Patriots kicker Rohrwasser will remove 'shameful' rightwing militia tattoo

  • New England selected 23-year-old in last week’s draft
  • Three Percenters have been described as extremist group

New England Patriots kicker Justin Rohrwasser has said he will remove a tattoo that depicts the insignia of a rightwing militia.

Rohrwasser was drafted by the Patriots in the fifth-round of last week’s NFL draft but users on social media swiftly pointed out that he had a tattoo of the Three Percenters on his arm. The group, which advocates for gun rights, has been described as a rightwing militia. They have also been accused of advocating against immigrants, refugees and minorities.
