Deion Sanders Is Now Arguing With Random Trolls Online

Deion Sanders apparently thinks arguing online is a good use of his time.

Sanders and his star QB son Shedeur are taking a bit of fire after the latter called his former teammate Xavier Smith "mid" (slang for not very good) in a now-viral tweet.

The tweet was in response to Smith claiming Deion never really attempted to get to know him prior to him entering the portal. All things considered, it's a pretty petty and stupid situation.

Yet, that didn't stop Deion from escalating.

Deion Sanders argues with online troll.

Instead of focusing on what matters - improving and winning - Deion took some time out of what I would assume is a busy May day to *check notes* beef on X over his son.

An account with 198 followers, no real name and no real featured image tweeted at Deion, "Tell yo son stop act like he the coldest out here then put up a 4-8 season."

How did Deion react? by letting him know Shedeur will be a top five pick, which is far from a guarantee. But, hey, why not say it anyway?

I think a lot of us can agree Deion is entertaining and captivating. That's why Boulder was in the national spotlight last season.

The team also jumped out to a very hot 3-0 start. Do we all remember what happened next? The wheels fell off and Colorado went 1-8 in its final nine games.

Perhaps, Deion Sanders should worry more about winning more than four games than arguing with a person who has 198 followers. Just a little food for thought.

Deion only winning four games in year one in Boulder wasn't a big deal. However, people are expecting significant improvement in year two. Things like this dumb tweet won't be forgotten if the 2024 campaign is disappointing. That's a guarantee. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
