This is one of the oldest running jokes and now liberal heads are collectively exploding?
Prom season is here for millions of Americans and the photos that come with it, but a “joke” picture posted Saturday by a former NFL kicker holding a gun between his daughter and her date has sparked outrage by some online.
Jay Feely, who played for the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants and Jets, posted a picture showing his left arm around his daughter, who is rolling her eyes at her father. In his right hand is a gun next to her date, who sports a slight grin.
“Wishing my beautiful daughter and her date a great time at prom #BadBoys,” Feely wrote, referring to a scene from the movie “Bad Boys 2.”
