to reporting because you don\u2019t have the will to actually report real things that are going on. <span>When it comes to your opinion, you\u2019ve been saying crazy things for the past, since he\u2019s been there,\u201d Shilo said. \u201cSo it\u2019s like, just chill with that, cause it don\u2019t make no sense and it makes you look crazy like you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"562\">Healthy debate is fine, but avoid making it personal<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"562\">Sanders didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"927\">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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"1213\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"1213\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">If <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/players\/deion-sanders\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Deion Sanders<\/span><\/span> <\/a>preached discipline all these years, this probably wasn\u2019t the example he had in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shilo Sanders made a sexist remark to a news reporter in Cleveland.
