Jets being investigated for harassment of female Mexican reporter

100% attention whore. but damn her ass is ridiculous.

Isn't the right to privacy part of the constitution?

No reporters of either sex should be allowed in the locker room until all players are dressed.

Simple.

Simple.

Teams have 10 -15 minutes before reporters are allowed in. Not every player gets dressed right away, reporters have deadlines to meet, and you (the universal you) want constant news and info...so it's not that simple

I like CP. I thought it was kinda cool when he dressed up and stuff. But jeesh STFU man, just go play.

This is a MEN'S LOCKER ROOM.
Now we expect "professionalism" in locker rooms of all places?
Is there no sanctuary, no last bastion of raw, unadulterated tribal machismo, no place where testosterone can flow freely?
(Besides Childress's chin?)

When men can't act like, well, men, among fellow teammates in the privacy and sanctity of their own locker room, what's next?

I can't burp and fart and swear and make fun of people's mothers in the comfort and privacy of my own home?

She was in THEIR domain--what did she expect? 53 Knights in Shining Armor to strew a path of rose petals in front of her, serenade her with Jewel songs, and chit chat with her about doilies and the latest episode of Oprah? Get real.

Women want to be treated equally--equal access and all that--then quit yer bitchin' when you actually get it.

I think in a way she's being used as a "martyr" This is getting out of the message of ensuring there is fair treatment of all reporters, regardless of gender. Truthfully though, it's not a major issue (not like it used to be), though it still is to an extent. I suspect this story will fade away soon.

SS One thing that makes this story unique in comparison to so many others is, it involved an episode having to do with what was perceived to be disrespect for a female member of the media. It's only natural that her fellow comrades come to her defense.

While I agree this story will soon become a non-issue, in the meantime there's still that lingering question in the minds of many people as to: Why it's so important to the NFL [or any party for that matter] to make it mandate women be allowed access to the locker-rooms of players when foresight should remind them of the potential problems it could pose? I have a hard time trying to distinguish reward vs. risk even though I'm mindful of the fact it's their job.

I'm trying to understand why male reporters wouldn't be the more appropiate way to get the message out. Members of the media [especially female] must recognize the inherent dangers of just being there, despite the fact we may want to think players are going to conduct themselves in a professional manner. This episode serves to demonstrate that's not always the case, making it unwise to asume.

Common sense begs me to understand how/why female reporters being allowed unfettered access to male locker rooms would not somehow create an uncomfortable atmosphere for both parties. Thus, the unanswered question....Why do it when you have a more viable alternative which in all probability would have reduced the risk of what we just witnessed happening.

Thoughts!

Teams have 10 -15 minutes before reporters are allowed in. Not every player gets dressed right away, reporters have deadlines to meet, and you (the universal you) want constant news and info...so it's not that simple

If all reporters had to wait 30min then wouldn't everyone just change their deadlines that amount of time? Not sure whay its such a big deal to get interviews so quick. After a win I really don't care what they have to say and after a loss who really wants to hear the winning team gloat.

Male reporters are allowed in female locker rooms for discreet time windows. Vice versa for women in men's locker rooms. This must be done for the sake of fairness. Otherwise discrimination is created in terms of employment for reporters. Put differently, since men's sports are the big money/big awareness sports, to bar women from locker rooms bars them from rising in their chosen professions. And that's not fair.

All the guys in the locker room (which is not just a locker room, but a professional work place) know when they might have visitors. It's not like female reporters just show up by surprise.

Well said. :goodjob:

You can't sit around and delay the time newspapers have to go to press or the news starts. It doesn't work that way.
