ESPN has issued an apology for showing a woman flashing her breast during the network’s coverage of the Sugar Bowl on Monday night. The incident occurred as the network showed partygoers walking on Bourbon Street in New Orleans as the telecast returned from a commercial break during the Washington-Texas matchup.
“We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast,” ESPN spokesperson Bill Hofheimer told the Associated Press.
ESPN has endured its share of miscues during bowl season, from mislabeling the rankings for Alabama and Michigan during College GameDay to using Arkansas’s logo to represent Arkansas State. This mistake only happened for a brief moment, but it was enough for the video to go viral on social media.
