The Prime Time brand might be bigger than the sport he endorses. Deion Sanders houses a persona that goes beyond his multi-sport star identity and touches upon that of an equally successful college football coach, an incredible pitchman, and a popular television personality. He has been part of mainstream popular culture for 35 years. That too, in ways that extended his appearance in popular brand campaigns including Pizza Hut, Pepsi, and Nike commercials in the early 1990s, making appearances in rap videos and his own reality show, and even hosting a Miss USA pageant.

Sanders, in one way or another, has been a persistent presence in American lives for decades. As suggested by actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a personality as gravitating as his, he might also be an ideal fit for an alternative career path.

Former California governor calls on Colorado?s Coach Prime

In a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed the view that American politics is in urgent need of a leader who is willing to bridge ideological divides and deliver tangible results. “We need a leader who has the energy to bring people together, who sells that idea, and who is convincing enough to bring people together because they want to work together,” Schwarzenegger pointed out, highlighting the qualities of a leader.?

“I mean, what it needs is someone in politics like Deion Sanders,” he continued stressing how American politics needed someone who was able to talk about ?the bigger picture? instead of harping on the details, ?Just talk about the big picture: We got to go and be No. 1 as a country, and this is what we need to do, and we need to have everyone come together.?

Schwarzenegger, who held the governorship of California from 2003 to 2011, has been recognized for his moderate positions on topics such as abortion and environmental protection, which stand in contrast to the more conservative factions within the Republican Party. Schwarzenegger?s suggestion, however, comes as a stark contrast to a brutal truth about the country that Sanders had earlier pointed out.?

Deion Sanders?s brutal take on America

Addressing a gathering of automobile dealers during the annual convention of the National Automobile Dealers Association, Deion Sanders expressed his candid views on the present political ambiance of America. ?We?ve got a soft country right now!? said Sanders before calling upon the audience to applaud themselves since, ?You all are providers, leaders, and conduits of change?We gotta get back to the basics.?

Coach Prime has been anything but soft with his band of college boys. Within less than a year of assuming leadership, he was not only able to turn over an 11-1 team to a 3-2 team but also turn the Colorado Buffaloes into a national spectacle. Previously, he could oversee such a miracle with Jackson State University and people can not help but imagine what a wave of change he might bring on a national scale if he were to assume a political office.
