Chinese Commentator Fired For Snoring In Middle Of Champions League Game

The deep and hearty snores you hear are from Chinese commentator Dong Lu during this week’s Real Madrid-PSG Champions League match, and he’s not taking a sly jab at the quality of play. Apparently, Dong really did fall asleep during the game, and his network fired him for it.

According to the , Dong conked out at around the match’s 80-minute mark, which would put the local time at just past 5 a.m. in Beijing. Soccer at the crack of dawn can drain you, but LeTV wasn’t as understanding, and gave him the boot. Here’s hoping his next gig keeps more regular hours.
