ESPN apologizes for showing woman flashing her breast during Sugar Bowl broadcast

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
ESPN issued an apology for showing a woman flashing her breasts during Monday's broadcast of the College Football Playoff semifinal between Washington and Texas in the Sugar Bowl.

In the third quarter of the game, ESPN used a shot of a camera going through Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a typical transition done in bowl games to show off the host city before play resumes. In the shot, a woman can be seen looking up and uncovering the top of her shirt, flashing her breast. The woman then covered her chest up before the clip ended.

ESPN acknowledge the incident, apologizing for it being shown to a national audience. “We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast,” ESPN’s Bill Hofheimer said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.

I can't believe they even thought have a live camera feed to Bourbon Street during a major event was even a good idea to begin with. Its fucking Bourbon Street lol

I just mentioned this story to a friend on Discord who still lurks the Nintendo OT on ResetEra and he just let me know that apparently this story was posted there and it turned into a graveyard because of "Boys Club Rhetoric". Members were apparently making light hearted jokes about the whole thing and they banned like 10 people for it.


I went and looked and someone was given a full week ban from the staff for this picture and nothing else.

No commentary. Nothing else. Just the picture.



I usually don't pay attention to the site anymore since I was banned quite awhile ago for being too "Right Wing" for them, but that is absolutely hilarious to me lol

This shit is hilarious to me. My boomer parents mock me for being a liberal, yet I wouldn't last 24 hours there before I'd get banned.

Blows my mind that the forum hasn't completely destroyed itself by now.

I just googled it. Trust me guys, it's nothing to wank over. If anything, it'll make your sausage shrivel up. It's like a half a second flash as the camera is panning down the street and there's lots of people roaming around.

I wont post it as GAF has anti-nudity moderation, but save your google search and dont bother. But still funny though.

A tit was shown. Regardless of mammary quality a job must be lost.


So say the puritan overlords 😤😤

100% true to form for them. I've seen explicit gay threads and posts that are completely ignored and even celebrated, but when a straight man expresses even a mild joking reference to a woman it's "boy's club rhetoric". That's just the tip of the double standard iceberg for that site and its staff, though. Sometimes I miss the thread where we laugh at, shake our heads at, and sometimes feel sorry for them.

You can barely see her face ... She was at a bad angle with her mouth open looking up. So you can't say she's ugly or pretty or anything in-between.

Anyway... Flatchested A-Cup. Nothing to write home about.
But I did, she's ugly to me and what's even uglier is her animal like mannerisms.

I'm never sure why this is such a big deal in general.
In this modern world shouldn't women be able to show their breasts like guys show their nipples?

It's weird that that of all things hasn't changed.
Total prudes when it comes to TV. But typically a very US/Canada thing where network tv can’t even have swearing or a nipple during prime time. I don’t think other countries in the world are so Mother Teresa. Last time I saw, Quebec is way more liberal for T&A than rest of Canada.

And if there’s a slip up, some reason the tv channel has to apologize? Weird.

Pretty sure women are allowed to go topless or breast feed in public and it’s ok. Someone technically does the same thing live tv and it’s government iron fisting.

Makes zero sense.

I remember long time ago a show on PBS during prime time did some show about sex and they literally had a snake cam inside a women’s pussy and showed a dick cum inside her. I was like… WTF? One of those sex education shows. That’s basically hardcore porn if not worse. But a-ok to be shown. Figure that one out.

That's certainly it but it just makes zero sense to me in this day and age.
Of all the silly things people are arguing over, fat shaming body shaming whatever.

You still can't show a bit of breast. Is that not the definition of body shaming?
 
Lol that was essentially nothing, and beyond their control, and they still felt the need to apologise for it smh, that's a pure virtue signal; if they said nothing nobody would care, or forget about it in a day.

I know right lol. Its like half a second and not even the whole tit. Just a sneak peak at half a nipple for like half a second. Blink and you would have missed it lol. Seeing the news headlines you'd think there was a chick ripping off her top and shoving her tits into the camera lens.

its on NBC, ABC, USA Today. Like seriously. Must be a slow news day

You need to get over whatever goes on in your brain.

Nah. You need to get your eyes fixed and stop capping with that "I clearly saw her entire face" when NO ONE did in that short clip...

A smooth brain would think you're being an -ist .... But I know you're just disappointed her tits aren't bigger and weren't out for longer. It's ok. We all do!

Yeah that was a good thread, some really funny shit in it, why can't we have a thread taking the piss out of extremists, I use to do it regularly back when I used Facebook trolling far right, evangelicals, flat earthers etc, also it never stops amazing me how fucked up some people are in this day and age, how their political and social leanings can be so extreme.. I always think of the Stephen King's The Mist and that religious woman and how humans be so easily manipulated and sheep like, if it where me in that situation I would've recognised that shit right away and fucked her out into the carpark before she even had a single follower
