Oh. Dear.

We don't know exactly why the guy wanted to hide from the camera, but if his aim was to slip off without anyone noticing it clearly didn't work. The clip was shared on Twitter on Monday, and it's since racked up over 25,000 retweets.

So many retweets, in fact, that the man himself -- sports journalist Manuel D. DeLeon -- eventually came forward.
