WHAT DID YOU REALLY EXPECT...

WHAT DID YOU REALLY EXPECT...

There has been a lot of talk over the New York Jets and the "catcalls" (forgive me, but I do not even know what that means) of female reporter Ines Sainz. I have a different view of this situation, but before I give you that I need you to understand a few things. I am a born again christian who enjoys football as much as anyone you will meet. I also spend any extra time that I may have watching football. There are many things that I do not agree with. The Hard Knocks premise has always fascinated me, did not watch it, I did not approve of the language. Any Given Sunday was a movie that many people say gives a real look at what the life in pro football is like behind the scenes, I did not watch it, too much language. The ESPN show a few years back was taken off the air because many people believed it was to realistic and it hurt the leauges image, I did not watch this because I did not agree with the off the field stuff, I love the game of football. That being said, this is not about my personal views as a christian, this is about right and wrong in terms of men and women. This is about the hypocrisy that is the liberal feminist movement and the double standard that exists for women.

This is not a case of do women have the right to cover male sports. Of course, they do. This is a case of SHOULD WOMEN BE ALLOWED IN THE MEN'S LOCKER ROOM? Absolutely not. They have no business going inside of a clubhouse in any sport. That is a place where the players are at their worst and no woman should ever be allowed in a locker room.

Let me ask this question, what do you expect to happen in a pro sports locker room? There are people with money and a sense of invincibility about them who are coming off of an adrenaline rush that is the sport they play in. That's why people love locker room quotes after a bad game. The most popular person after a bad game is the person who plays the worst, because he will say something crazy. Now you take the fact that these guys in locker rooms have a party mentality, especially after a win, you are going to hear and see things that most people are not going to want to hear. Ms. Sainz went into the Jets PRIVATE lockeroom with the other reporters but she did not carry herself like other reporters (I will post a link to an interview she did which shows exactly how she was dressed).

I know, all of you feminists are ready to start screaming about equality in the workplace. She should be allowed to do anything a man can do, I agree completely, the problem with your liberal view is men are not allowed inside of a woman's locker room. We could never allow such a thing, because men are pigs. If they are such pigs, why would you allow women in an area where men are running around many times without any clothes on? The problem here is not what these men said (no, i do not think I agree with "catcalling" - whatever that is), but again, I ask what did you expect? There is a double standard and we are blaming these guys for what, acting the part of a jacked up jock who was in the security of his locker room?

The real question is this, where are all of the feminists who have fought for years for equality in the workplace? Why are you not outraged that Ms. Sainz has shown exactly why this should not be going on? Why are you not out there defending the players like you would if it were a LPGA golfer who was treated like this by a male reporter? Why are you saying she is just going to work to do here job? Why is it Michelle Tafoya, Suzy Kolber, even Erin Andrews have ever felt the need to go for an interview dresses this way? I am sorry, where do I get off with my sexist views and expecting some answers?

The truth of the matter is, Ms. Sainz is not the victim here, the players are. They can not control the fact that they are required to go to work. They can not control the fact that women are allowed in the locker room. They've been there before and they carry themselves professionally. They could not control the clothing of Ms. Sainz. She got up, knew she was going into a NFL locker room, and chose to dress in tight, form fitting, low cut clothes. She is the one who tweeted about being uncomfortable, and she is the one gaining popularity for it. If she was so uncomfortable, why did she not file a formal complaint, maybe they Jets organization was able to meet the asking price of Ms. Sainz.

I am begging anybody to try to defend Ms. Sainz. Please explain to me how I am wrong and how she is the true victim. Something tells me there will not be many responses, because there is nothing that can be said here but you are right, and people don't like saying that for some reason.

Here is the link where Ms. Sainz talks about the incindent and they will show you the choice of clothing for the Jets Locker Rooom.
