Jets being investigated for harassment of female Mexican reporter

[sportscurmudgeon]

Two issues here:

1. Male reporters ARE allowed into WNBA locker rooms after games. The athletes know they are going to be there and they are dressed/showered/bathrobed accordingly. Anyone who says male reporters are banned or are restricted in any way simply has not ever done any locker room sports coverage.

By the way, a WNBA locker room is about as arousing as an issue of Maxim Magazine. And if that sends anyone into rapturous states, then that someone has serious problems.


2. What is fundamentally wrong with what CP said in his first statement is this:

The NFL - - his employer, the entity that puts the $$$ in his bank account - - has a LONGSTANDING policy that men and women reporters SHALL have equal access to the locker rooms of NFL teams.

If CP does not like the policy, he can make a case against the policy and perhaps start a discussion that might be interesting - - - even if it will change nothing. But he chose to go the route that NE Pats' players went with Lisa Olsen about 25 years ago saying she was "staring" and "shopping around" in the locker room. EVEN IF THAT WERE TRUE - - and I have no idea if it is now or was then - - that position is untenable in 2010.

Memo to CP:

That position undermines your employer, dummy.

Even your union - - which will stand up for dogfighters - - has decried that statement.

CP needs to let out the clutch and engage his brain for just a couple of milliseconds before he wags his tongue in the future.

It has been a while since I have used this sobriquet but at the moment it seems highly appropriate:

MEATHEAD!!
