Sanders on subpoena: 'When you're him, you get sued'

Colorado coach Deion Sanders faces a subpoena to testify at a trial involving his son, Shilo, beginning on Monday, August 31—five days before Colorado's first game of the 2026 season. Despite the timing, Sanders disputes the notion that the situation will be a distraction. slot-chickenroad.org

'Do you think that's my first subpoena?' Sanders told reporters. 'When you have "it," when you're "him," you get sued. You have off-the-field foolishness that if someone really sat down and explained it to you, you would say, "You've got to be kidding." But it is what it is.' Sanders also noted that successful people who make a difference often face lawsuits. The coach is not a defendant in this case but is separately facing a lawsuit regarding the development of his 'Prime' logo.
