KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Olathe man has his own piece of Super Bowl LIV history thanks to Twitter.

The social media company printed NFL-related tweets on some of the confetti that rained down in Miami's Hard Rock Stadium as the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their 31-20 win against the San Francisco 49ers.

Twitter Sports, Twitter's official sports account, chose William Tramp’s tweet as one of the many printed. His tweet states, “If the#chiefs win the super bowl this year, I promise not to make fun of people who put ketchup on steak ever again.”

Tramp said he wrote the tweet as a joke, but it started to gain traction after the Twitter Sports account retweeted it.

"My wife and I have been fans of the Chiefs for a while now and somebody made a comment about how Mahomes likes to put ketchup on his steak, which to some might be considered a sin," Tramp said. "I was thinking to myself, if he can win the Super Bowl, he can put whatever he wants on his steak."

When Tramp asked Twitter Sports for a framed piece of confetti for himself, Twitter Sports prompted a direct message conversation that resulted in that request being granted.

The framed tweet will be hung in Tramp's game room as "a little bit of a brag inside the house."

"We're considering taking out one of the pictures with the kids and replacing it with the tweet," Tramp said, "but we'll see what the wife says about that."
