Sports are filled with entertainment, excitement, and emotion, and the NFL is the biggest sport in the United States. Fans inside the stadium and in front of the television screen are not only entertained by the on-field players. Sometimes, fans can also entertain spectators and viewers with their funny and bizarre activities.
By interrupting the game, fans come inside the pitch and perform a particular activity that even makes the losing team’s players and supporters laugh. In the Super Bowl LV fixture between Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, spectators and players witnessed a moment of madness from a fan in the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
During the game, suddenly, the “Super Bowl Streaker,” bypassing the security guards, came onto the pitch and began running in the field. The individual wore a pink unitard, black shorts, and light green color shoes. From his outfit, it seemed like the fan was promoting an adult website, leading to tremendous controversy.
Did the Super Bowl Streaker get paid for the stunt?
In an investigation after the publicity stunt by the “Super Bowl Streaker” Yuri Andrade revealed that he was paid for what he did. Reports suggested that Andrade himself made a wager of $50,000 on performing the stunt, and besides that, he also earned $374,000.
Since then, the internet has gone wild, and netizens have shared multiple comments on the incident. However, as per the investigation report, he may have earned less than $374,000 because his ticket cost $42k—even the friends of the individual gambled at the $1000 limit on off-shore books such as Bovada.
