ESPN Apologizes For Showing Woman Flashing Boob During Sugar Bowl Broadcast
Sugar Bowl Woman Flashes Boob On Camera ... ESPN Apologizes
ESPN is apologizing for showing a woman drop top during its broadcast of the Sugar Bowl on Monday ... saying the NSFW footage should have never seen the light of day.
Football fans were left stunned after the network aired a clip from Bourbon Street while returning from a commercial break in the Washington Huskies vs. Texas Longhorns matchup ... which featured the lady's negotiation for a set of beads by exposing her breast as the camera made its way down the iconic area.
It's common for TV crews to show b-roll of the host city's landmarks during games ... and given the College Football Playoff contest between the No. 2 and 3 seeds was played at New Orleans' Superdome, Bourbon Street is an understandable choice.
But producers probably didn't take into account how things can get a bit raunchy around there ... which was made clear by the video that went viral shortly after it made its way to millions of viewers' screens.
ESPN is owning up to it all ... releasing a statement on the flub to the Associated Press.
"We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast," ESPN P.R. guy Bill Hofheimer said.
Of course, not all fans were outraged over the whole thing ... but maybe play it safe with the St. Louis Cathedral next time??
