Since becoming a co-owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves Alex Rodríguez has tried to endear himself to Minnesotans.
But on Saturday night, Rodríguez took a step in the wrong direction, showing up to Lambeau Field wearing the colors of the Green Bay Packers.

Rodríguez was spotted in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s game between the Packers and the San Francisco 49ers and it was not taken well on social media.
He owns the Wolves, Twins and now the minds of Vikings fans. https://t.co/fvCXSJOaIF

Alex Rodriguez being in Green Bay supporting the Packers on Hockey Day Minnesota should be a felony.

Alex Rodriguez in a GB hat is… confusing?

Packer fans also were upset with Rodríguez’s appearance, blaming him for the 13-10 loss.
All I’m saying is the Packers were doing fine until they showed A-Rod on the screen…… pic.twitter.com/923GCktpmt

Some even wondered if Rodríguez had an underlying fandom that could spell disaster for the future of the Timberwolves.
He's not welcome in Minnesota

Rodríguez appeared to do some damage control after the game, saying that attending a game at Lambeau Field was a bucket list item. But after years of tormenting Minnesota sports fans, it appears he still he has some lessons to learn.
