Deion Sanders Jr. jumps to Shilo’s defense

It was not through a social media post or a press conference that Deion Sanders Jr. defended his brother. It was through a direct barb at a reputed sports publication house Sports Illustrated. When SI posted about the criticism the Sanders family has been garnering, especially Shilo Sanders due to his comment, it simply vexed Sanders Jr.

The reason? Sports Illustrated named Deion Sanders the SI Sports Person of the Year 2023, pinning their post of the accolade the first on their profile, and still talking about the criticism thrown at Sanders. The post was later deleted, however, it didn’t stop Sanders Jr. from calling out SI publicly. “Hating while y’all still have our picture pinned at the top of y’all page,” dissed Sanders Jr.
