What Sporting Event Is The Easiest To Fall Asleep During In Person?

I’m a huge fan of naps. Big, big nap guy. And I can sleep through almost anything. Give me some black out curtains and a loud fan and I’ll sleep until kingdom come. But it always impresses me when people falling asleep at sporting events. Drunk/bored, whatever. It’s a skill set that I just don’t have.

As seen in the video above, last week, a CWS fan named Tim not only fell asleep during the second inning, but he stayed asleep for multiple innings. It was so impressive Laura Rutledge went to check to see if he was alive.

Update: He was alive. Just passed the fuck out.

The College World Series feels like it has been going on for about a month. It’s sooooo long. Plus, Omaha is basically just one dramatic rain delay. There’s really nothing else to do but drink. I’m sure TD Amitrade is selling A LOT of beer right now. It really all adds up.

I can’t confirm if Tim was in fact drunk, but I’m just here to trying to put the pieces together. Tim had too many cold ones IMO. I’m not nap shaming either. Day drinking gets the best of us. I’d also like to point out that Tim has some shitty friends for not waking him up.

The CWS finals start this afternoon with Oregon State taking on Arkansas. So, hopefully Tim got his sleep in over the weekend.

To be fair, if I was going to fall asleep at any sporting event, it would be 10/10 at a baseball game too. Baseball is the type of sport where you can sleep through a couple of innings and not miss a damn thing. Plus, there are 162 of those bad boys. You’ll be just fine if you want to rest your drunk eyes for a little bit.

I know there are a lot of anti-soccer people out there that would say the World Cup is basically Ambien. But let’s be honest, if you’re actually in the stadium for a soccer game, you’re not falling asleep.

Broadcasts should be careful though. People forget that there was a kid who sued ESPN, the announcers, MLB and the Yankees for $10 million dollars for showing him sleeping on a broadcast in 2014. He didn’t win. But man, what a loser.
