Deion Sanders Jr. was involved in a heated exchange with a Texas Tech ball boy on Saturday during Colorado’s win over the Red Raiders in Lubbock.
He’s since responded to the altercation, showing little remorse for his actions.
The tense moment came near the end of the contest following a scoop and score by his brother, Shilo Sanders. After scoring the game-sealing touchdown, Sanders celebrated by mimicking his father’s iconic shuffle in the endzone.
As he returned to the sidelines, ball in hand, a ball boy on the bench stripped the football from his grasp. He was then confronted by Shedeur Sanders and Deion Sanders Jr. face-to-face.
Sanders Jr. shoved the Texas Tech staffer before screaming expletives in his direction. The reaction immediately went viral.

Both sides of the argument can be seen.
It’s the ball boy’s job to corral the football during breaks in the action. That said, he probably went about it the wrong way in this instance.
The reaction from the Sanders brothers was likely a bit over the top, too.
Deion Sanders Jr., however, may not believe so. He doubled down after sizing the Texas Tech ball boy up.

Bucky, as he’s better known, posted a series of photos to his X account celebrating the victory. His final slide showed a clip from the movie Juice.
“I am crazy, but you know what else? I don’t give a f—.”
He’s not worried about the outside perception.

Was he out of line? Perhaps. He doesn’t care! He was standing up for his brother on the sidelines.
He’ll continue to do so as he sees fit.
