Myopic Media Misses The Salient Point of the Ines Sainz Controversy
1-liner, All, Media Gossip/Musings September 18th. 2010, 10:30am
Sexual Harassment: While the media spent the week crawling up its own ass in a myopic debate about their professional norms, the salient point was missed. “Sainz/Jets thing is NOT a locker room issue. It has devolved into that to excuse a bunch of entitled Neanderthals that apparently decided sexual harassment laws shouldn’t apply to them b/c a woman wore tight jeans. THAT’s what this should be about. Grow. Up. Despite what they think, some laws & rules in this society actually apply to pro athletes…If Ines Sainz showed up wearing that in a Packers locker room, I would be shocked if she got the same treatment. Some teams and players actually have class.” Bravo. [via @Greg_A_Bedard]

Haha I knew TBL didnt write this

Dumb. Really, what about the Packers suggests that they have such a higher propensity to have not done what the Jets did? This is the fucking dumbest thing ever. I agree that the players should have shown some self control; but, to assume another team would have showed more class? Please, spare me.

The Packers are a fine group of young gentlemen who would have asked Sainz if she needed a cool beverage and if there was any way to help her impoverished homeland…good post
The Pack is Back

Yeah, Clay Matthews would of asked if she wanted a ride on his Huffy in the parking lot

All this while looking at her exposed and ample cleavage and someone behind her is doing faux humping gestures.

Vlad already beat me to a Clay Matthews joke but he’d be my clubhouse leader for this spot

Once again, you can’t see the issue from your high horse. A hoochie coochie girl bikini calendar girl who is stunt cast as a sex bomb reporter (think Olivia Munn at Comic Con, only make her mexican, make the nerds athletes) is then granted access to the room in which they change clothes.
This is different from media day. At some point, she is responsible for professional comportment, and taking her hoochie coochie style/outfit into a men’s changing room does not fit that description.
If you don’t think a bunch of Green Bay Packers aren’t going to walk by her naked to see if she reacts, then you have probably never, ever been in a locker room.
September 18th, 2010 at 12:06 PM
so I guess everything but the title is yours, but you’re still wrong.
The salient point is that the NFL should be much more careful as to who they credential, and have separate credentiasl issued for locker room access.

I see women wearing tight jeans every day. I manage not to act like a jackass. Sexual harassment is a crime. Doesn’t matter how she is dressed.

do you see them in the room where you change clothes after a hard day of work, where you have to strip down to nothing?
September 18th, 2010 at 12:22 PM
oh, and i’m not sticking up for the fucking Jets. They acted like assholes. I’m saying that the NFL rule of access to everybody needs tweaking, and that whoever coordinates press for the Jets should have asked this lady to get her stupid interview with Sanchez outside of the locker room.
Yeah, the Jets acted like assholes, but you can’t say they sexually harassed her because they walked by her naked, giggling. Giggling isnt’ sexual harassment, and they’re allowed to be naked there.
September 18th, 2010 at 12:22 PM
Um, that is a mega-simplification of the issue…and unless it involves physical contact, there are very few instances where it would be considered criminal.
September 18th, 2010 at 12:24 PM
And in the case of what happened in the Jets’ locker room, NOTHING they did was criminal unless they touched her.
I am NOT defending the Jets, but quit referring to anything they did as criminal.

I was coming back to say this, or something far less eloquent than this, but I was to mean this.

I’m adamant about women’s rights and equality. The excuse “she was asking for it” is a horrible one that is quite laughable. HOWEVER!, if you make your career out of being really hot, you pose in barely any clothes for magazines, then you should realistically expect people to comment on your hotness when they see you. THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE FAMOUS FOR! If you would like to be famous for your intellect, feel free to not pose ion bikinis.
