New Patriots kicker says he'll cover tattoo related to right-wing militia group [View all]
A kicker drafted in the fifth round by the New England Patriots said he will cover an arm tattoo that is related to a right-wing militia. Shortly after being selected Saturday, Justin Rohrwasser spoke to reporters about the tattoo, which is on his left forearm and shows the symbol of the Three Percenters.
The stated goal of the group, which denies being a militia, is to be “the last defense to protect the citizens of the United States if there ever comes a day when our government takes up arms against the American people.” The Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center classify the Three Percenters as an anti-government extremist group.
Rohrwasser has several other tattoos, including ones that read “Liberty or death” and “Don’t tread on me.” He told the website for Marshall athletics last year that his tattoos ... were “all random.”
It is unclear if Rohrwasser intends to cover the symbol with another tattoo, or simply with a sleeve or other piece of apparel. A spokesman for the Patriots did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
