The NFL could stop all this by having both men & women reporters go to a room off from the locker room to interview the players. the women teams do this??????

The fact is, there is no compelling reason for reporters to be in a locker room at all, and the sooner they get them out of there, the sooner these kind of incidents stop happening.

@obsessed AbeFreshly …
Your original comment
She wanted to interview one of the most eligible bachelors in NY (Sanchez), in an environment where Sanchez would likely be naked. hmmmm Show up to interview a naked man dressed like this, & see what happens:
You can’t just strut around in a lockerroom filled with naked men with that ass. GEEEEEEEEZ
My original response
Jackass … she wasn’t strutting, she was sitting there waiting for Sanchez. And SHE didn’t file the complaint. A woman that doesn’t look anything like her filed the complaint. She didn’t ask for ANY of this, so cut her a break.
******
For some reason that small defense of Inez has prompted you to post paragraph after paragraph of speculative, rambling nonsense about me. She seems like a nice woman who was dragged into this by other people. Her wardrobe is indicative of her culture. I think we’d get along great.
No, I don’t look like her. I’m not Mexican, have fair skin, a touch of auburn in my dark hair, and dress less provocatively.

I would harass her too if she was in my locker room and I was standing around naked.

Then you are as much of an idiot as those Jets players.
Remember, this is their job. Harrassment in a workplace is usually not tolerated, dumbass.

Men can’t go in a women’s locker room, or else it’s sexual harrassment.
Women can’t stay outside a men’s locker room, or else it’s a women’s rights issue.

Sounds to me like nobody really has a problem with players or anyone else saying to keep the women out of the locker room. The only ppl making a big deal out of it are the stupid lawyers and PR monkeys.
why is it that nobody can say what is on their mind anymore?
If it would be “unfair” (poor baby) to keep just the women out…keep everyone out. Reporters don’t need to be in the locker room anyway…there really is no purpose.
btw…did anyone hear the audio from Ines…”I twitted on my tweeter” great audio…the best thing the media has brought us in awhile…

Do a Google search on images of this women and you’ll see why she probably got some comments or the reaction she did. Not that it’s right what the players did, but let’s just say she dress somewhat “provocative” (some would call it sleazy) on the sidelines. I can certainly see where players would misinterpret that as ‘asking for it’ or ‘acceptance’. Let me just say I’ve never seen any other female sideline reporter dressing like she does. Not even Erin Andrews.

The lawyers in the crowd realize that, in situations like this, prudence requires a thorough investigation and a demonstrated commitment to avoid similar situations in the future.
If one wants to avoid similar situations in the future, quit letting women into the men’s locker room when the team is showering.
It really is that simple.

I think most of the players are right, perhaps the women reporters in the locker rooms are professional but you can’t say they have no interest in being around some of the most athletic men in the world. Especially if their all naked. Its just in the job description of an NFL player. Men and women must be allowed see you naked after every game to ask questions. They get payed for it tho’.

One elderly fan at the Jets practice was overheard grumbling that he “couldn’t see what all the fuss was about.”. But it turns out he was blind.

@ Deb
“I was DEFENDING Inez. That means I can empathize with her.”
lol
Yeah, right. Dream on sista.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Ms Sainz is…um…”put together” in a way which would distinguish her from any other woman. 20-something yr old male pro athletes would notice this immediately. You, on the other hand, merely suspect it. Your insinutaion that you somehow resemble her is proof that your…um…’taste’ in this particular area suffers from a severe, self-prejudicial blindspot.
This…um…”unique” characteristic is what causes the players to react to her, & when you are standing naked, & Ines is standing there ‘trying not to look at you’ (she always peeks) it is virtually impossible to NOT react to her as she ‘doesn’t’ notice that anyone is naked.
The players’ WAGs know EXACTLY what Ines is up to when she puts on her “Magic Jeans”. Do you know why? Because EVERY WAG has at least one pair of “Magic Jeans” in her arsenal. They are quite an effective weapon for attracting young, wealthy athletes.
If you can truly ‘empathize’ with her, you would know this. Most women can spot this transparent approach from 300 m away.

You guys have it all wrong, this was all planned. The Jets were already realizing that they weren’t going to be able to live up to the hype generated by “Hard Knocks”. This was obvious from their on field (not on camera) performance last night.
Now addicted to the undeserved attention, what were they to do? They start taping the sequel “Hard Cocks”. It’s a lot easier to tape it with her in the lockerroom than an overweight male reporter.

You’re not too bright, are you?
I was DEFENDING Inez. That means I can empathize with her.
You can try rolling that around in your empty head, but I doubt you’ll ever get it.

There should be no reason for a woman to bne in a mans locker room.. nor a man in a womans locker room… Doesnt matter what reason anyone can come up with. it is just stupid

Roger Goodell wants to hear both sides of the issue before he takes any action.
He had a 20 minute phone call with the Jets front office earlier today and is scheduled to meet Ms Sainz later this week at his office. From noon Friday through to noon the following Monday.

Isn’t there bigger things to worry about than this?
But my opinion, maybe she should dress professionally. Seems to me when females dress like that, they are looking for attention. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s the kind of attention they do not want. But it’s the price to pay, when you dress for the Club, and not as a Reporter.
I do not feel sorry for her in the least. Here we have another case of Erin Andrews. We will soon see her on Dancing With The Stars and maybe Playboy. Basically she just hit the lottery!

The solution is pretty obvious – no media/reporters in the locker room period. The Stadiums all have meeting rooms where interviews should be held.

Well, if a muslim player protested about a female reporter in the locker room, there would be a multitude of idiots tripping over themselves to be the first to call for the banning of female reporters so as not to upset the “sensibilities” of said muslims….

It’s really simple. A locker room is a place for people to shower and change their clothes. There is really no need for the press to be there, any more than there is a need for them to interview players in a bathroom stall.
If women are allowed to enter a place where players are showering and changing their clothes, over time there will inevitalbly be problems.
Set up an interview room in every team facility and call it a day…..just like they do at women’s tennis matches, soccer games, golf tournements, etc.
How hard is it?

Look, if you do some basic image searches for Ines Sainz, you’ll quickly discover that she isn’t exactly the most professional when she’s doing media coverage. You’ll find plenty of tight shirts and pants that NO ONE from a regular news source would allow their female reporters to wear.
Now I don’t know what she was wearing, but she hasn’t sparked a lot of confidence in me that she owns business attire.
This doesn’t excuse what the Jets did, but seriously, if she walked in not looking professional, how can she be taken as a professional? Works both ways.

The major issue here is that the Joe on the street knows what football players are about, but he has kids that need better role models…
and from Joe’s vantage point, the NFL is ridiculously soft on abomidable behaviour: 4 games /30 days for serial molestation /rape?
________________
Maybe, if Joe happens to be an idiot who doesn’t understand that there was no evidence that the “serial molestation / rape” happened. If he were a human being of average intelligence, then he would be disturbed that a guy was lynched by the media.
