We Don’t Think Garth Even Knew People Were Freaked Out Over His Sanders Shirt

We seemed to catch him off guard when he called us

Last weekend Garth took to the stage in Detroit in a blue and grey Sanders jersey in honor of Detroit Lions’ Barry Sanders.

Brooks told fans during the show “I was lucky enough to be an athlete and to wear the same uniform as this guy wore in college. I was lucky to go to school with him. You guys got the greatest player in NFL history in my opinion in this jersey. I love this man.”

Brook's comments obviously weren’t heard by several fans who thought Brooks jersey signaled his support of Democratic presidential nominee, Bernie Sanders.  Fans took to Twitter to tweet their distaste and pure anger over the jersey Garth wore, however, others pointed to the fact that he was simply supporting his favorite football player.

But when we brought it up in an interview, he seemed liked he wasn't aware of the internet storm that followed. I guess Garth is so busy, he doesn't even spend much time online? It is kinda hard to hear sometimes in phone interviews, maybe he just didn't hear most of the conversation? What do you think?
