Update: Duquesne University issued a statement Thursday saying it “was a prank, planned in advance.”
I truly love how this guy didn’t give a single damn.
Being 32 years old, nothing much is new to me in sports nowadays. I’ve seen pretty much all there is in this realm (with the exception of my Miami Dolphins winning a Super Bowl), but the more we creep into this digital era where you can see, do and order whatever you want online, I have a feeling we all are about to have fresh experiences.
In fact, it’s already happening. Take Wednesday night, for example.
During the Loyola Chicago-Duquesne college basketball game Jan. 25, with 16:30 remaining in the game, a player from Loyola Chicago had the ball near the right baseline when someone who appears to be a deliveryman walked right onto the court looking for the recipient of the McDonald’s he was holding.
Officials called a timeout to usher the apparent delivery man off the court, leaving the game’s announcers stunned.

Everyone keeps asking me what happened with the door dash guy on the court at tonights game. Here was my angle.

But things did not end there. A little later in the game, the guy still seemed to be searching for the rightful owner of the food, as cameras spotted him walking around the arena with a bag and drink.

Now that’s dedication.
Not only did my man walk on the court not giving a single damn about what anybody thought, but after he forced the referees to call a timeout and halt a college basketball game, he was still walking around the arena, seemingly looking for whoever ordered the food.
