I don't think it's necessarily the media's fault...at least not entirely. Look at sports audiences. These are, in part, made up of people whose lives hang on sports, who take them way too seriously (and I'm saying this as a hockey nut). These are the same people who will watch pre- and post-game shows that are longer than the ******* games themselves. Members of these audiences want to know what happened, how it happened, and why it happened right now.

Some guys catcalled in a locker room? WTF did you expect?


I read an article earlier today that said that male and female reporters are allowed in female locker rooms like the WNBA but they put restrictions on when and what part of the locker room reporters are allowed to enter. That would be a decent idea for the NFL.

Is that really the same girl? If so, age has been cruel.

At times Whitlock can stray off the farm, but overall I enjoy reading his point of view.

+1,000,000 on so many different levels.

I don't claim to have any brilliant solutions to successful integration of workplaces between men and women but I do know that 150 years or so of feminism is not going to be undoing the innumerable years of biological conditioning any time soon, no matter how civil or refined we think we may have become.

because they just finished sweating for a few hours and probably smell like ****? They are also getting ready to go home after a day's work and maybe they don't want the missus/girlfriend smelling their sweaty ass before they even walk through the door?

Doesn't matter.

No media should be allowed in locker rooms, period. The NFL is responsible for letting the media do interviews in there.

They should do it like they used to and how NBA (as well as other sports) does it, do it RIGHT on the field and AFTER the showers.

It's ridiculous to make players do interviews in locker rooms and even more for females to ask for "equality" when clearly, men would NEVER be allowed in women locker rooms.

I agree with you, and I'm aware that the NFL is also responsible. I should have clarified earlier that they are just as eager as the media outlets themselves to get interviews out so that fans stay tuned.

How about spend 30 minutes talking to reporters then head to the locker room?

Or, how about the media wait until they finish showering and dressing and then doing an interview? Point is, the beast (media, pop culture curiosity) must be fed. That's why Ines Sainz is in TV as opposed to tax law in Spain--there's a bigger market for it. She was cool with the catcalls (former beauty pageant contestant, so it ain't new), but felt somewhat off-put--not her first time in a locker room. The rest of the media went ape-****. Thank God for Braylon Edwards to distract from this mess.
