Aaron Rodgers has been a Wisconsin superfan during the Badgers' run through the West region of the NCAA Tournament. He's celebrated in the locker room, and on Saturday night he made it onto the court to congratulate Sam Dekker on his onions.

But — *gasp* — the Packers quarterback went to Cal, not Wisconsin, and the Badgers were playing a Pac-12 team to boot. This is sports! So even though he's worked in Wisconsin for 10 years, some people on Twitter are mad.
@AaronRodgers12 no one asked you, Aaron. How did Cal do in the Tourney???

.@AaronRodgers12 #GoBears too, right? Okay, cool.

Grown adult reporter Dennis Dodd is even more upset because Rodgers had a better view of the Badgers cutting down the nets after securing a Final Four berth.
Dear Wisco fan: If it was about the Badgers, then why was A Rodgers on court? Credentialed media only.

Here's the equivalent of what A Rodgers did today. I crash his wedding to Olivia because I'm a big "fan."

Having said all this, I will not say a word when Ashley Judd shows up at Kentucky pressers in Indy.
— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) March 29, 2015
Cool.
Anyway, this is all pretty silly! Luckily, Rodgers shut the whole thing down with a few tweets.
To the biggest twitter crybaby of the night, I had a pass to be on the court. Send your complaints to the A.D. #quitcrying #youreajoke

Also with interview requests, sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it's no. I'm not there for u, I'm there to support my friends n UW.
