Yes.
Happens all the time.
And I see your point there.
The thing with Emmitt though is the reaction to Emmitt's whistle was fostered by an environment that felt that he was not even human and thus they had the manifest right to take his life to keep him the rest of the population in place. Which is why the outcry was so that it helped kick-start the Civil Rights movement. Regardless of who he was bad kid or good.
This woman, on the other hand, was trying to get a reaction. Was it proactive on her part? Maybe, maybe not. I lean more toward the station/culture she works for that has a history of going extreme to get a reaction. I'm sure if she worked for ESPN, ABC or any other other networks this would not even been an issue.
Because there are plenty of journalist that don't dress like Sister Savedalot, and receive a lot of respect from players and coaches as well. I pointed out to Erin Andrews, who actually took flack from one of her peers for being spied on.
