When the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the San Francisco 49ers and two streakers attempted to rush the field, this eye-rolling incident marked one of many similar stunts that, ahem, overserved fans attempted to pull during the big game.
Fans will recall when in 2004, a streaker had to be restrained by police when he burst onto the field following Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's infamous halftime performance.
“I can’t do it during the game,” the famed streaker explained later. “It has to be before the game is in play. I don’t want to interrupt the game … I’m a professional.”
He also said, "The whole reason I did it was to entertain people, America. If making people laugh is a criminal offense, I should be sentenced to prison for life."
Well, he didn't go to jail for life. Instead, he paid a fine of $1,000 and that was about it.
The 2021 Super Bowl streaker endured a steeper punishment for his primetime antics. He had to serve 100 hours of community service and reportedly also had to serve a year of probation.
It's being reported that the men who "entertained" America with their shirtless romp on the field will be subject to a similar fate of community service and probation. Like Mark, they may also be fined for trespassing.
