CBS Miami sports reporter Samantha Rivera stiff-armed an overzealous fan trying to interrupt her report from the NHL Stanley Cup finals—and she did it without ever breaking eye contact with the camera.

CBS Miami sports reporter Samantha Rivera became a viral internet sensation after literally letting nothing—and no one—come between her and her job.

Rivera was delivering a post-game recap of the NHL Stanley Cup finals Game 2 between the Las Vegas Knights and the Florida Panthers when a more-than-enthusiastic attendee tried to get in on the live broadcast.


Without missing a beat, breaking eye contact or even dulling her smile, Rivera straight up stiff-armed the intrusive fan.

Perfectly timed, the no-nonsense reporter was commenting on the celebrating Vegas fans after their Knights won the game 7-2.

Rivera quipped:

"That's the kind of fan you don't want to be."

You can watch the interaction below.

Rivera herself even posted the incident to her Twitter, noting:

“Listen, I don’t give a damn what team you’re rooting for—get the hell out of my face when I’m working and respect that I’m here to do my job.”

She added:

“Excited to get back home to some classy #Panthers fans for game 3!!”

Viewers of the clip were impressed with the way Rivera handled the situation.

Many commented on her technique.













With Las Vegas leading the series 2-0 against the Panthers, there are at least two games left for the pursuit of the best of seven.

Fans, you have been warned.
