What did the Super Bowl LX streaker’s chest say, and have we seen him before?
Messages written on the pitch invader’s body sparked online sleuthing and echoed a strikingly similar Super Bowl stunt from 2024.
Super Bowl LX briefly veered off script Sunday night when a bare-chested pitch invader sprinted onto the field, forcing play to stop early in the fourth quarter as security scrambled to remove him. In fact, New England Patriots player Kyle Williams had to help chase him down.
NBC cameras avoided showing the incident live, but clips quickly surfaced online and eagle-eyed viewers noticed the streaker wasn’t just seeking attention. He appeared to have multiple phrases written across his body, sparking immediate curiosity about what they meant and whether this was more than a random stunt.
According to screenshots circulating on social media, the man had “trade on the sandspot” written across his chest, with “trade with athena” and “fx_alexg” visible on his back.
Those words ring a bell.
A familiar message from a familiar Super Bowl moment?
The writing closely resembles messaging seen during Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, when a shirtless fan ran onto the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
That individual was later identified as Alex Gonzalez, a Miami-based TikTok personality who promoted trading advice online. Gonzalez had his handle, fx_alexg, written across his chest, along with the phrase “set and forget.” He was escorted off the field by security and charged after briefly halting play.
At the time, Gonzalez had built a modest social media following by showcasing a lavish lifestyle and pitching financial trading strategies. The stunt appeared designed to capitalize on Super Bowl viewership, more than 110 million viewers, for viral exposure.
Sunday night’s incident shares several striking similarities. A shirtless pitch invader, promotional-style messaging, the reappearance of fx_alexg, and a brief but disruptive stoppage during live play
As of now, there is no official confirmation that the Super Bowl LX intruder is the same individual involved in 2024. The NFL has not released identifying details, and broadcast partners deliberately avoided amplifying the incident.
The NFL and its broadcast partners maintain a long-standing policy of not airing pitch invasions, aiming to discourage copycat behavior. Still, social media ensures that screenshots, slowed-down clips, and speculation spread within minutes.
That reality has made the Super Bowl an increasingly tempting stage for individuals seeking attention or promotion, even as penalties for field invasion can include lifetime stadium bans and criminal charges.
Whether Sunday night’s streaker turns out to be Alex Gonzalez again, a copycat, or someone entirely different, the intent seemed to be the same, to leverage the biggest game in American sports to broadcast a message, even if it only flashes on screen for seconds. For now, the mystery remains unresolved. But given history, it likely won’t stay that way for long.
