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.

As an OS Cowboy it was evident to me why he wore it and it didn’t have anything to do with the communist. People jump to conclusions, cherry pick facts and show bias assessing them.

Once again the general level of intelligence on FR is demonstrated to be less than ideal.

Nobody bothers to read the articles and attacks Garth for wearing a BARRY Sanders jersey.

1. Its Detroit where Barry is a hero.
2. Garth, like Barry proudly attended Oklahoma State University

Sometimes people get really triggered on here.

Who knew we had so many snowflakes

Fitzgerald? As in John Fitzgerald Kennedy? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. Garth is a commieliberljerkhead dumby!

This is just embarrassing.

Larry Fitzgerald is a star wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, born in 1983, and a black Republican

John Fitzgerald Kennedy is a former President of the United States who was assassinated 20 years before Larry Fitzgerald was born. He was a white democrat

NO. Not "as in John Fitzgerald Kennedy". The two people really have nothing in common. I guess the first name of one person matches the middle name of the other, which makes some sort of point that has made you respond incredulously (and in all caps). Please accept my apology if you were pretending to be a dumbass to illustrate how a dumbass would respond, and you're really not a dumbass.

"Garth is a commieliberljerkhead dumby!" - Don't forget "poopie head". Garth is a booger-eater too. And ironically, "dumby" is spelled "dummy"

Only if you don't read the rest of the thread where folks are down on Garth for wearing a Barry Sanders jersey.

I'm. Making. Fun. Of. Them.
