A woman who recently attended the College World Series championship game got some unexpected airtime on ESPN while enjoying an ice cream cone, and now, she’s calling out the network in addition to internet weirdos with the emotional maturity of a fifth-grader.
During a game between Texas A&M and Tennessee earlier this week, ESPN featured Annie and her friend, behind the dugout, eating their ice cream to fight the high temperatures at the ballpark.
However, things took a vile turn when the clip went viral and a flood of inappropriate comments were made on the video.
Annie says, 'It was a 20-second segment of just us licking our ice cream. Twenty seconds dedicated to - with commentary - just us eating our ice cream. We all knew what direction that video was gonna head in.'
While the people who made those comments obviously shoulder the vast majority of the blame, Annie still argues ESPN is culpable while claiming it has a history of featuring similar shots during games, saying it “can keep it vague enough and the ambiguity is what protects them.”
