DEBATE: Jason Whitlock vs. No. 1 Deion Sanders Defender 

Why would you have a debate about Deion with someone who hasn't met or know Deion so they could defend his point of view? Lame smh!

Love when grown men can disagree but have an adult conversation and agree to disagree …. The world would be a better place if humans as a race on a whole could do this with all topics.

Jason wants to cut Deion from Team Jesus

I thought Whitlock was actually gonna get an intellectual Christian rapper...not a rapper that uses Christianity to further push his career, and hide behind his crutch....crutch being, not a good rapper

Funny how he had no smoke for Brett Farve🤷🏾

In the first 10 seconds, this guy is running in the same lane as Kobe! I knew this debate would be more of an education for this dude. And he didn't get it.

I had never heard of Dee 1 until recently. I like him. And I am glad he and Whitlock had a sitdown. Good stuff

He said do you believed now? He didn’t say do you believe in me now? You are fishing man.

I went to LSU with Dee 1 and we both volunteered with middle school students. I don't know what some of you are talking about because obviously you all have never met him. Dee 1 is one of the most humble, intelligent, talented, caring and consistent people I've ever met. Dee 1 has always acted like a Christian and treated everyone with the utmost respect. Dee 1 also taught one of my younger cousins and is still a mentor to my cousin, who is very successful in his own right. God bless Dee 1.

That is a real man talking to an adolescent young nice guy who can’t engage in critical thinking 🤔

Don't take money for promoting gambling then brahhh

May I put two facts on this platform. One. After the hurricane,in Texas,Mattress Mack said"come on in here,there is room for you all." Two. Joel Osteen said"YOU CAN'T COME IN MY BUILDING". Thank you Jason,for reminding us,to be aware of the false prophet.

I’ll say this. God only created 3 perfect individuals. 2 failed in their perfection. 1 died for our imperfections. Yet, God didn’t hesitate to used imperfect peoples to spread the news of Jesus BEFORE he was born. God still using imperfect people today to spread the gospel. If perfection is needed to be the requirement to mention God and Christ, then no one can speak or talk about the gospel, which a larger amount of people going to hell. Being a Christian doesn’t means or make you perfect. It’s mean you realize you need help from God and Christ to cover and help you while you’re working on your imperfection. What’s the difference between a well groomed suit wearing person sharing the gospel of Christ and a homeless person sharing the gospel of Christ, while struggling? In God’s eyes he love both the same for sharing the seed of the gospel of Christ. No one is without flaws and vices to overcome including those in the Old Testament and New Testament. Abraham lied about his wife being his sister. Yet, God still chose to work with him to become the father of many nations. Should God abandoned Abraham for the lies and not allow Jesus to be born many generations afterward? Instead of accusing someone about their walk which you don’t know everything they do in private. Pray for that person. Yes call out the sins. But, understand they are just as much a work in progress as you are. Otherwise, you’re in a state of pride in which you think you’re better than some people while overestimating your own walk. Self righteous can turn the sick off from you. Possibly, be the reason why some will never accept Christ by your actions. I highly doubt everyone gets and does everything right at all times. It’s between the person and God when they messed up. Now, Deion has a job to keep. Would God want Deion who has the eyes of millions want him to keep his job to spread the seed of Jesus or lose it and hope he doesn’t mention Jesus? Yeah it’s sus to have celebrities to appeal to the guys. Like Dee-1 said, if Jesus hanged out with the “sick”, then why shouldn’t I do the same. How else will many people hear about Jesus if a lot of people don’t go to church in person or online? Some come from family that never believed in any God. You honestly think God care about Deion’s chains, while some shallow person who are enamored with flashy people chooses to follow and listen to Deion? Yeah again Deion isn’t perfect in his walk. But, the same people may have giving their life to Christ because of the flashiness. I personally know of someone that has a friend that let them borrow a Ferrari. A lot of people gather around the car to talk to that person, while they were running errands. That person used that opportunity to share Jesus with everyone in an unplanned organic way. Should God reject everyone that accepts Jesus because they were hooked on the car at first? God will used all people in every profession to spread the seed of the gospel of Christ. None of us knows how many people gave their life to Christ after talking to Deion. You’re judging the messenger verses judging if the messenger is spreading God’s message. I can see if Deion is out here preaching sins are ok. Like the well groomed vs homeless example, God appreciate all three of you. This life is really a game of thrones. Either you’re a piece of Satan throne being sat on and tormented or you sitting on a throne next to Christ and God. It’s about how many souls get saved through the message of Christ. Not about petty preferences of a messenger. It’s foolish to try to fix yourself before accepting Christ. It’s more foolish to think God only use prefect people to save the “sick.” Great interview.

Jason talks about being a Christian but he has to remember that you have to show love and grace to people. He sounds legalistic sometimes. I like how Dee-1 is being humble and wants Jason and Deion to get along

Dee-1 believes in compromising the truth. He has no problem straddling the fence and his Christian faith is obviously not from the heart but it’s to separate himself from the other mainstream rappers. These rappers are on a level he hopes to one day reach.

What's the difference between "black" head coach and "Christian" rapper....seems like both parties are using crutchs to garner sympathy...look at me I'm a poor black head coach, look at me, I'm a poor Christian rapper,,,blah blah blah....a coach is a coach, a rapper is a rapper

Dee-1 he don't make no sense

Deion question was do you believe now! I am at least ten years older than you two and there isn’t a need to cover up what you were, yet how do you help the next generation. You need to take a look at the families that embrace him. Jackson State provided for Deion what HBCU was established to do, give Blacks a boost! I lived in Cedar Hill, when Deion was given those opportunities. I have watched him raise young men and a family and that requires humility!

As a coach, that is not the 1st thing that would come out of your mouth. This young guy is ill-informed. A lot of ppl are just controlled opposition.

And Jesus didn't converse with sinners to praise and support them in their sin.

I'm sorry, this guy does not impress me- clearly he is into self-promotion, and he wants Jason to legitimize himself by getting Jason to legitimize Deion. No sale; please don't interview this person again.

His confidence shows your insecurities jayson 🤷🏾‍♂️

So, are we disqualifying Jason for gluttony? 🤔 I think not. It can easily be said that he's not evolving nor glorifying God through his body. Flaws do not disqualify. Jason has a poverty mentality as it equates to Christianity. He's judging Dion but they don't have the same walk OR money. What I hear is masked rejection. His inner child feels rejected. Once he's healed, he will clearly understand that no two walks are the same. It's sad that he can't see that Dion is effective to those he's called to; just like him.

Did Jason muddy the waters too much for him to invite Deion on the show so they could talk man to man? Many people in these threads, I think, if someone continues to call them out and sully their name, would prefer the opportunity at some point to defend it. It's so easy to sit in one’s echo chamber and talk a lot or noise and the other person chooses not to engage with them. This is beyond ridiculous to me. I’m going to react to this video on my channel.

I was at Deions first ever game as A Dallas Cowboy in Atlanta! He dropped a Touchdown pass from Aikmam, he dove for the ball instead of running under it, the only mistake i saw him do the whole day , but i will Always love Deion, because so many people hate him !!!!

He also put on the dress and makeup… of course he’s going to defend Deion. Look it up!!!

Jasons points lose validity with lies or disregard of the other side. Shannon Sharpe has BLACK kids, their mom is Betty. Prime brings Rappers, Financial Advisers & Pastors to speak to the kids. not just Rappers, who are the kids Heros by the way. Also the bible says God Loves Affirmations when you praise him. like prime does, "I am HIM, I dont need no motivation, Jesus Motivates me" He also PUBLICLY states that Prime is a brand, but there is Deione who is more laid back, to himself, quiet.

I agree with Jason. Deion is one of the most charismatic athletes ever! But, Prime has not shown any humility!

Jason Whitlock using clickbait headline/soundbite proving once and for all how insincere he truly is. Obviously trying to marginalize someone who is by far one of the most positive influences in the culture when it comes to pushing back against the toxic themes in rap music in Dee-1. Instead of highlighting that, he prioritizes his obsession with Deion Sanders and anyone who doesn’t share the same views about Deion is completely defined by that viewpoint. Never mind all the service Dee 1 does in community or the bigger picture fight is going against those themes in entertainment. That’s all grandstanding from Whitlock

Jason Whitlock know nothing about Deion Sanders, but is on board to use his name for clicks and likes. This young man is too inexperienced for this conversation. How dare JW question the personal relationship a man has with God. JW is hilarious, he really hate black men doing what he could never accomplish.

I agree, but I disagree that witchlock is on point.

Waste of an argument. Sticking up for Deion and Joel sanders. Universalist

Dee 1 is full of it. Watch him

I’m waiting for him to say “ remember when Bobby came back at half time and the mud dogs won the bourbon bowl”

Jason's right many people claim to be Christian doesn't mean they are. You will know them by their fruits

Radical materialism is a venture to positivity. You are viewing the outside trappings and bypassing the heartfelt message. A long history of evaluating this man's career should have led to you seeing the true ebb and flow of life. What can be more Christian than going through the trials and tribulations and still holding on tightly to the faith and belief you have in the greatest of moments. You speak to the fact that Coach Prime has zero humility. But Jason, for the record, I ask you to define precisely what your definition of humility is? Secondly, just how does the action of humility manifest itself in your own life? Also, has that action changed and elevated over time as you, yourself, have grown in your understanding of faith and obedience? It is easy to make these attention-grabbing "statements" again, but truly a disservice to the mass public without a careful explanation of where and how that personal perspective originates.

The Bible also says the body is a temple. Looking at Jason, I don’t think he is a good Christian..😂

Dude mad corny. I see through the bs

Whoever is a friend of the world is an enemy of God James 4:4

Deion isn't coming on Jason Whitlock's show, Jason can forget that.😂😂😂

I agree with the young man. Deion Sanders may not have the depth of relationship with Jesus that Whitlock has, but Whitlock may not have the relationship with the Lord that others his age do! God hates division, and Jason Whitlock is not the judge. Also the Word tells us how to deal with issues with other Christians, and broadcasting them publicly isn’t it….

Omg jason, u brought a fake rapper christian parody of deion sanders. That's just not right

If Deion wins a chip especially how they expanded the playoffs cool, but like Harbaugh after getting a pay cut and all the scrutiny still won a National Championship. Quick question...how come a WNBA game was better to watch than the recent All-Star game🤔

Get off Dions jock

Right out of the gate Whitlock hits it…. I was a Sanders fan when I was a kid like him. Now I’m a grown man and just don’t get his thing anymore. Time to evolve

Deion is no Christian he not humble all about him and money turn off

This guy doesn’t sound very intelligent to me.

This is how you critique Deion the idol. Respect

PROSPERITY CHRISTIANITY IS NOT CHRISTIAN. Ask Deion’s buddy, T.D. Snakes…. 🤣🤣🤣

"Jealousy" with Jason Whitlock

He sounds as if he wants to be the way he says Deion is.

Dude labels himself as "The 1" ....of course he will defend Deions self righteousness

I wish he’d speak like a normal educated person.

Respect to the young gentleman for talking with Whitlock on this issue. However, it is painfully obvious that he doesn't truly know Scripture. Keep growing in Scripture.

Dion don't care what you think brah don't not understand that, you talk and talk but don't you see Dion don't pay you attention. But you are the ultimate judgement you got the God give right to judge every man who don't live up to your standard, your standard.

I thought the rapper was coherent and thoughtful in his defense. "He him," again, is slang. It's no different than calling a player, "The GOAT."

Damn!! Jealousy runs so deep from a sub-par reporter. Check the receipts. If you don't like him, then stop eating off of him with your RU-vid posts.

This wasnt even about a debate, he just wanted to come on the show and promote his brand and he accomplished that. Jason he simply used your platform to promote his, I wouldn’t have him back on again. 38 but speaks like he’s 18.

Look, we should be able to disagree with each other without questioning a mans faith or his ability to think or his motives thats foul. Its funny to me how all that comes into question because they both aren't on the same page about Deion. Man thats crazy. If yall think he's wrong than agree to disagree but be careful to judge a mans character because he may disagree with what you believe especially when it comes to another person. There's some things I disagree with D1 about, but the one thing I truely believe about him from listening to him for years is that that man has high character and is a true man of God and nothing in my mind is going to change that even if I disagree with him on some things.

Dee 1 is as naive as a child

The key for everyone to stop lying to me.... is to stop lying to yourselves. Try it... you'll stop annoying me!

This man truly despises Deion.

I can’t put my finger on Joel osteen, personally. I know the way he preaches turns many people off, but I just enjoy his sermons if I’m being honest. Sure they aren’t very deep, but they are positive and he smiles, I don’t see many smiles in my life. However if my dad walks in I will quickly turn the channel or he will mock me for watching him. It’s weird.

Dee-1 was a massive disappointment in this interview. hard to listen to his chaotic rhetoric

Annoying. Bring Back Royce White!!!

Shot out. To j. Whitlock and D-1 I'm from New Orleans too.

“Radical Materialism” - wowzers. Materialism has def been a detriment to the black community. Whitlock can be an ass pause, but he be making some great points.

The kid is a good guy, but clearly young in the Lord. I’m not sure he’s the best “debate” partner to engage on the subject.

Loved Dee-1’s world view. I hope you have him on again. He is very intelligent and interesting.

Jason Fatlock do us a favor and go do another show with Roland Martin 😂😂😂😂 that dude destroyed you. Best sit down interview on RU-vid

Deion runs a reality show featuring his sons. That’s how I see it. He is not a football coach 😅🎉

Jason, I see a lot of red flags with Dee-1. I see some of the same issues you have with Deion Sanders, but his black idolatry & anger towards whitey seems even more severe than Sanders'. I noticed it when he was triggered when you politely wondered if he was Louisiana Creole, which is part white (French). He then went on bashing light skinned black people who sold out & joined the evil white man. He may be a dynamic guy, but he has too much black idolatry & hatred towards a race to be any kind of spiritual leader.

Dejon played good D. If anybody says he never tackled anybody then you know they don't know football. Dejon always tackled to force the 3rd down play.

Where's Katt Williams with the Cedric the Entertainer joke?

Nice thing about YT comments is seeing quick which clips to skip.

Whitlock you are coming off as self-righteous; however, I respect your view. Your enemy isn't Deion your enemy is pride and I respect that. God bless and I love the show by the way.

This pro Deion guy brought 0 substance to this conversation

props to dee-1 for speaking with whitlock! so glad to not see him w/stephen a myth instead.

Growing up, as a black kid in the 80's and 90's, I learned materialism from Ric Flair, not Deion Sanders. Deon is a Alpha. Whitlock is a Beta.

Jason hates on Deion because Deion has been better at life than him.

Jason a modern day Pharisee ready to cast judgement

Why is Jason hating on Deion because he's a confident black man who enjoys his success and is a positive role model to his black players.

🤣🤣🤣 Jabba da Hut said him & Deion as athletes, Deon at a very high level and him at a mediocre........STOP IT! 🤭😁 YOU WAS CUT FROM THE TEAM

What happened to the supposed next conversation or debate with Matt McChesney? Jason was supposed to debate him about some comments he made about Deion. Hmmm🤔

Dee-1 talks the talk..... But walks the walk covered in gold. He doesn't even realize he's a giant hypocrite.

I like this guy. Can we give him credit for coming on the show?

THIS YOUNG BROTHER REMINDS ME OF MYSELF YOU CAN BE WHAT GOD AND STILL LIVE IN THIS WORLD LONG AS YOU KNOW AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU'RE HELPING PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY THAT'S WHAT ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF KEEP GOING YOUNG BULL YA HEARD ME...💪🏾

What about Brett Farve Jason? It's interesting that you won't talk about certain people but waste your time on Deion?

This young man is more connected to maturity and Godliness than Whitlock and his 56 years, age doesn’t mean maturity Deion and Shannon is not coming on your show cause you’re Ego won’t allow you to know what being Humble is, it’s always the one’s making accusations that are exactly what they accuse others of being

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. - Matt 23:12

I usually disagree with whitlock but the last 2... Stephen A and Deion Sanders ,he has been spot on about them both

Dude what man of God gets Lil Wayne and Brittany Renner to come talk to his football team….Dee 1 and Bryson Gray are 2 of my favorite rappers ….Bryson is REALLY in the scriptures all the way down to not eating pork and decorating trees….

Jason Whitlock hates Deion Sanders, that's just the end of the story. Deion Sanders doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't curse, helped to raise and mentor Noel Devine, Deion Sanders raised his children, who doesn't drink, who doesn't do drugs, who are college graduates, and are in college. As a coach Deion Sanders is busting his butt along with his coaching staff to keep tabs on his players to stay out of trouble and to stay on top of their grades. Jason Whitlock sees known of that because all Jason Whitlock sees is his own dislike of Deion Sanders, then he hides behind God to masquerade his dislike of Deion Sanders. Jason Whitlock speaks of Deion Sanders lack of humility, yet Jason Whitlock shows his own arrogance because he only sees what he wants to see. Whitlock is being a hypocrite

To call this a debate is disingenuous. More like Whitlock lectures this young man

Philippians 1:15-18 Paul wrote about people preaching the word with bad intentions. He said that we should rejoice in the faith that the word is being taught. Unless Deion is speaking of Christ out of context then it is out of order to dissect this man’s Christian walk 3xs a week for views and content.

If I was a black man and wanted a black man to emulate his walk. Tony Evan’s is that man. Not Jake’s not Osteen . No a true believer even as a white man but not because of color but because of the fruit of his life.

Since when did Christ promote materialism. Money, riches. He got expose railing against the accumulation of money.

i like the tone of this conversation.

Wow hate is real between black men 😢

This guy added nothing to this conversation… Very one sided and underwhelming discourse
