Generation outlook means the perspective of those from generations past. What generations from the past see in Sanders is something they didn't see in their time. In the past, there was nobody who was as flamboyant as he is. And there was nobody as self-confident as he is. Although you could make a case for Joe Namath, he really didn't take it to the extent that Sanders has taken it.
Past generations try to see the negative instead of the positive.
Everybody makes mistakes, but when Sanders got in an altercation with a cop, people condemned him for it without knowing all the information. Everybody deserves a second chance. And Sanders was found not guilty. Off the field, problems with athletes are looked into too deeply. Like the incident with Michael Irvin.
