Woman Unhappy With ESPN For Showing Her Eating An Ice Cream Cone, Which Led To Hawk Tuah Girl Comparisons
A couple of college baseball fans who attended the College World Series in Omaha earlier this week found their way onto the ESPN broadcast when they were spotted eating ice cream in the stands.
The few seconds of footage between pitches included some commentary about the heat and eating the ice cream before it melts. It seemed like an innocent enough clip, but when the internet got hold of it, they turned it into something completely different.
One of the women in the clip isn't happy with ESPN for providing the creeps on the internet with the fuel to turn their ice cream eating into "Hawk Tuah Girl" comparisons.
Here's the clip in question:
And here's Annie's response - the woman on the left in the clip - on TikTok where she's racked up millions of views with several videos of her ice cream eating session.
"It was a 20-second segment of just us eating ice cream or 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," Annie says.
"And low and behold, the creeps of TikTok got a hold of it because we woke up getting compared to the Hawk Tuah girl. Which no shade to her, girl do whatever."
Is ESPN To Blame For How People React To Fans Eating Ice Cream Cones In The Stands?
Annie then turns the reaction from those on the internet into commentary about why "women just can't exist in these spaces without something being commented on or drawn attention to."
She seems to place a lot of the blame on ESPN for showing them eating the ice cream in the first place. I don't know if they deserve the blame here.
It's unlikely that most of them have the warped minds of the degenerates on the internet. To them, it's a couple of fans cooling down with some ice cream, and it's something to talk about between pitches.
At the end of the day, if you're in the stands at a game, there's always a chance you end up on the broadcast. How people choose to respond to that is out of your control.
