Jets being investigated for harassment of female Mexican reporter

[mike340]

So is it possible that some in sports journalism don't want her to dress in the way she does? By forcing this issue to light, which doesn't seem to be her desire (see my post 95), she gets a lot of flak for the way she dresses.

I remember when I was going to school in Boston, there were girls who came to town dressing really sexy in the fall and then they suddenly stopped. I asked if it was because of abuse from the guys. They said no, it was abuse from catty females. (I went to a school with an 8:1 ratio, so there weren't many women to ask at my school.)

As far as the way she looks, she WAS voted 5th sexiest sports broadcaster (behind Erin Andrews?!) in the world by fhmonline. So she also needs to maintain her image (i.e. not be a frump.)

When will people learn that if the person supposedly offended isn't bothered then there is no story? (The "really uncomfortable" quote, which most people are using as an excuse to continue this, is debunked in post 95.)

Truthfully though, it's not a major issue (not like it used to be), though it still is to an extent. I suspect this story will fade away soon.
