Corporate Marketing in Sports, The Blind Side Myth

Deion Sanders created the "Prime Time" persona as a marketing tool to increase his earnings as a cornerback. The hosts debunk the idea that Sanders' mother paid for his luxury items at Florida State, suggesting instead that boosters provided these perks. They also critique the movie *The Blind Side* as a sanitized version of the "booster" system, where wealthy white families "adopt" black athletes to route them to specific universities.
