ESPN said they were sorry for showing a woman flashing her breasts during the College Football Playoff playoff between Washington and Texas in the Sugar Bowl on Monday.
During the third quarter, ESPN showed a camera moving through Bourbon Street in New Orleans’s French Quarter. This is a common way to show off the host city before the game starts again. Looking up, the picture shows a woman taking off the top of her shirt to show off her breasts. The woman then put her arms around her chest, and the clip stopped.
ESPN admitted that something happened and said they were sorry that it was shown to people all over the country.

A comment from ESPN’s Bill Hofheimer to USA TODAY Sports said, “We’re sorry that this happened and that the video was shown on the show.”
Cities and exteriors are often filmed before the game, and the video of what happened quickly became popular on social media after it showed.
Washington then beat Texas 37–31 to set up a Jan. 8 meeting with Michigan in the College Football Playoff national championship game.
