When Vance went to get the football -shaped trophy from a table at the end of the event, the golden, bronze and stainless steel trophy with 24 carats and bronze and stainless steel almost overturned behind it before two players catch it. The base fell to the ground at the dressing of the crowd.

Vance then held the trophy separated from the base.

Although the part designed by Pentagram seems to break, the Trophy and base are two separate pieces so that the 26.5 inch high and 35 pound trophy can be hoisted in the air. The 12 -inch high base weighs around 30 pounds.

Vance, a graduate of Ohio State, joked about his escaped after, say on x“I only wanted anyone after the Ohio State obtained the trophy, so I decided to break it.”

During the celebration, Vance also told his joke at the request to ask if he could skip the last inaugural ball on January 20 to attend the championship match in Atlanta.

“The president said:” No, but we have it in the White House, “said Vance.
