While I think that having reporters in the locker room at all is ridiculous, it is how reporting has been done since the beginning of the NFL, and the Supreme Court has already ruled on this one. These guys make a lot of money, and part of the job is appropriately dealing with the press. Unless they want to continue to see these kinds of stories, they need to learn to shut up while an attractive woman is near them. They can rehash it all when she walks out the room. Their rights to free speech end when they infringe on the working woman who just wants to get an interview.

Wait wait waaaaait. Why do the men have to learn to shut up?
Hmmm...I agree and disagree with the statement.
I think there still has to be some accountability on both sides. I mean, again, men should not make those kinds of comments but at the same time, knowing what kind of atmosphere that she is entering, a men's locker room, what she wears may deter them or goad them on.
And her just wanting to get an interview? HHHHHmmmmmm.
Now, I got a question, when can the playing field be evened and male reporters be allowed to interview, say...WNBA players in their locker rooms?
