Female Reporter Claims "Sexual Harassment" in the JETS Locker Room, What Do You Think?

Question

A 32 year old reporter who likes to wear low-cut shirts and tight jeans is claiming she was sexually harassed by members of the New York Jets when doing an interview in their locker room.

She said she was the subject of whistling, cat calls, and comments like "you want to take a shower together".


People are debating as to what it means to legally be "sexually harassed" and if "typical guy behavior" or harmless comments counts or not.


USA Today sportswriter Christine Brennan told ABC News.

"She's a credentialed reporter -- the New York Jets and the NFL credentialed this reporter -- she should expect only the most professional, courteous behavior that you would find in the workplace. And that field and that locker room is a workplace,"



Jets owner Johnson said that NFL officials were conducting interviews of those present Saturday and that players would be contacted today.

"We take this very, very seriously, as you can imagine, he told ESPNNew York.com. "We want all of our reporters, female or male, to be comfortable wherever they are, on the sideline, in the locker room or at a game."

Answer 1

I wonder if "GTFO I'm naked" accompanied with projectile shampoo bottles & conditioners etc would constitute sexual harassment.



Because that is exactly what would happen in a woman's locker room when a male reporter enters. Male behavior must be dictated while female behavior in the same scenario is absolved of any accountability all the while branding the male reporter as a sex offender.



Women stay the "F" out of men's locker rooms. You do not belong there.

Answer 2

Women have access to men's locker room's in sports today. It is the men that do not have the equal privilege. there are currently 5 female reporters that cover the Jets/Giants and all have access to their locker rooms.



The difference is I am sure the other women dress professionally according to their job. It is not up to the Jets to adapt to this reporter, she is on their turf. Funny how all the other female reporters have said they have never received this kind of behavior.

While I do not condone any type of harrasment, if she is going to state this is a workplace why doesn't she mention her unprofessional dress attire. I dont see the other female reporters showing up looking like that. What about her professionalism?

Answer 3

Well, I did come across an opinion article on CNN. Apparently, there is a 1977 court ruling allowing female reporters equal access to locker rooms. If this is the case, then men's locker rooms need to have an open access area and then a "personal hygiene" area. Maybe some curtains could be put up near the entry where female reporters can stand. Then, an announcement can be made over the intercom or such that so-and-so from the XYZ magazine is in the interview area and team members are encourage to go for an interview.

Answer 4

"Hey baby, you're hot"



Five minutes later



"My fellow Americans, earlier today a tragic, very distressing even occurred. I shall not repeat the heinous actions undertaken by the perpetrators other than to say that they made certain comments of a harassing nature to a woman that was invading their privacy, but know that the situation is being taken very, very seriously."





EDIT: I watched the video on the article, and there are so many things I could criticise that I can't fit them all here, so one word will just have to suffice: pathetic. They don't even address the main issue - it's a MALE locker room. Men aren't allowed in the female locker room! Equality, wherefore art thou?

Answer 5

Like I said in a similar question earlier today, that woman knows what she's doing (google her name). I also mentioned that even I was hypnotized by her behind (completely straight female). The type of harassment she is complaining of could easily be avoided if she was dressed professionally. But that's not what it's about, is it ;)?



Locker rooms should be off limits to media.

Answer 6

BWAHAHAHAHA! I didn´t know this one! Hahaha! Sexual harassment? HAHAHAHAHA!!!



The part that I have trouble coping with is the fact that some schmuck calls the locker room a workplace. So what will happen when that stupid b**** decides to follow me into the showers? Will I be arrested for indecent exposure in front of that poor, poor victim (God bless her)?????



Stupidity is reaching unprecedented levels in American society, all thanks to feminist "thinking".

Answer 7

Perhaps the male reporters should go into the girls' locker room and see what they say then. Women going into men's locker rooms is wrong to begin with and there's no reason she can't interview before they go in or as they come out, according to sensibility.

Answer 8

She's an idiot. I don't know how it is in Mexico, but in the U.S., women aren't supposed to be in mens locker rooms, and vice versa. Plus, she should've worn a pant suit or dress slacks. If you want to be treated professionally, dress professionally.

Answer 9

She was probably giving an interview with one of the players and followed him int to the change rooms and was met with sexual harassment. Also I just read the article, I noticed you left important part out like, "I wouldn't have reported it," or, "that other colleagues complained without her immediate knowledge," or "I'm not the one who [made] the charge."

It is sad that some one can not just do there job and not get harassed.

Answer 10

Thats why women arent allowed in men's locker rooms

Answer 11

The feminist emasculation attempt process continues!

Answer 12

What was she doing in the locker room, is the first thing that comes to mind.

Answer 13

How could she have been abused. Wasn't she wearing her love me for my mind jeans?

Answer 14

Can't stand the heat, stay out of the boiler room.

Answer 15

Since when does complimenting a woman's looks constitute "abuse". What a topsy turvy world feminists have made!
