Bomani Jones Says He’ll Likely Support Deion At Colorado, Despite Leaving JSU

Lots of people are beyond pissed at Deion Sanders for leaving Jackson State — however, Bomani Jones, in spite of what individuals believe, isn’t among ’em, … informing us he’s “not even really that upset” with Coach Prime’s transfer to the University of Colorado.

Bomani signed up with “TMZ Live” on Wednesday … to talk about the reaction he’s gotten for relatively entering on Sanders after revealing he was bolting from JSU in favor of the Buffaloes.

“I don’t think that many people are really that upset at Deion,” Bomani stated. “But, we are in a time where legitimate, honest criticism of a public figure somehow turns into hating or tearing this dude when all I’m saying is, ‘You said this one thing, then you did this thing.'”

Jones confesses that Sanders, who went 27-5 in 3 seasons and won back-to-back SWAC champions with the Tigers, achieved a lot throughout his time at the JSU … however some folks are distressed by his relocation due to the fact that he overpromised and under-delivered.

“That is the cause for anger from a lot of people,” Bomani stated. “It’s simply that he sold a bill of goods that he didn’t really deliver on. He did a lot while he was at Jackson, but this larger idea that he was doing this for someone else was wrong.”

Bomani stated he saw Prime’s choice to leave JSU coming a mile away … which he would not have a problem with it had the previous NFL super star mentioned his objectives in advance, rather of leading individuals to think that there was a larger strategy running at hand.

“He was in this to get to the place where he is in,” Jones stated. “Congratulations for getting there, but we don’t have to act like its more noble than it actually is. You have to reconcile what you said with ultimately what you did.”

In spite of the combined response Deion has actually been dealing with, Bomani does not think that Black individuals will turn their backs on Sanders or root for him to stop working at Colorado given that he’s no longer training at a Historically Black College & University (HBCU).
