Others on Twitter felt that Tomlin shouldn’t behave this way, with one writing, ‘These people need to remember they arent that different than actors: WE pay their paychecks as fans. If it wasnt for US caring about what they do, enjoying watching them play & buying tickets to their games & wearing their jerseys, they would be working regular jobs like us.’
