Believe it or not, some non-football fans think that the sport is boring. That not much happens and it would put you to sleep. So when someone falls asleep during a big Champions League game between Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain, it doesn't seem like a great advertisement for the game.
But that's what happened to Dong Lu, a veteran Chinese commentator as part of LeTV's Champions League coverage. When you think of the time difference between China and eastern Europe then it's a bit more understandable as to why Lu would fall asleep.
You can hear Lu nodding off in the clip above, and LeTV prompted released Lu from this duties.
