New England Patriots rookie kicker Justin Rohrwasser said in a TV interview Monday that he will have a controversial tattoo on his left forearm removed after backlash in recent days.
Rohrwasser, the Patriots’ fifth-round pick out of Marshall in last weekend’s NFL draft, has a tattoo of the logo of “The Three Percenters” on his left inner forearm. The Three Percenters (sometimes referred to as “III Percenters”) are classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an “anti-government” organization who “vow to use force if necessary to resist what they see as oppressive gun-control laws,” according to a 2015 report by the Kansas City Star.
