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.

I always thought that about Bruce Springsteen. He was on the cover of Newsweak or Time and he was pretty unknown ( and talentless, imo) at the time of publication.

Absolutely he was a huge Obama supporter and was the main act at Obama’s inauguration pre concert at the Lincoln Memorial.

Nevertheless, he still plays a brand of homogenized pop that ain’t COUNTRY, no matter what he wears on his torso.

Brooks has worn a football jersey before:

2019 concert in Glendale, AZ. Wearing the jersey for Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald.

He's a football fan.

Garth was interviewed for “Miracles Out of Nowhere,” a documentary about the beginnings of the band “Kansas” and their rise to stardom. He outed himself as a big fan of the band, especially their earlier albums.

So he gets a pass from me!

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. The absence of a hammer and sickle on the shirt should be a fairly big clue.
