Super Bowl LX was briefly halted during the fourth quarter when a streaker ran onto the field at Levi’s Stadium, displaying a three-word promotional message on his back before being tackled by security
Super Bowl LX was momentarily brought to a standstill after a streaker invaded the pitch, with focus swiftly shifting to the three-word slogan scrawled across his back. The disruption occurred during the fourth quarter, prompting stadium security to spring into action.
The intruder was brought down near the halfway line, with New England Patriots wideout Kyle Williams assisting in tracking him before security staff removed him from the turf. NBC opted not to broadcast the streaker live, adhering to league guidelines aimed at deterring similar incidents, though footage rapidly emerged across social platforms.
As he dashed across the Levi’s Stadium pitch during the showpiece between the Patriots and Seahawks, cameras captured a distinct view of the words “Trade with Athena” emblazoned across his exposed back, alongside the social media username, ‘fxalexg.’

The slogan seemed to be a marketing ploy linked to Alex Gonzalez’s online trading identity. Gonzalez has cultivated a fanbase by positioning himself as a profitable trader, regularly sharing clips featuring high-end motors, lavish properties and substantial earnings.
The expression “Trade with Athena” is connected to his trading enterprise, which he has advertised across Instagram, YouTube and various other channels. Gonzalez himself, meanwhile, is no stranger to Super Bowl controversy.
He previously invaded the pitch during Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 at Allegiant Stadium, once again using the opportunity to promote his social media handle.
After that incident, he was hit with misdemeanour charges for prohibited conduct at a sporting event, alongside further legal troubles stemming from his arrest.

Despite facing those consequences, Gonzalez later boasted that the stunt had boosted his online brand and bank balance.
In previous social media posts, he has openly declared that streaking the Super Bowl was a personal ambition and portrayed the legal ramifications as simply the price of publicity.
After the 2024 Super Bowl, he said: “One of my goals has always been to streak the Super Bowl. I did it now, and I’ll do it again.”
With both teams’ attacks failing to build any momentum, the streaker’s dash prompted jokes online that it was the longest gain of the match up to that point.
The NFL has consistently stressed harsh penalties for pitch invasions, highlighting safety concerns for players, officials and supporters.
While streakers have become part of Super Bowl legend, the league continues to discourage such behaviour by minimising coverage and pursuing legal action where appropriate.
