While watching porn is hardly a huge taboo anymore, it’s still rather rare for famous faces to post links to videos on social media.

But that’s what a presenter on the ESPN sports channel appeared to do by mistake this week.

Gerry Hamilton, the channel’s national recruiting analyst, tweeted his usual American football updates on Monday. But instead of sharing a link to the ESPN website with his 15,000 followers, he appeared to accidentally post a link to a hardcore porn website.

The link lead users to a video on the explicit Pornhub website, featuring actress Krystal Bond, Digital Spy reported.

The tweet was quickly deleted, and Hamilton posted another message with an ESPN link about Outside Linebacker Roquan Smith.

But, as is the way with the internet, amused users had already screen-grabbed the original, and were speculating over what had caused the error.

Staff at Pornhub HQ also spotted the message, and tweeted from the official @Pornhub account “@HamiltonESPN I heard you like Pornhub. Want to switch jobs for a day?”
