ESPN Apologizes After Airing Clip of Woman Flashing Her Breasts During Sugar Bowl Broadcast
ESPN is apologizing after a woman’s NSFW moment on Bourbon Street was inadvertently aired during the network’s broadcast of the Sugar Bowl. In a statement to the Associated Press, ESPN’s Bill Hofheimer expressed regret over the incident, saying, We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast.
During the second half of the game, while the Washington Huskies were playing the Texas Longhorns at Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans, a woman in the French Quarter bared her breasts, and the national broadcast captured the moment during a commercial break.
Meanwhile, the action on the field was equally riveting. Despite trailing by 13 points early in the fourth quarter, the Texas Longhorns fought back and had the opportunity to win the game on a final-minute drive. However, quarterback Quinn Ewers’ last-ditch fourth-down attempt was ruled incomplete, securing a 37-31 victory for the Washington Huskies.
In other college football news, the University of Michigan claimed a thrilling overtime victory against the University of Alabama in the Rose Bowl. The win propelled Michigan to the national championship game for the first time since 1997, led by Heisman finalist quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who passed for 430 yards and two touchdowns.
As the college football season builds up to its climax, Washington and Michigan will soon face off for the national championship. The highly anticipated game is set to take place on Monday, Jan. 8 at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
