Jets addressing alleged harassment of female reporter

And as far as I understand it... she has not made any complaints... it is the Jets that have started the investigation themselves based on reports from other media and people there and she basically does not care. If anything it is typical American political correctness going on to the extreme.

A fine looking lady at a football practice. Hmmm. As long as she didn't get groped, what's the problem with catcalls? A bit crude perhaps, but what was she expecting? She was evidently quick to accept an apology and it seems they will make no more issue of it. Surely we aren't so overly sensitive to claims of harrassment that catcalls are out of bounds?

I wasn't talking about cat calls.

Yeah, I've been reading a little more about it and it does sound like the ones who made a fuss were the other reporters there. She's a Latina, of course she doesn't care about cat calls. She expects them. It's part of our Hispanic culture. :lol: I'll be really bummed when I don't get cat calls anymore.

I'm outraged about this... um... this example of....

What was this thread about, again?

I'm more in agreement with Catz. I don't see why women need to go into men's locker rooms. I don't ever see any men reporting from female locker rooms. And I don't care how she's dressed, that's like saying that "she asked for it" and I don't need to tell you how wrong that sounds. I know she's doing this for the publicity, but still...

You didn't notice my qualifier right off the bat?

Yeah, in a PC environment it "sounds wrong", but she is a professional journalist supposedly.

She enters a high-octane male environment where pranks are a constant in the diet of players. She dressed like she's covering a story about Beata Uhse, not the NFL, and is surprised the boys would show some interest and have some fun? :roll:

I though Europeans were a little more liberal, less uptight with their views of fun between the sexes?

Guten abend meine Liebe, und bis später.

And you still dont get it.. she did not complain... the Jets started the investigation based on reports from other "American" reporters that felt it was over the top. She could care less. So take you anger and put it at the right people... the American media and the Jets themselves.

I don't think she minded all that much. She just used the whole silly thing as a publicity stunt.
 
I'd hit that.....

Excuse me, while I log off and call my lawyer.
 
I think the players were heard reciting this commercial:



.
 
An attractive woman in a room of 53 naked alpha males. I don't see how that couldn't end up a tad bit "offensive" in her obviously conservative eyes.
 
Daaaaaamn what an ass.

But seriously, wtf was she expecting. When this is your normal attire in a locker room full of 53 semi/completely naked guys in their 20's and 30's that just got done a testosterone filled adrenaline inducing game, how can you not be expecting comments to be made:

And I have nothing really against women reporting on male sports or interviewing, even "in the back". I do think outside of the locker room is generally smarter though. But with that said, there's an easy way to be a good professional female journalist and reporter. Here in DC we have a girl who is the primary interviewer for the pre and post game shows for the Redskins. Very attractive lady, yet she's never wearing extremely unprofessional clothes or things you're expecting that she's more likely to be heading out to a club then going to work:

Not the greatest pictures, but of course since she's not dressed like the one above naturally there's not as many internet pictures floating around ;)
 
The obvious solution to problems like this is to instead send in ESPN2 football analyst Pam Ward into the men's locker room.....

BTW Pam Ward is on the right, if you had trouble telling....I think.
 
This is a very funny thread.

Inez was interviewed this morning on Good Morning America and she said she wasn't the one making the complaint, it was another colleague. She also said she didn't have any problems with the football players and thought the whole incident was overblown.

During the interview she also said the football players would throw passes on the field in her direction so they could run over and catch the ball to be near her. She also said she overheard some of the comments they were making in the locker room, things like "I wish I was Mexican" and "she is hot". She said she wasn't offended by anything she overheard.

As far as the way she dresses, she makes no apologies. She said she is a woman and women like to dress to make themselves attractive. Oh yeahhhhhh, accentuate the positive. Personally, I didn't care for her makeup, it looked a little sloppy imo. Meow. lol

Frankly, I don't care how a woman dresses, no woman deserves "it" just because she doesn't dress like some think she should. Erin Brockovich?

LOL Ooops sorry. :3oops: But I think she's quite the little hottie....and I'm sure she is probably very good at her job. I think she said she's been doing it for 9 years or so....so she must doing something right. Right? RIGHT??? Yeah, I know, I know, you don't have to say.

I saw an interview recently with Meagan McCain on the John Daly Show and she was talking about during the campaign the campaign people sent her an "image consultant" because they thought she looked um how you say, like a stripper.... but nevermind that there was a "pregnant teen" on the bus. LOL

Speaking blondes, ever notice how many blondes are on FoxNews and how they always sit to show their legs?

YouTube - Fox News Babes

I bet you thought conservatives watched FoxNews for the information, huh? LOL

Having been a credentialed reporter I know there is a certain line you never cross no matter what or how important the story my seem, and also there are a few unwritten rules of decorum in any situation but I never agreed when it was decided to allow women in men's locker rooms and to my knowledge men are still not allowed in those of women, and I see this as a clear case of sexual discrimination case.

Of course it will never go to court because I don't think it would get anywhere. Can you see an interview of a female basketball player on the nightly news with nude women in the back ground.

No way!

This is a clear case of a woman wearing way too tight clothing and also wearing revealing blouses then wondering why the way she dressed got attention.

Well DOUBLE DUH!

ALL reporters should be barred from athlete locker rooms. After all, what is a locker room but a large bathroom. The notion of having interviews in bathrooms where people are taking showers and getting dressed is as unneccessary as it is absurd.

So it looks like we have a consensus on reporters in locker rooms. Maybe someone should tell the NFL.
