Garth Brooks faces backlash after Sanders mix-up online

[WorldEX]

Barry Sanders is an African-American former professional football player known for his stint with the Detroit Lions.

Bernie Sanders is a self-described "Democratic socialist" and the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

You would think it would be hard to get the two mixed up.

Yet fans of Garth Brooks were confused - and angry - after mistaking one for the other after a performance featuring the country music star.

When Brooks took to the stage in Detroit, Michigan wearing the jersey of one of the Lions' most famous players, a numerical coincidence started a backlash online.

Fans thought the number 20 Barry Sanders jersey stood for something else - that Brooks was backing Bernie Sanders for president in 2020.

Wait! He played in Detroit and he wore the jersey of one of their legends. Why did it have to be a subliminal message?

Dog, I am having a REAL hard time if this is satire or if this cat is for real!!! Like folks are really that dumb

 

[Mo-Better]

He should've told the crowd it's time to switch. The nitwit they've been supporting the last 31/2 years has proven himself wrong for America.

No reason if that's his message its a plus. Might even wake others up. Last week it was Clint Eastwood. Just think there's a reason why Trump doesn't want real poll numbers posted.

This is why you never argue with a fool, but remember fools in large groups are extremely dangerous

 

[MistaPhantastic]

Garth Brooks stays fuckin' with them rednecks. I remember when he did this shit:

Muh fucka re-invented himself as a pop star and his fans were mad as hell at his ass for a while.
He had to do a lot of yuckin' and yawin' to get them white folks to start liking him again.
Garth Brook's secret is that he is about as much of a Hollywood liberal as you can get.
And yeah, that jersey was a signal.

He trolls Trumpets on the regular.

 

[Complex]

There's a lot of truth in this...so much so that it' hard to tell.

 

[praetor]

Bernie retired too early. Lol.

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

I think it's obvious at the Kid Rock part, if anybody actually questions it. He spells out the hypocrisy in a way that the people being mocked wouldn't articulate.

[Quek9]

That nigga was able to harness the power of the foolish and the ignorant to win an election. There are way more dumb fools out here than thinking individuals. Russia is laughing all the way to the next election.

Right, I thought he was serious until he said you don't hear Kid Rock talking politics when he sitting in the oval office, you don't hear him talking politics when he's on the golf course with Donald Trump. After he said that, I'm thinking this guy is bullshitting.

 

[MistaPhantastic]

Its not very often that you get to make a triple entender.
But now the question becomes are they madder about supporting Bernie or being friends with a n-----?
