ESPN was trying to take fans through Bourbon Street.

ESPN is easily the biggest sports network in the United States. Overall, the network has brought millions of fans some of the best coverage of the biggest sports. Of course, one of the sports that they cover is college football. College football had an amazing weekend as there were plenty of massive Bowl games. Of course, there was the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl, which led to the National Championship Finalists being crowned. The final game, which goes down next Monday, will be between Michigan and Washington.

During the Sugar Bowl, ESPN took fans through the streets of New Orleans. While going to or coming back from commercials, there would be shots of the city. At one point, the network tried to go down Bourbon Street. Overall, this is an ambitious idea given the debauchery that takes place on that street. Well, ESPN learned that the hard way as a woman flashed her breasts during a stroll down the street. It was an unfortunate moment as there was no real way for the network to censor it.

ESPN Has To Say Sorry

Bill Hofheimer, a spokesman for ESPN, told the Associated Press that the network was extremely sorry for what went down. “We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast,” he said. Needless to say, ESPN will have to be more careful moving forward. However, it is easy to see how a mistake like this could be made.
