Keenan Allen learned the hard way that it’s a bad idea to offend your fanbase by wearing the hat of a rival team.
Allen, a North Carolina native, played his college ball at Cal and was drafted in the third round by the San Diego Chargers last month. The wide receiver shared a video on Vine of himself eating at In-N-Out burger, but he was wearing an Oakland Raiders hat in the video. Predictably, that didn’t go over well with Chargers fans, who immediately got on his case.
Allen deleted the Vine video and apologized on Twitter:
I get it fans!!!! Won’t happen again!

Rookie move, Allen. Though, he can always claim he was just taking his lead from Tom Brady.
