Shilo Sanders doubles down on misogynistic ‘sandwich’ comment to female reporter
AI bias-comparison
Shilo Sanders, a free-agent safety and brother of quarterback Shedeur Sanders, drew criticism for telling veteran Cleveland Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot to “go make a sandwich” in the comments section of a social media video. The video, posted by Cabot, discussed the Browns’ decision to name Deshaun Watson the starting quarterback over Shedeur Sanders. Sanders’ comment, widely interpreted as dismissive and gendered, sparked backlash across sports media.
Coverage diverges sharply in framing: right-leaning outlets like the Daily Caller and OutKick emphasize Sanders defending his brother and frame the incident as a family loyalty dispute, downplaying the gendered nature of the remark. The New York Post and Newsweek highlight the confrontation but differ in tone—the Post calls the comment “misogynistic” and notes Sanders doubling down, while Newsweek describes it as a “blast” against Cabot’s analysis without focusing on gender. Yahoo Sports, the only center-leaning source, neutrally reports the backlash without editorializing the remark’s implications.
No outlet in the cluster examines Cabot’s reporting history in depth or contextualizes how female sports journalists are disproportionately targeted online, a blind spot especially evident in right-leaning coverage that frames the exchange as purely partisan or familial.
