This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
man, she is insanely hot. but I never agreed with allowing female reporters in the locker room. do they allow male reporters in the WNBA or women's soccer locker room? hell no, no one would stand for it and for good reason.
this same thing happened to the Pats about 20 years ago if I recall correctly.

This is a stupid comment Thunder. If you followed this story or even looked into it at all, you'd know that she has no intention of suing anyone or pressing charges or anything like that.
In fact, she wasn't even the one who brought this incident to light. Others who had observed the disgusting, grimey behavior of the Jets players and the indifference of the coaches (some of whom actually encouraged this behavior) spoke out about this situation. The girl was interviewed and basically said at no time did she feel her safety was an issue or felt like she was going to be assaulted. She DID say that they were inappropriate with what they were shouting out loud and mumbling as she walked by, so much so that she just kept her head down and made a B-line for Sanchez's locker, which is where she was originally headed.
She said it made her feel uncomfortable. She said that if after the investigation into this shows that they went too far they should be reprimanded, but if the NFL finds that everything that went on, both the stuff she was aware of and the stuff she wasn't was not too over the top, then she said she doesn't think they should be punished.
As for the issue in general, even if you don't think women reporters should be allowed in locker rooms, that is no excuse for sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior. And about her outfit, she was wearing tight jeans and some white blouse that kind of showed a bit of cleveage. Maybe she shouldn't have dressed that provocatively, but again, that is NO EXCUSE for the stinkin jets to verbally assault her.
This is like the "she was askin for it" rape argument. It's ridiculous. No matter what a woman wears, there is never any time that all the rules of conduct go out the window. The coaches were reportedly having all the passes thrown in her direction on the field so they could stare at her and the receivers who were catching them were making comments while others were cat-calling. But it was in the locker room that supposedly guys were saying inappropriate stuff and being really disrespectful.
Granted, if you're gorgeous like this girl is, and you're dressed sexy and provocative, you can't complain if guys are staring at you. They're only human. But there's a big difference between checking out a hot girl and making sexually explicit comments at and about her and making a woman feel uncomfortable. I attribute this to rex ryans lawless, classless environment he installed in NY where there's no discipline because the coach acts like a stupid player himself. I seriously doubt this would have happened in the Miami Dolphins locker room.
A "beauty queen contestant" employed as a sports writer who wears provocative clothing along with sexy make-up and fragrance, invited into a place where testosterone is running high; what do you expect, suave, sophisticated behavior? This situation is ripe for uncouth group jr high (middle school) antics. Heck, good looking woman in business attire walking to their jobs in urban areas receive hoots and hollers, catcalls etc from construction workers every day of the week. It's a macho mentality that becomes really robust in a group. These guys were set up. I don't condone their disrespectful behavior, it shouldn't happen but reality and the differences between the sexes causes it. That is why women can so easily manipulate men. FWIW.
" if you're gorgeous like this girl is, and you're dressed sexy and provocative, you can't complain if guys are staring at you"
This was the gist of my post; the devil is in the details.
If they stared, noticed her looks, went out of their way to say 'hi', told her she was attractive, threw the ball in her direction in order for an excuse to get a closer look, then I don't think it's a problem.
But if they said or did anything inappropriate, offensive, etc., then it's no different than harassment in any other type of workplace--unacceptable.
I wonder were the debate stands on having Henne or Sanchez on your team stands after last night? LoL, I love this stuff. Keep it coming Rex, I appreciate it!
I agree, Henne looked 100x better than Sanchez. In fact, except for the playoffs, he looked better than him (much) last season also. Everyone has gotten caught up in the fact that the Jets won 2 games in the playoffs, but forget how horrible they looked a lot of last season, and that they wouldn't have even been in the playoffs if not for the Colts essentially forfeiting.

How much stock can anyone put in those two playoff games? They beat 2 teams that traditionally fold in the post season. Had they faced Baltimore, NE, or Indy, they would have been dusted.
I am happily married however that woman has a body that can lead to countries fighting over her. I mean damn she is well you guys know. I'll put it this way if she is Eve in the garden of Eden. That apple is going to get eaten lol.

This is why they lost. They are a poorly coached team.
Do you think she wore those jeans thinking..."I hope no one notices me".
By the same token...if I were to behave like that in my business, I would be fired in a heartbeat. Another case of spoiled millionaire infants thinking they don't have to follow the rules the rest of us do.
and...me and the guys in my office would definitely be gawking at her and making sexist comments. We just wouldn't get caught.
