It doesn't take much to get football fans riled up, and NFL rookie Laquon Treadwell is learning that pretty quickly.

Treadwell posted a harmless video on Snapchat the other day in which he just so happened to be wearing an Oakland Raiders hat.

The "problem" with that is the Minnesota Vikings drafted Treadwell with the 23rd pick in the 2016 draft, and you can imagine how this went over with his new fans.

trade this fool @Vikings

@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?

Treadwell played at Ole Miss and grew up in Illinois, so it's not exactly clear why he was wearing the Raiders hat or how far back his Oakland fandom goes.

The important thing, though, is that Treadwell is fired up to play receiver for the Vikings this fall and nobody will be roasting him when he's catching TD's from Teddy B.
