When the fans caught wind of the Ted star leaving Super Bowl LI early, they took to social media to accuse him of being a fair-weather fan.
"Coward Mark Wahlberg left the Superbowl early," Twitter user Christopher Buck wrote. "Is that who you want next to you when you're pinned down in a bunker on a Hollywood film set?"
Another fan wrote: "Mark Wahlberg leaving the Super Bowl early is a perfect example that most Patriot Fans are spoiled front runners. #badvibrations."
In response to the fans, Marky Mark wrote this message on Instagram: "I had to leave the game early because my youngest wasn't feeling well. Trust me, I would have loved to be at the stadium - but family first. Doesn't mean I don't love my Patriots too!"
