Amid all the hype and drama of Super Bowl LX, one oddball moment almost got lost in the shuffle: a shirtless man sprinting across the field in the middle of the Seattle Seahawks’ win over the New England Patriots. But viewers quickly noticed something unusual—there was a cryptic message scrawled across his bare back.
Millions watching live were left squinting: what exactly did it say, and who was it for? The words, boldly written across his torso, read: “Trade with Athena”, along with the social handle @FXALEXG. Naturally, speculation went wild online. Some wondered if it was political. Others guessed it might be a cryptic protest or viral stunt.
The truth? Less dramatic, but still audacious. The streaker was Alex Gonzales, a day trader on a mission to grow his social media profile. According to reports, this wasn’t his first Super Bowl stunt—he had attempted the same bold move during Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, interrupting the Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers game. Gonzales later admitted: “One of my goals has always been to streak the Super Bowl. I did it now, and I’ll do it again.”
