ESPN's camera crew is under fire this week for shining the spotlight on a female fan during the fourth quarter of the College Football Playoff National Championship between Miami and Indiana.
Despite trailing Indiana throughout the national championship, Miami had the chance to pull off a game-winning drive. Unfortunately for Carson Beck, his deep pass down the left sideline was intercepted by Jamari Sharpe. That mistake ultimately sealed the Hurricanes' fate.
"For it to end like that is hard," Beck told reporters after Miami's 27-21 loss. "It's really tough, especially to battle the way that we did in the second half. To have a chance to win at the end, it says a lot about us. But to lose it — it really hurts."
Before the Hurricanes fell short to the Hoosiers in heartbreaking fashion, ESPN's cameras showed adult film star and Miami superfan Abella Danger in the crowd. It didn't take long for that brief shot to become a meme on social media.
Abella breaks her silence.
TMZ Sports spoke to the polarizing Miami fan about her brief air time on ESPN. She apologized to anyone offended by her presence.
"I would give anything in the world to not have had ESPN film me, and I am so deeply sorry to anyone I offended with my attendance at the game," Danger said, via TMZ. "I wish I could be any other student supporting my team."

There's no question Danger is heartbroken over Miami losing the national title game. She posted a video of her crying after Monday's game went final.
"I hate this," Danger shouted as she was leaving the stadium.
We'll see if the Hurricanes get back to the CFP in 2026. If so, we might see Danger back in the spotlight.
