NFL Fans Not Happy With 'Classless' Photos Of Mike Vrabel's Wife

TMZ Sports is facing heat online for its latest story about the Mike Vrabel, Dianna Russini situation.

Vrabel's wife, Jen, was spotted for the first time since the scandal. She was spotted at the Salt Lake City airport in Utah. Jen Vrabel, who has two sons with her NFL head coach husband, was spotted with her wedding ring on.

"Jen Vrabel appears to be keeping one thing intact amid her husband Mike Vrabel's drama -- her wedding ring. Check out the pics … she was spotted Tuesday morning at Salt Lake City International Airport in her first public appearance since cheating allegations involving Mike and NFL reporter Dianna Russini exploded online … and eagle-eyed observers noticed the ring was still firmly on her finger," they reported.

But NFL fans aren't happy with the spotlight being on Vrabel's wife.

Jen Vrabel, of course, has done nothing wrong. She's just been married to the man who has been making unfortunate headlines.

NFL fans want her privacy to be respected.

Fans call out TMZ Sports for publishing Jen Vrabel airport photos

NFL fans want her to be leaved alone, calling the photos "classless," among other things.

"Leave her and Dianna's husband alone. They aren't the wrongdoers here," one fan wrote.

"She doesn't deserve this!" one fan added.

"Leave her alone," one fan added.

"This crosses a line. Rip Vrabel and Diana all you want but the spouses should be left alone. They married (terrible) human beings and it's bad enough for them that it is national news that they don't need (reporters) following them around taking pictures of them," another fan suggested.

Of course, this has become a national story, but it's not like Jen Vrabel - or Dianna Russini's husband - have asked for any of it.
