Big hits in football aren’t funny anymore, but when someone on a football field not playing football gets got, it often is good for a laugh. A Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader got trucked by a camera operator on the field Sunday, and we can laugh about this because it doesn’t appear that anyone actually got hurt here.
Twitter user Ashley Wagner posted the video on Sunday afternoon from the stands in Arrowhead. The video was accompanied on Twitter by three emojis that look very worried. But what’s coming? It’s not clear at first. There are some kind of military officers walking off the field. Do they do something weird? Cheerleaders are doing a routine. Does the lift stunt not work? Does a fan rush the field?
Nope, a cameraman is about to sprint across the field without any regard for personal space.

How does that even happen? How does the guy running with a camera not see the cheerleaders clearly performing on the field? There’s just… so much field there for him not to smash into a cheerleader in the middle of a routine.
Thankfully, people reported that the cheerleader in question got back up and went back to work after the hit she danced into.
The @Chiefs cheerleader who was leveled is a pro. She got right up and hit the mark within six beats (more or less). @FOXSports

It’s good to know that everyone involved stayed professional and finished doing their jobs.
