Girls in the locker room

Once upon a time, I was a young newlywed married to an NFL player. Because of that, this story about the reporter being pestered in the New York Jets locker room, speaks volumes to me. Women should not be allowed in the mens' locker room of ANY male sport.

Let's look at it from many different perspectives. One, I did not like the fact that women were seeing my husband completely naked. My husband has told me many times, that he would be completely undressed, changing into or out of his uniform, when a female reporter would walk right up next to him to interview someone. Hello?! That's not cool. Can we say awkward? Unless your spouse is a stripper, I don't think it's appropriate for others to see them naked at work.

If men reporters can't go into the women's US Open Tennis locker room and interview them gals, then why are the women allowed in male sports? Would anyone think it was appropriate for Serena Williams to be completely naked, changing out of her tennis skirt, answering questions from a male reporter? No! It's ludicrous!

Of course this cute little reporter is going to be pestered in the locker room. What do you expect? You cram 40 half-naked or totally naked men in one room, then throw in a really cute blonde? That's not fair to her. Unless we can re-configure the male species, she is bait in a shark tank.

I'm not condoning or approving of their behavior, I'm just saying it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it's a bad combination. It's also not necessary. There are enough male reporters to go into the locker room or here's a bright idea, maybe she could interview the players (in this case, Mark Sanchez) outside of the locker room...when he's fully dressed.
