In the Sugar Bowl Finale, the Washington Huskies took over the Texas Longhorns with a score of 37 – 31, advancing to the College Football Playoff National Championship for the first time in the history of the program. Michael Penix Jr.’s performance was really appreciable, considering that he scored two touchdowns for the team. It was a neck-to-neck match even until the ending moments of the game; ultimately, the Huskies emerged as winners.
Even though the game itself had too much hype, there was one other event that grabbed people’s attention. The game was aired on ESPN, and during the second half of the match, a clip of people wandering on Bourbon Street was shown, which, by the way, is very usual to show during a match because the match was held in New Orleans, until a woman partially flashed her breasts on the camera.
ESPN issues apology for airing inappropriate footage live
The clip, despite being only a few seconds long, caught the attention of many people due to it’s nature and soon became a point of discussion on Twitter. The clip spread like wildfire on Twitter, and people were surprised at how such a clip was aired live on the ESPN channel. Although soon people were again focused on the game, once the game ended, people started questioning again.
Due to the audience’s expectation of a reply to this irresponsible event from ESPN, ESPN’s Bill Hofheimer gave his statement, saying, “We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast.”
Washington Huskies vs. Texas Longhorns was a big match in itself, and airing an inappropriate clip during such an important match is a big blunder from ESPN.
ESPN flashing woman allegedly offered six figures by Adult film company
The woman who was trying to flash her breasts for beads has been offered a real deal. Cam Soda, an adult film company, has invited the woman to do a 1-hour show on their platform. They are ready to offer six figures for the same; they announced this offer on Tuesday and have been in search of the woman since Monday’s game.
Although whether the woman would accept the deal by Cam Soda or not still remains a question because the woman in discussion has not yet disclosed herself after the viral moment.
Do you think that ESPN could have avoided this blunder? Let us know in the comments.
