I applaud the efforts of the owner in apologizing, however, isn't it a hazard of the job when it comes to males dominated sports. I mean if a woman is in the locker room for interviewing, there will be comments that will be made because you are in what is considered a "male domain." Unfortunately, it is common for events such as this to take place in locker rooms. However, it is the first time that a public comment has been made.
I can imagine the chaos that was taking place within the PR office and how they would handle the situation. Especially, when attitudes towards professional athletes have begun to take a turn into the negative. Organizations need to begin to take player conduct on and off the field more seriously before it causes them to spend unnecessary money in settling harassment lawsuits.

I am struggling with this post -- or rather with my responspe, which will be overwhelmingly unpopular. Every week, every sporting event, every field appearance by a woman reporter, leaves me with one reaction -- what the heck are you doing out there?? While realizing this is stereotypical, I don't find anything credible about a women asking questions to a NFL coach. Sorry -- woman in the locker room? Comes with the territory. Man up.
