We’ve seen plenty of marriage proposals that occurred in sports venues. In November, a Clemson offensive lineman proposed to his girlfriend on Senior Day. In May, an MMA fighter proposed to his lady after winning a match in the cage. Those were pretty sweet, mostly because they had happy endings. One man who proposed during the UCLA-Richmond game in December wasn’t as lucky:
I have to wonder if that was staged. The MC was there with mic in hand for the proposal while the kiss cam was going on, signifying she knew it was coming. She also had little empathy for the man getting rejected. Plus, failed proposals on the jumbotron are popular stunts teams pull during games.
Was it all an act? An LA Times reporter says UCLA told him it was not staged, so I guess we have to go with that. Hey, at least it wasn’t as bad as what happened to Roy Williams.
