Why are reporters (male or female) allowed in dressing rooms at all?

My question, too. Were I a football player I'd demand my privacy.

"Women are a common part of the sports media," the memo said, and included the policy. "By law, women must be granted the same rights to perform their jobs as men. Please remember that women reporters are professionals and should be treated as such. "

Sure they are. Just try and get a male reporter into a WNBA team dressing room and see how equal the law is......................not.

Most NHL teams have specified areas's outside the dressing rooms that the reporters can go and interview the atheletes, so perhaps it's time for the clowns in the NFL to do the same.

Or better yet, eveyone who goes into the dressing room has to be naked, then my guess would be that female reporters would shrink from wandering around male dressing rooms.

If Ms. Sainz were to go along with that I'd be perfectly alright with it. Provided, of course, that the cameraman knows his job...

Good point. Not sure if this has ever been an issue, though I doubt many male reporters would complain about what they've seen or heard in a women's dressing room.

Actually, I'm surprised that the NFL doesn't. It makes more sense to have a designated interviewing area where the privacy issue would never be an issue to begin with. Probably easier for both the reporter and the athlete too, no distractions.


I had to chuckle when I read this article this morning and posted it. It seems to me that it's happened before that a female reporter has made noise about being made to feel "uncomfortable" while in a pro-sports dressing room. Honey, if you can't handle what you might see or hear while in there then don't go in. That many men in one room with an attractive woman walking in... there's bound to be one smartass in the bunch who'll say something... at least have some snappy comebacks in mind to respond with!

Same. The players should stand up and kick ALL reporters out.

So guys, in order to be fair, you must have a hard-on when you talk to the male reporters too.

Don't forget she's titled as the Hottest Sports Broadcaster in Mexico. For good reason. Whats even more interesting is it was other reporters who told her they were embarrased about what went on she really had no clue till told by others. Or so she says in an interview I heard earlier this week.

[rockindel1]

if she wants to be treated like a "professional" reporter, maybe she should dress like one , not someone going out to the bar to go out whoring!

yrs ago, 70's I think there was a huge steroid issue so one of the things they did was open the locker room to reporters. In the 80's we started having more female sports reporters and they demanded the same access as male reporters thus the situation now of female reporters in the locker room. My understanding is that no reporters are allowed into the changing room area of the locker rooms but I'm not positive on that.

Rightfully so. I wouldn't want a stranger in my locker room if I was changing or taking a shower..
Male OR female...

I understand women-reporters want the same access as men do. They should. It's just a job they're doing. There shouldn't be a fuss about that. The fuss should be about "reporters in locker rooms", not necessarily "opposite gender reporters in locker rooms".
I mean, I don't care if my gyneacologist is male or female, as long as s/he is doing their job right...

I agree I dont see why they can't have a press conference room set up like the NBA does. After the game the men go to the locker rooms shower change then go to the conference room for interviews. Simple and effective. Everyone gets what they want privacy and near instant access for reporters. If players do not go to the interview area they get heavily fined. Thus no one skips out.

Now stick a smokeing hot female with tight clothes on in a room with a bunch of testosterone men gearing up to do physical pounding on one another. Cat Calls happened and riske remarks made. Is anyone supprised. No one touched her that i've heard of. Yet if it comes out that someone purposely burshed up against her I would not be shocked to hear it.
