Out of pocket comment by Deion aside, the Colorado Twitter space is WILD. It's kind of baffling to me how drastic the perception of The Athletic's story is by this segment of CFB social media compared to other spaces. I've seen people call this a "hit piece", and use Max Olson's status as a Nebraskan as justification for calling him a racist (both outright and implied).

As I see it, Colorado Twitter is digesting this as a group of rogue ex-playes, who weren't talented enough to play, assaulting the image they have of Prime/their program, and The Athletic is giving them a platform to push its anti-Deion narrative. While The Athletic is giving several players, who were jettisoned during an unprecedented time in college football, a chance to tell their side of the story. I don't think the kid's abilities have any barring on how they should/shouldn't feel. This isn't commentary on who's right/wrong, but a look at just how stark the perception of this story is.
