You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!™
New York Jets football players allegedly harassing a female tv reporter.
They’re not in hot water, and she’s as hot as she can be. She is smokin hot like the surface of the sun is hot. She’s hot like a summertime blacktop and barefeet is hot. She is a pin up girl working as a tv reporter. I’m guessing her looks helped her get that job. She dresses suggestively and she has sex appeal dripping from her beautiful skin.
Are we clear. She’s a good looking woman.
Now add young stud athletes to this equation. They are pampered, rich professional football players. They are full of testosterone and HGH. Introduce hot into this masculine mess and what you get is pretty obvious.
Bringing this woman into a domain of men is like mixing Nitro with Glycerin? Do you think that you can create volatile chemical reactions and nobody is going to notice? Maybe in outter space, but not in the locker room of an NFL franchise.
So here’s what reportedly happened. Ines Sainz is a Mexican TV Journalist was at Jets practice facility working on a story about QB, Mark Sanchez.
But her brick s*** house appearance on the side line was a major disruption. According to multiple sources, Jets coaches reportedly over threw footballs in her direction, allowing wide receivers to run patterns near her.
Non wide receivers reportedly asked to participate in drills so they too could run sideline patterns near the beauty queen. Some of the guys weren’t even on offense. Why are 350 pound offensive lineman running “out” patterns near the hot chick?
Imagine that? Guys acting a fool in front of a beautiful girl.
What has the world come to?
According to published reports, some of the young men even made cat calls in the locker room when she entered. Cat Calls! Imagine that. Meow?
Is it appropriate? No!
Is it a shock? Hardly.
But the question is, should she have to put up with it?
THE ANSWER IS NO.
SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE TREATED PROFESSIONALLY
The problem is, she’s a former beauty queen and her sexuality is busting out of her clothes like a freight train ripping out of a tunnel.
What’s right and what’s appropriate gets lost when hormones race from a man’s mind to parts south of the border.
These are highly conditioned young men, who are young and dumb and full of “crazy” shall we say.
If you think they aren’t going to notice this ray of sexual sunshine, then you are insane.
Maybe the Jets P.R. staff needs a little ass whoopin on this one. They are the conduit for the media and the players. They need to be able to step in and remind their employees that there is a degree of decorum expected, even if they are standing there with their manhood swinging in the wind.
I am all about this woman being treated with respect. But it’s easy to see how this happened.
It’s not like this is stoic Diane Sawyers standing in the hallowed hallway of the U.S. Capitol waiting to interview Speaker of the House Pelosi. This is a sweat stained locker room full of 1/2 naked millionaires use to seeing what they want and then going for it.
So the men acted like, well, they acted like men.
But with New York media working the story, men acting like men might as well be men acting like dogs with a few cat calls to boot.
This incident comes down to biological impulses versus societal expectations.
If the men smile or wink, is it noticed? Maybe. But they cat call and act like they are at a strip club, it’s over the top. It’s wrong. And in New York City, it’s going to generate BUZZ.
Woody Johnson is the Jets owner. He was understandably concerned and called the woman. Johnson told the media he offered an “open apology” to her. He also said he has interviewed “non-players” involved in the alleged taunting.
“I called her the minute I found out about it, and I finally spoke to her later on in the day,” Johnson said. “We take this very, very seriously, as you can imagine. We want all of our reporters, female or male, to be comfortable wherever they are, on the sideline, in the locker room or at a game. We have to make the working environment professional, representing the New York Jets well.”
To hyper intensify this biological equation of workplace harassment, the NFL is looking into the issue.
While the Jets were acting like young idiots, the young woman was keeping her cool.
On her own Twitter account, the young woman said she felt “very uncomfortable,”
“I die of embarrassment!” Sainz wrote in Spanish. “I am in the locker room of the Jets waiting for Mark Sanchez while trying not to look to anywhere!”
In a later Twitter post, she wrote, “Thanks all for your support and concern. I already testified before the NFL, and now is up to them to decide whether or not there will be consequences!”
So while boys will be boys, it shouldn’t come at the expense of a professional woman trying to do her job.
The fact that she is a beauty queen has no bearing on the issue.
She was made to feel uncomfortable. That is wrong, and after Mr. Johnson conducts his investigation, I think players and coaches involved should be reprimanded.
But a word of advice to Ms. Sainz. Mabe a pair of jeans that aren’t spray painted on to your ass would be a little more appropriate for the work place.
Would you dress like that if you were interviewing Nancy Pelosi?
And that is crazy!
