Avast, me hearties! This here Colorado Buffaloes scallywag, Shilo Sanders, be wantin' to give a good ol' thrashin' to Colorado State's Henry Blackburn for his attack on the mighty Travis Hunter, a true swashbuckler of the field. Arr!
In true 17th-century pirate fashion, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders held nothing back when expressing his thoughts on the hit delivered by Colorado State defensive back Henry Blackburn on his teammate, Travis Hunter. The late hit in the first half left Hunter requiring a trip to the hospital and resulted in an unnecessary roughness penalty. Sanders made it clear that he wanted to "whoop" Blackburn for his actions, stating that losing Hunter was like losing two players since he played offense and defense.Sanders expressed his frustration at the lack of punishment for Blackburn, claiming that if he had done something similar, he would have been kicked off the team. The hit had many people upset, with Colorado State's athletic director, Joe Parker, revealing that Blackburn had received death threats. Parker emphasized that Blackburn never intended to harm anyone on the field and condemned the vitriol directed at him. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders also spoke out against the death threats, stating that Blackburn is just a young man trying to pursue his dreams and does not deserve such treatment.
Unfortunately, Colorado will have to face their upcoming game against No. 10 Oregon without Hunter, who will be out due to the hit. The incident has ignited a heated debate about player safety and the consequences for dangerous plays on the field. In the world of pirates, this hit would surely warrant a swashbuckling showdown after the game, but in modern football, the repercussions seem milder. The clash between Colorado and Colorado State has taken a dark turn with death threats overshadowing the game, highlighting the need for sportsmanship and respect for the players involved.
