Who is that naked man running across your television screen? We’ve got the answer.
We talk a lot about athletes being humans around here, but they’re still a kind of removed human. You see them, either in a box in your bedroom or from inside a stadium but on a field or court you’re not allowed to touch. You’re there, but you’re not really there.
Unless you decide to go streaking.
It’s rare that streakers actually ever make us happy. It’s what happens to them that makes us happy. If they go softly, surrendering to security, then they piss us off. But as long as they fight off security for a few moments, make a few guys fall, and eventually get the shit kicked out of them, then we’re all good.
With a number of recent high-profile field invasions, I’m decided to break down the different kinds of streakers. Really, though, I just wanted to look up videos of guys doing dumb stuff and getting tackled by overweight security guards. It’ll be fun, though. I promise.

Celebrity Activist
Meet Jimmy Jump, the famous Spanish streaker/activist/celebrity. Mr. Jump has streaked at a number of big European soccer matches. He made it onto the field at last summer’s World Cup final and tried to put a hat on the trophy. He once threw an “Henry” Barcelona jersey at Thierry Henry while he was plying for Arsenal (Henry later left Arsenal for Barcelona). He’s also invaded the French Open and the Rugby World Cup. Among other things, he’s campaigned for Tibet’s freedom from China and against racism in soccer.
Two days ago, he ran onto the field at the Real Madrid–Barcelona game and tried to put a hat on Cristiano Ronaldo’s head. How he keeps getting into these games, I have no idea.

Drunken Drunkard (also known as Boston Fan):
These guys generally only appear in Boston, specifically at baseball games. A guy this cluelessly wasted could only make it onto the field at Fenway, a stadium that refuses to have any moderately sized outfield walls. It’s either ankle-high or obnoxiously tall. There’s no in between. An attempt to scale a wall any higher than the those around the gimmicky Pesky Pole area, and the Drunken Drunkard will be utterly mangled as he free-falls onto the outfield grass.
But when they survive the entrance, it is glorious.
There is only 1 true profesional in the art of streaking and that is myself. I never disrupt events and always plan on the best way to entertain EVERYBODY in the stadium or wherever i perform. I am THE MASTER!

Dude you just keep getting better. NOW you are really talking my language. I mean I can’t tell you how hard I have had to hold myself back from the urge to undress and go for it. Wife and kids are probably the only thing that kept my shorts on. I will say in a related matter, I was at the final last year against the Lakers. I was sitting on the floor (I know, I know I am a dork not a REAL fan but hey). Kobe was warming up about a foot from me. And then stood there… Read more »
Juan was paid 130 000 USD in total even though he failed to complete the mission.
Please make the correction.
Juan was not paid 130,000 USD nor was anything else you have said been true. Battlecam has been given a bad name because of you Alki David. you claimed to have paid this man so many numerous amounts yet never produced any proof of such. He did not fail, your just a cheap rich guy.
Pay the man his million and maybe you might regain my respect.
