People mad online at Garth Brooks because they don't know Barry Sanders from Bernie Sanders
Barry Sanders — the Detroit Lions Hall of Fame running back — and Bernie Sanders — the U.S. senator from Vermont and Democratic Party candidate for president — are different people. Apparently, not everyone knows that.
Country music legend Garth Brooks recently performed at Ford Field in Detroit, home of the Lions, where he took the stage in a Barry Sanders No. 20 jersey. It appeased the roaring crowd of over 70,000 people for obvious reasons. Sanders played his entire professional career in Detroit and rushed for the fourth-most yards in NFL history. Twenty years after his retirement, he remains one of the most beloved and well-known figures in all of Michigan.
After the show, Brooks posted a photo on Facebook showing off the jersey.
Some people in the comments section of the post evidently aren't familiar with one of the greatest running backs in pro football history.
Dozens of comments poured in from people who confused Sanders the athlete with Sanders the politician. One person called Brooks "a big freaking liberal socialist," while another said, "Don't care about your politics. Love your music. Let's keep politics and your entertainment separate."
These commenters seemingly associated the No. 20 with the election year of 2020 and assumed Brooks was making a presidential endorsement.
There's no record of who the country singer supports politically. There is, however, a record of how great the running back was. In fact, there is an abundance of proof. He set 34 FBS records in college and holds 22 more in the NFL.
It doesn't matter what the commenters on Garth Brooks' social media say. It's 2020 and everyone should support Barry Sanders.

What kind of country have we become?
One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”
and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

I had season tickets for Barry's entire career. The Lions did not support him by building a better line. Trump is such a petty little child.

Not really sure how ignorant Trump supporters are (my guess is they are VERY ignorant), but Trump's ignorance is in a class by itself.
He is the Republican president of the United States...and he did not realize that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican also...even though the Republican Party bills itself as "The Party of Lincoln."
What a fucking moron he is.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
