Sports talk, not to be taken seriously...

Although, this is my opinion on the matter, and how I feel personally about what happened, I also am not a sports person, so therefore what I'm about to say might just not have anything to do with anything, so take it at face value...

Most of ya'll know about the "sexy" reporter Ines Sainz who is claiming she was sexually harassed at a Jet's practice when she went into their locker room.

The LT listens to ESPN radio in the car, and he was listening to someone who was ranting about how it was unfair that she was in the male locker room to begin with, and so the LT was explaining the rules to me, and how it was a huge double standard, and how woman fought for their rights to go into male locker rooms, but males aren't allowed in female locker rooms. Which doesn't seem fair to me, I'm all about woman's rights, but I'm also all about equal rights. And when it comes to locker rooms, a man shouldn't be in a woman's and a woman shouldn't be in a man's. I mean, they're half naked in there, and of course there are going to be to some "cat calling" if you go into the opposite sex's locker room. It's a given, so getting your panties in a wad over it is just stupid.

But saying this person was asking for it was wrong to me also. I don't think she knew that it would happen, but maybe she did. I don't know what she was wearing, the LT showed me something, but in the last article I linked to they said she was wearing glued on pants and shirts, and the picture the LT showed me was a black dress w/ tights, it wasn't anything that was too provocative. But here is a twitpic she posted of a similar outfit she has worn, and of course it's a butt shot, so it doesn't really show much, but the pants definitely are glued on....(and the caption is in Spanish because she's from Mexico...) And according to some people, it's okay for her to dress this way because that's the culture in Mexico, but yet if we, as Americans, go to another country we're expected to wear and fit in to their culture, but not here, not in America. it's retarded....Again with the damn double standards...

So I think the moral of this story is that if you don't want to get "cat called" don't dress sexy, and don't go into a male locker room dressed that way, or a football practice for that matter...and I'm not saying she was "asking for it" but I mean, she wasn't trying to avoid it either...

Again, I'm not a sports expert, and I'm in no way trying to become one, just wanted to throw that out there...strictly my opinion!

I totally think she should have been smart enough NOT to go in... Um, hello... it is a all male locker room after all! All I can do is laugh... silly women.

Part of this comes from the fact that. like my grandfather, I loath women sports anchors. Half of them sound like men, which creeps me out... and the others, well, it's just weird. My grandpa actually mutes the TV when a female sports anchor is on! I love it!

What gets me is the fact that women sports anchors have fought for the right to go into a men's locker room, and then get mad when guys do shit like that...it's like, get over it...and another thing that gets me is that if a guy were to try and fight to get into a women's locker room he'd get denied in a heart beat...

and I think I love your grandpa now...HA!
