Country music legend Garth Brooks posted a picture of himself in a "Sanders" jersey after his packed show Saturday night in Detroit, which created a bit of misguided outrage and confusion online.

Brooks wore the No. 20 jersey of former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders – a football legend in the city and NFL Hall of Famer – which caused some of his Instagram followers to mistakenly attack him for being a Bernie Sanders supporter.

In other words, EVERY ONE OF THOSE OUTRAGED INSTATGRAM "FOLLOWERS" IS A BOOGER-EATING-MORON!!!

“Bad rock with a fiddle” is what the late Tom Petty called it.

That said, Garth is an OSU guy. Especially if he’s playing in Detroit, he gets to wear a Sanders jersey. Best RB ever...

Who wouldn’t know that?

Idjit. Jes cauz he wears a cowboy hat don’t mean he’s COUNTRY!

Does EVERYONE just read the headline? It was Barry SANDERS, #20 the great running back that was on the Detroit Lions.

Nope! Country done left the conservative corral a LONG time ago. Butt, probably NOT a brilliant idear to PO half your audience. Lucky for ‘garf’ he can probably make it with what he’s got in the bank anyway. Dumbassery abounds in every corner.

Many tourists from Japan in Vegas. I had several come up and want their picture taken with me because I looked like Garth Brooks. It was amusing. I did bare a resemblance to him at the time.

All roo round-eyes rook arike.

Garth Brooks net worth $350 million.
He could keep $1 million and give the $349 million to Bernie bro’s.

Is our side as dumb as theirs? Really?

Even if he was wearing a Trump shirt, his music would STILL be not “Country” as originally defined. His music is Crossover Pop with a Country flavor.

Well, I’m not into football, so there’s THAT.

And Tom Petty is right.

[mmichaels1970]

I couldn’t find a picture, but a football jersey is a rather distinct item of clothing and should be easily distinguished from a Comrade Bernie jersey.

See post #33.

“Nope! Country done left the conservative corral a LONG time ago.”

Indeed.

I agree. But then, that applies to most music. "Rock N Roll" no longer sounds like Chuck Berry.

“Rock N Roll” no longer sounds like Chuck Berry.

Perhaps not, But as a re-seller of old Vinyl, I can attest that the hottest sellers are 50-year-old Classic Rock. The old stuff is still good. In fact, people long for it.

That’s exactly what he did

He baited the Trump supporters who overpaid to see this chump insult them

He does indeed have friends in low places . . . the lowest ones

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Thanks. That is definitely a sports jersey. I hate it when my peeps get stupid.

[Katya]

super silly.... i’d think we’d want Sanders to win.

And if you believe he can win the general.... also remember the DNC hates him, and he will end up with a congress stalling him just like trump had the first two years.

LOL! I had to grin a little the other day shopping at “Savers” with Mrs. rktman. A young lady in her late 20s(?) was buying two Beatles albums and a Beatles cd that she found in the record bin. Maybe all is not lost. :-)

I’ve cleaned out Savers! hahaha

Garth the douche, give up your millions stupid
