The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been forced to delete a recent hype video. The NFL franchise posted the footage to X on Monday, July 13. However, the clip featured viral footage from a grandfather being attacked by a Bison in Yellowstone Park.

Tampa Bay's video also came with the caption, "Flipping out because it's almost football season." Of course, that was deemed to be insulting to the family of the man.
During the footage, the bison attack footage cuts to receiver Tez Johnson's touchdown flip. Of course, many thought the editing of the video was insensitive. Especially as the grandfather in question is yet to be released from the hospital. The edit was far too soon following what was a brutal attack.
ESPN reporter Jenna Laine shared her disdain for the hype video on X. She pointed out that former Buccaneers social media expert Jill Beckman would never have signed off on the footage being used.
