My Mexican wife is used to a lot of attention from the guys, and the 'piropos' (friendly comments, including catcalls if not intimidating) are fine. This story is making this woman face more flak for the way she dresses than any good publicity she could get (which she doesn't need). She's basically being told that the way she dresses in other countries is not acceptable in the Puritanical US of A. She herself, in the video off of foxsports, says that she didn't have a problem with the catcalls, and basically says she's used to it. It was the OTHER reporters who made a big deal out of it. I think it's because the female reporters don't want one who is sexy in the lockerroom. They worry that it will "set back the women". As usual in a case like this, it is not the person who SHOULD be offended who is complaining. (Think about the number of people who say that the Redskins should change their name who are not of Indian descent.) I'd like to see the PCers take their attitude and shove it. (You may also note that the interviewer in the interview wants to try to make a point; to do so he tries to force her into closed-ended questions and doesn't let her finish what she's trying to say. In addition he pressures her greatly when she's trying to answer the question of why she felt uncomfortable. Is it possible the other reporters made her feel uncomfortable because she felt pressured to complain when she felt no need?)

There's an easy way to end this. Ask her if she's interested that this continue. If she says no, drop it. Of course this is inconvenient for the agenda of a lot of people.
