Former Detroit Lion Barry Sanders to Garth Brooks: 'Want to Be My VP?'

The Detroit Lions tweet this.

Former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders is having a little fun with the craziness over fans who mistakenly thought country music star Garth Brooks was supporting Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders when he wore a Sanders football jersey at a Ford Field concert. It was really a Barry Sanders tribute.

On Friday, Sanders tweets: 

Hey @garthbrooks, want to be my VP? #Number20for2020 https://t.co/qPhw0lSFCD

Also on Friday,  the Detroit Lions tweet of Barry Sanders:  "He's got our vote."
