Twitter torches Rob Lowe for wearing ‘NFL’ hat at 49ers vs. Packers

Rob Lowe just hopes both teams have fun.

The former star of the "West Wing" was present for the 49ers' NFC Championship Game tilt with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday -- mainly so FOX could hype is upcoming network drama "9-1-1: Lone Star" which premieres tonight. Lowe apparently had no dog in the fight, as he showed up in Santa Clara sporting a very nifty NFL logo hat.

With 49ers hammering the Packers into oblivion, Lowe's hat became the most interesting part of the game, something Sam Seaborn noticed while taking a break from writing speeches for President Bartlet.
