Re: Jets being investigated for harassment of female Mexican reporter

She's just doing her job and I think she wasn't too bothered with what happened. But there may be some journalist who wanted to be her knight in shining armor who made a big deal of the thing. (Or maybe it was a jealous female journalist.)

My wife is Mexican, so we see a lot of Spanish-language channels. They expect their women not to be afraid to be sexy and friendly flirting is promoted on a lot of shows. They wouldn't dream, for instance, of fining a player for handing a ball to a cheerleader, or of showing players' butts instead of cheerleaders' butts during a time out. (Obscenities, however, are out of line.)

You may want to check out Republica Deportiva for the flavor of a sports show from south of the border.

Voted fifth-sexiest sportscaster worldwide by FHM online The Five Sexiest Sports Reporters in the World | FHMonline.com.

In fact the following comments, which appear at
Ines Sainz (PICTURES): Mexican Reporter was "Dying of Discomfort" in Jets Locker Room - Crimesider - CBS News
lend more clarity to the situation.

"I'm dying of discomfort!" ... "I am in the Jets Locker room waiting for Mark Sanchez, while trying not to look to anywhere!"
(The latter part of this statement is somehow is missing in most reports.)

"It was definitely a joking tone, very amicable," Sainz said in an interview with a colleague. "I wasn't offended."

She told TV Azteca that though she was embarrassed, she didn't take it to heart and didn't realize it was going to become such a big deal, according to CNN.

The following was a comment made on the same page:
The "reporter" that was harassed in the locker room invited cat calls and everything else that happened with her choice of clothing and providing ready access to the assets they were addressing. Her choice of clothing for the locker room and your show were offensive to me (former female journalist on local level)! I would never have worn such an outfit to ANY interview, but especially a sporting event. Her clothes were too tight and her bosoms were practically pushed in the faces, even this morning on your show.

Maybe some of the people (reporters) from here should realize that not all people are from countries founded by Puritans, and that they should be allowed to decide for themselves if they are offended or not.
