NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans running back Chris Johnson seems to be finding out about the downside of Twitter during his contract holdout.

Johnson tweeted Wednesday that "fake Titan fans" should shut up. Fans are calling him greedy and saying his contract demands are too high.

Johnson went on to write, "I don't have a regular job so don't compare me to you and I can care less if uthink I'm greedy."

He earlier tweeted his thanks to people praying for him through his "situation."

"Regular job?" Asshole.

1. I honestly don't have a problem with he said

It is different than a regular job in that a regular job, they work for set wages, in the NFL, players sell their talents to the highest bidder or best location and in that case Johnson is grossly underpaid.

2. See, I do...

I think it's condescending, and I think he meant it that way...that "little people" shouldn't try and compare their situation with such a megastar as himself.

3. Athletes should never take on the fans

If absolutely necessary, let the agent do it. Better yet, develop a thicker skin.
