‘I hate Delta’: Passenger says PA announcement blocked his screen during a crucial World Cup penalty kick on a flight

A passenger flying with Delta Air Lines says an in-flight announcement blocked his screen at the exact moment a penalty kick was about to happen during a World Cup match, according to a video he posted on TikTok. The user, who goes by @uboxingboy, said in the clip that the interruption left him frustrated enough to say he would never fly with the airline again. The video has been viewed more than 398,000 times.

As shown in the video, the passenger was watching a World Cup match between South Africa and Mexico on the seatback entertainment screen. The footage shows the game with a score of 0-0 at the 51:06 mark, and the picture itself appeared sharp with little lag, based on what is shown in the clip.
