Sports commentator and contributing writer Jemele Hill has an issue with the New England Patriots’ recent draft pick who sports a white supremacist tattoo, according to BET.
“Obviously, it evolved into something that I do not want to represent and when I look back at it, I should have done way more research before I put any mark or symbol on my body,” Rohrwasser told USA Today. “It is not something I ever want to represent, so it will be covered.”
Rohrwasser told reporters on a conference call that he will cover the logo, which has Roman numerals III surrounded by stars. Rohrwasser claimed he believed that the organization stood for support of the U.S. military when he got the tattoo as a teenager. He said he wishes he had done some research before he got the tattoo.

Patriots kicker is a white supremacist. My bad, he tends to like white supremacist things. Carry on, nothing to see here. https://twitter.com/rzstprogramming/status/1254200757655678976 …

THREAD: Patriots Kicker Justin Rohrwasser’s social media activity.
Yes, he does have has a “Three Percenter” tattoo.
He also said he did some of his own tattoos with a sewing needle.
The just-drafted kicker has since deleted his Twitter account that showed the racist rhetoric that he liked and commented on.

For those scoring at home, a white supremacist found a job in the NFL, but Colin Kaepernick isn’t welcome.
