Vikings' Treadwell wears Raiders hat, gets roasted
It's easy to forget NFL players are fans just like everyone else before they enter the league, but, nonetheless, they must abide by some unwritten rules.
One of those rules is fairly obvious: Don't support other teams. No matter what.
Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray got a rude awakening to that rule when he had the logo of the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs tattooed on his back in March.
Minnesota Vikings rookie receiver Laquon Treadwell didn't go as far as inking his skin, but he's been under fire by the team's social media police since posting a video to Snapchat while wearing an Oakland Raiders hat.

@SuccessfulQuon Next time you need a Black Cap I'll send you @Vikings. When you put that hat on at draft it means you represent the purple.

@Vikings soooo after seeing Treadwell in a Raiders hat, can we trade him for Amari Cooper or what?

Raiders fans, on the other hand, are quite pleased with Treadwell's hat choice.
Hey Laquon Treadwell, save that #Raiders hat. Maybe when you're done with the #Vikings, you can come on over to The Dark Side. Coop & Tread.
