People left stunned after woman appears to take photo of her bum during baseball game on live TV

ESPN viewers were left rather amused on Saturday (9 March) when a woman appeared to take a selfie of her bum during a live-streamed baseball game.

Two women have gone viral on social media after they were spotted by fans taking photos of themselves at a college baseball game between East Carolina University and Coastal Carolina University.

The match was broadcast on ESPN Plus, with the women - who appeared to be Coastal Carolina fans - seemingly unaware the telly cameras were focused on them for a couple of minutes as they were snapping away.

In the clip, the women were standing in the crowd, seemingly getting ready to take some photos.

While one could be seen adjusting her cap before holding her phone up towards her face, the other suddenly moved her phone behind her waist and seemed to take a photo of her bum, before showing her friend next to her.

It seemed the commentary team weren't quite sure what to say as the moment played out on live TV, with one explaining: "Selfie time for some fans."

As her glasses could be seen slipping down her face, he added: "Obviously her glasses are not reading glasses."

The commentators were praised for not commenting on what was actually happening during the viral moment.

One wrote online: "Not the announcer making this sm funnier."

Meanwhile, sports journalist Matt Reigle wrote: "My favorite part of that clip is the absolute pros behind the mics looking for anything — anything — to talk about that wasn't that woman apparently snapping a quick pic of her cheeks."

In the end, the cameras panned away from the women and back to the baseball match, but it didn't stop people talking about it online.

Many people thought the incident was hilarious, with several taking to the comments.

Posting a clip of the moment on X, Coastal Carolina alumni Brian Quigley called it the 'greatest moment in ESPN Plus history', adding: "NO WAY SHE JUST GOT CAUGHT TAKING AN A** PIC ON TV."

Meanwhile, others found it equally amusing, with another adding: "Clearly they are huge supporters!"

And a third said: "I think I may know this person, but I don't want to ask just in case I am wrong."

Others praised the camera crew for providing the viral moment, with one saying they 'knew what they were doing' in capturing the selfie.
