Is Sainze and Company Indicative of a Power Struggle?
What do the media want us to say: That we feel bad for Sainz. Sorry, no can do.
Plain and simple this is a stupid attempt by female reporters to make a power grab for attention. Ask yourselves why Diane Sawyer doesn’t get “objectified”. It certainly isn't because Diane Sawyer isn't attractive, she certainly is an attractive woman. Why is Diane Sawyer treated with respect? What’s the difference between the two female reporters? Frankly if you need me to explain it then you’re not very objective and have no business being a reporter.
JUST THE FACTS
Let's examine the facts: Sainz is an attractive young woman, she's standing around a bunch of testosterone hyped-up young male jocks after a game, prancing around in towels and jock straps; she’s doing it with a lot of cleavage showing, her blouse is twice as tight as it needs to be just so she can show off her breasts, she’s wearing a short skirt hiked up to look like a provocative piece of work in high heels and smiling the entire time they are throwing the football her way. Then she professes to not understand why anyone puts up with men acting like men. The Jets' players acted like men act; to castigate the Jets' players for acting like healthy young men is to deny nature. Did you all miss biology? Perhaps your mother’s kept you from 4th grade sex ed. This is not a work place setting where interviews should be taking place. Lawyers don't take depositions in a bathroom.
IS THERE EVEN AN IMPORTANT ISSUE WORTH DISCUSSING?
If I were a reporter would I be given access to the women’s locker room at the US Tennis Open? Would Steffi Graf or Serena Williams have whistled at the male reporters if they dressed as provocatively as this young woman did? And if Serena did would anyone care? No and why; because it's not important to the rest of the world trying to earn a living. This is just one more example of the media thinking the news is all about them and trying to inject themselves into the story.
WHAT WAS SO BAD ABOUT WHAT WENT ON?
What actually happened in the locker room? If I understand the fact from fiction several athletes after a game whistled at a female reporter who was standing in their locker room while they were showering and wanting to get dressed and get on with their lives. The reporter egged them on; she knows how to get their attention and did.
IS THIS JUST A POWER GRAB BY FEMALE REPORTERS?
How uninformed and naïve do you think the public is? Stop trying to make yourselves the news; she wanted all that attention and the hair spray media is giving her 1000 times more than she and this matter deserves.
She got her 15" of fame; let's move on to something that is actually news worthy and not a grown woman who is acting less than her age. I have to wonder if this immature and seemingly insecure female reporter isn't just trying to make a name for herself. If female reporters wants to be treated like professional journalists then they need to dress and act like professionals.
DO ETHICS EVEN EXTEND TO THE MEDIA FROM PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES?
And who says there are any ethical standards as to how athletes need to treat the media? Who elevated the media to royalty? You’re supposed to be professional journalists; act like one. Grow thicker skin and develop professional attitudes. And dress like professionals not journalists vying for TV stardom.
WHAT’S THE REAL PROBLEM?
The real problem is that reporters think the news is all about them. That’s why they dress like they do, have hairdressers, makeup people, wear lipstick, face paint, dye their hair, spray it down, spend thousands of dollars on wardrobes, ask for million dollar salaries, live lavish lifestyles, report from exotic locations and then try and tell wage earners how to eat on $10 a day. You’re not one of us so stop trying and for God’s sake stop making the news all about YOU.
The female reporters, who started this nonissue, need to get a grip along with a life that looks beyond their dressing room mirror. The news is not about you the reporter. As for the Jet players who acted like men, here is some advice: the next time she comes into the locker room either shun her or shove her in a locker and pound on the metal door.
And one more thing, I don't see a wedding ring on the left hand. Do you?
