A college basketball game in the US was interrupted when an agent from an online food delivery company, Uber Eats, went on the court in an attempt to deliver the order.
The unnamed delivery guy was caught on camera trying to look for the person who placed the order amid the ongoing match. His presence on the court caused the organizers to pause the game briefly. As per ESPN, the McDonald’s order was later delivered to a referee who had placed the order.
The incident occurred during a college basketball match between Loyola Chicago Ramblers and Duquesne Dukes on Wednesday. The video capturing the delivery man’s presence on the court is going viral.

In the video, the commentators are heard pointing out the delivery man in disbelief. One of the commentators says, “Was he going to deliver the McDonald’s to somebody on the court?” Can we rule that out?”.
The ref came by and said that it was a first for him. Also the guy who was supposed to get the food is on the video board. He got his MCDs https://t.co/7D8vd3YdtU

While many people are jokingly appreciating the delivery guy’s dedication, some also raised concerns about security during the game.
Commenting on the video, a Twitter user wrote, “So, instead of paying for a ticket to a game all I have to do is grab a happy meal and slap a Uber eats label on it? How’d he get into the building?”. Another person remarked, “That delivery person had a job to do. Ain’t no basketball game gonna get in the way.”
