'What Does This Say About NFL Vetting Process?' Pats Kicker Racist Tattoo Sparks Massive Controversy

New England Patriots draft pick, Justin Rohrwasser, received criticism for a tattoo he got when he was 18-years-old. The tattoo on his left forearm resembles the logo of a far-right wing militia group, "The Three Percenters."

Rohrwasser said that he had a different understanding of the tattoo's meaning until recently when someone on social media linked the tattoo with the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va.

He initially told reporters that he would have the tattoo covered up, but recently decided that he will get it removed instead.

Sports Journalist, Howard Bryant spoke with Roland Martin about the controversy surrounding Rohrwasser's tattoo.
