On Sunday, a fan went viral for falling asleep during a big American football match between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
In a tweet video, captured by journalist Karisa Maxwell, from inside the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the snoozer, who wasn't rooting for either team, can be seen sitting in his chair, leaning against the stadium wall with his arms folded and eyes closed after paying over Sh700, 000 for ticket.
Kansas City Chiefs fans around him were also too busy standing up and watching the match to even bother waking him up.
She captioned the Twitter video with the message: "Somehow, this man is sleeping through the #SuperBowl. We're still only in the first quarter."

After leading Chiefs to Super Bowl win, the future belongs to Mahomes
The Kansas City Chiefs ended a 50-year Super Bowl drought with a dramatic 31-20 comeback win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a breathtaking finish to the NFL’s 100th season that may have also revealed a new star to kickoff the next century.
The Chiefs’ young quarterback Patrick Mahomes stepped onto America’s biggest sporting stage and produced an enthralling fourth-quarter rally that even the 49ers grudgingly applauded.
The 24-year-old’s performance underscored why he is being called the heir apparent to six-time Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady of the Patriots.
With the Chiefs trailing 20-10, Mahomes engineered three scoring drives in just over five minutes, hitting Travis Kelce and Damien Williams with short touchdown passes to give Kansas City the lead.
Williams then raced 38 yards for the clinching score, sparking wild celebration for long-suffering Chiefs fans who had not seen their team hoist the Lombardi trophy since their victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.
If Chiefs supporters were over-the-moon about the long overdue Super Bowl win at Hard Rock Stadium they will be doubly excited about what the future might hold with Mahomes calling plays for years to come.
With an aging cast of quarterbacking greats marching towards retirement the NFL is searching for the new face of the league and after Sunday’s display Mahomes looks to be the man.
Mahomes, who completed 26 of 42 attempts for 286 yards and threw two touchdown passes, appeared out of sorts for nearly three quarters of the game but took charge when it mattered to earn the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player (MVP) honors.
He becomes the second-youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl and the youngest to claim both NFL and Super Bowl MVP awards.
