as the Tigers coach went in for a hug during the pair’s postgame exchange.
After JSU earned a 26–12 victory on the road–and during Alabama State’s homecoming festivities–Sanders made his way to midfield to shake Robinson’s hand. The two did so without a problem, but when Sanders went in for a hug, Robinson Jr. blocked him by putting his hand on Sanders’s chest. The awkward interaction sent shockwaves around the college football world, as many observers were surprised to see the postgame exchange play out in the way it did. Deion Sanders Jr., Coach Prime’s son, was among those who weighedthat he was not happy with Sanders’s behavior all week and considered it “disrespectful.
Sanders disagreed with the notion that he was disrespectful, explaining that he didn’t have time to speak with Robinson because Jackson State was late arriving to the game because of traffic. He also added that that Robinson may have felt snubbed because he thought his Hornets were going to take down the undefeated Tigers.. “I don’t know why he would’ve ever thought that. … Secondly, he said that I didn’t come to greet him in the center of the field.
Jackson State will return to action Saturday on the road against Bethune-Cookman in Jacksonville, Fla. Alabama State plays host to Mississippi Valley State on Saturday.
