Athletes Caught In The Most Awkward Moments Of Their Careers
Cheerleader’s Tumble Turns into Viral Laughs Before Corporate Reality Hits Hard
A lighthearted moment during the Dallas Cowboys’ 2011 Thanksgiving game against Miami saw cheerleader Melissa Kellerman laughing after an unexpected tumble onto the field. Dallas tight end Jason Witten accidentally knocked her over in the fourth quarter. Instead of being flustered, she laughed it off like a true pro.
The internet quickly latched onto the moment, and Melissa gained 1,000 Twitter followers overnight. However, the Cowboys’ corporate office didn’t share in the fun, as she was asked to shut down her social media account. Even so, the photo remains a fan favorite, proving that a bit of laughter goes a long way, even on the field.
