"Behave yourselves New York Jets and the entire NFL!!!!!!" by Ronald Carthen



I have to commend TV Azteca sports reporter Ines Sainz for how she has handled the situation with the New York Jets. This won't be the first or last time you will hear a story on athletes harassing female reporters, but athletes have to be clear that they have to stay professional when females come in their locker rooms while they are changing clothes.

Sainz is sexy as you can see, but that the things the Jets did was a bit inappropriate. For example, how can Rex Ryan and others throws footballs at her way during practice. That was way too childish and too immature for grown men to conduct themselves that way. I'm surprised she was strong enough to not go off on the organization at the time. She had to also put up with the verbal harassment from Jets players as she was conducting interviews with players. She wore a white dress blouse, nice tight jeans and high heels, but act like you have some sense when you see a woman. There's no excuse of talking about her and making jokes in the locker room. Please let her do her job and keep your comments to yourselves. What happen in the locker room was no different then what happens when men try to get some attention from a woman out in the street everyday. I also realize that these men have to be more responsible for their actions especially at a work environment.

She decided to not press any charges which is a bit surprising considering that many people witnessed it and told her the team's actions was considered sexual harassment. Many reporters would have found a way to sue an NFL franchise for all it's worth, but decided she didn't want to have the whole nation feeling sorry for her. I didn't hear anything about players touching her inappropriatley when she was in the locker room but as males we have to control ourselves.

I'm glad Clinton Portis apologize for his remarks towards her as well. He maybe right about when female reporters come in while men are changing things will happen but that doesn't give them the right to be idiots either. He had to say sorry for his sake of his career and won't lose any money over dumb comments like that.

Let's please be respectful for all women in the workplace especially that it is 2010 and women have more rights then ever before and getting great jobs. Be mindful of your actions when you see a woman passing you by because one or two things will happen. Either they'll be nice to you or they'll be uncomfortable talking to you. You don't want to be in a situation when a woman doesn't want to talk to you especially at work. The Jets won't lose their jobs but a message has been sent for the millionth time. Don't disrespectful while she is doing her job.
