There's a definite way to behave within American work place environments- and having been around the world, I can say journalism is one industry that diverges widely in several aspects (including content, bias, professionalism, etc).
I'm not saying catcalls are acceptable in a work place, but there's a gray area when it comes to this particular journalist. I don't know of any serious female reporter who measures body parts with a tape, who wears midriffs during an interview or happily lets a player lift her up. I think Sainz was treated differently than an Erin Andrews or Michelle Beadle for a reason.

Yeah fair enough. This kind of stuff is commonplace on TV Azteca, but not in the US. What's she broadcasting is for TV Azteca, but she's getting her material in a totally different environemnt. So I guess there's fine line between what the league and the major networks deem acceptable and the minimum that TV Azteca is asking as far as her outfits/etc. But was she measuring biceps and wearing a bare midriff in the Jets locker room?
