I think you have more than like Sheder Sanders? Sorry, friend. We are all just starting here.
Sanders, the brand new Choice of Fifth Round of Cleveland Browns, is the last product of the renowned of the 21st century, a figure (for the moment) famous for being famous. Perhaps he will be a star in the NFL, maybe he will be a What-Happened-TO, but in this offseason, he stands straight at the center of the NFL world. For what? Ask your grandmother.

As popular and rooted as sports are in American culture, very few athletes pass the grandmother's test-as in your non-sporting grandmother who knows who this athlete is? You can probably make the list yourself: LeBron James or Patrick Mahomes, yes. Shohei Ohtani, perhaps. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Jayden Daniels, no.
The grandmother's test is not an indictment of the capacity of a player, and it is certainly not an indictment of your grandmother, who is wonderful and has more important things to fear than, let's say, the Hall of the Pittsburgh Steelers Quarter. But here is a little secret for sports media: we pay particular attention to the grandmother test, because if an athlete has pierced and reached the dominant American current, people want to know everything that there is to know about this athlete … and who are we going to deny you?

The preceding champions of grandmother of tests include Jeremy Lin, Tim Tebow, Danica Patrick and the coach Prime, figures of which each movement, stated and publication on social networks creates a media frenzy. May they really be good, it doesn't matter; The combination of charisma and the story creates a media threw around them, generating gusts of reactions and hot intake with each cycle of news. The fire of joy is always exhausted, but for a few weeks, months or years, it is essential.
And now we have another silhouette on our hands here with SheDer. When The United States in practice in office in the United States springs on you on social networksYou did it. The representative of Sanders pushes even faster than the unlimited ego of his father, and that leads people in very strange paths.
For example, the trial of $ 100 million posted against the NFL this week before the American district court in Georgia. Face, the trial seems to adapt to the most fundamental definition of “frivolous” – A four -page complaint Deposited by a applicant John Doe accusing the NFL of having inflicted “emotional distress and trauma on the applicant as a fan and consumer”. (Given that the applicant filed this complaint before a federal court outside Atlanta, we can think of several other entities related to the NFL closer to home emotional distress … But we get out.)

It should be noted that anyone can take legal action for any reason, even the frustration that your favorite player has dropped into the fifth round of the NFL recovery. The complaint was filed “in Forma Pauperis”, which means that the applicant did not have the financial means to pay the deposit costs. These prosecution usually end up rejecting fairly quickly. Mr. DOE is unlikely to see a nine -figure salary and wholesale the NFL project project as a result of this trial.
But the merits of the costume are not the important thing here, its existence is. Whether it is because of its talent, its name, its presence, its potential or its behavior, Sheder Sanders attracts the attention of the White House to your grandmother's house. And there are no lukewarm opinions here. Hell, even the number he will wear in Cleveland generated a controversy mini-tornado When he did not obtain his n ° 2 to the Retirement du Colorado.
With Cleveland miniicamp recruit from this weekendSanders analyzes and hot sockets are about to reach orbit. Prepare yourself now, because the rest of the world of sport is. Back during the draft, Mel Kiper d'Espn was the first to put himself in a foam on Sheder Sanders in the NFL. It is clear that he will not be the last.
