Deion Sanders doesn’t mind criticism: ‘I came out the womb and I was booed’

Deion Sanders is comfortable with his haters. He says they’ve been around his whole life.

In the words of Rico Richie, if you ain’t got no haters, you ain’t poppin’. From his NFL career to his current job as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Sanders has always done things his way.

Naturally, that’s gotten the attention of other people. Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell didn’t like Sanders wearing sunglasses and a hat when addressing the media. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning used the spotlight Sanders and the Buffs have been receiving to motivate his team. “They’re fighting for clicks. We’re fighting for wins.”

Yet, “Coach Prime” isn’t bothered by what others say.

Sanders was recently asked about the messaging from others this season. He quickly said, “”I came out the womb, and I was booed.”

Seemingly unfazed, “Coach Prime” said he doesn’t have a message for detractors or haters and doesn’t take his time to respond.

“I’m not new to this. I’m true to this,” Sanders said emphatically.

Carry on, everybody — nothing to see here.
