New York Jets Reporter Says What Really Happened In Locker Room (VIDEO)

Ines Sainz, a reporter for Mexico's TV Azteca, sat down on the Early Show on CBS to discuss the alleged harassment that took place in the New York Jets locker room on Saturday. She emphasized that she did not make the harassment charge and it was the rest of the media reported the incident.

Sainz said she started to hear people make jokes about her the minute she walked into the locker room. She decided not to pay attention to what people were saying and move on with her interview with quarterback Mark Sanchez.

She explained that there have been similar reactions when she has entered a lock room before, but "the vocabulary was never so rude." Sainz went onto say she "thinks the media in the locker room was upset about the vocabulary they used to refer to me."

Sainz doesn't intend to pursue any further action and trusts the NFL in what the league decides to do. Scroll down to watch the interview.

Simple Solution: Actual Football (SAH-kur) already does it: all interviews are on the field post-half/post-game or in the media room.

This ensures equal access to the story regardless of gender, keeps the neanderthals in their place, and allows grown-ups to believe that they're actually surrounded by other grownups.

Simple. Oh wait, there are no helmets and bestiality so it's not "American" enough of a solution. Oh well, we tried. 'Merkaans aren't known for their common sense anyway.

"Actual Football" is Rugby. Soccer is an English term that is a contraction of "Association Football", which is to distinguish Kickyball from real football. Soccer fans in Europe make ape-like hooting sounds and throw bananas when a black player is on the field, so don't tell me about Kickyball's "class."

If she is a professional reporter and goes into the locker room, she should be professionally dressed. On the other hand, just because men are in locker room does not give them an excuse to behave badly.

Okay, great. She's not suing and she got the exposure she was looking for. Now, let's forget her and never offer her another interview. I can pretty much guarantee the reason she was treated that way is because they didn't respect her. They saw what she was wearing and immediately they figured "hot bimbo." None of our female sports reporters are thought of like that. Most of them are extremely attractive, but they dress and act like professionals, and they know about sports.

She doesn't seem to be dressed any different than the majority of Fox News female anchors and talking heads.

This is the look that sells in the same markets that these sports are popular. The men are dressed provocatively too, that is the whole point about a locker room interviews.... its not a serious interview ...its an extension of the whole sexy gladiator style show that people want to see.

But that said "everyone" in those locker rooms is paid to be a "professional show-person"...and any language that is a call for sexual assault is not professional. Seeing as women do not have history of saying sexually provocative comments as a flag to warn of impending sexual assault...but men do...men need to be checking themselves on this tactic.

Ms. Sainz said male reporters came to her defense, reported the incident, and male front office acted swiftly to make sure she was alright. She was a victim that day and on that day did nothing wrong while Jets responded swiftly. But she appears to have a history of sexualizing athletes and that's relevant since she has access to locker rooms. She asks football players to lift her up, measure their biceps, feel their muscles, put her on their shoulders, dressing as a bride to ask for marriage, while marketing herself as "world's sexiest sports reporter". Howard Stern reporting, sexualizing athletes for viewer's pleasure. On the job, that's called harassment. Female reporters have come out and said Ms. Sainz acts inappropriate. WNBA does not allow male reporters into locker room until all women are completely dressed and had a cool down period - they certainly would never allow a male reporter access to any player if he had a history of touching and sexualizing athletes as Ms. Sainz has a history of doing. She needs to clean up her act, or force her to as they have done to athletes who were making her feel very uncomfortable. At times like this, I remember what Ghandi once said..."daaang, that chick is stacked out HOT!!...but she digs my ripped abs too so it's all good". Much ado about nothin'. Hot chicks getting silly with hot guys, vice versa. Meanwhile, in Niger...

Why do they keep saying GORGEOUS???
She is just another plastic bottle blonde with that pancake makeup and porn star makeup on! You could do a makeover on any thin woman and probably get the same look

I would have a hard time with one of my daughters wearing that painted on clothing out of the house let alone into a locker room full of swinging you know whats. My little girls are half Hispanic and the culture likes to wear tight clothing so I'm sure it will end up being a fight around our house in the future. I'm not looking forward to it.

Calm down, CEOs and other businessmen always give their quarterly reports from a country club locker room while they are wrapped in a towel.

Remind me on how this is any different from a bunch of NYC construction workers catcalling an attractive woman as she passes on the street?
Its pretty simple--if you want people to think you're modest about your body and appearance and treat you accordingly, dress modestly. If you want people to notice how attractive you are and accentuate your assets, then dress to suit that desire.
I'm not saying dress in a Burqa, but think about how what you wear informs people of your personality and intentions. If you're dressed like a Police Officer, usually you get treated like one. Does anyone think Christiane Amanpour would have gotten catcalled? How about Pam Oliver? Think about it. Anyone can tell this woman is more about selling her APPEARANCE than her story. Pam and Christiane are both Professional Journalists who happen to be lovely women. This woman strikes me as a model who happens to be a Journalist.

Yeah, and I believe I should be allowed to enter into a female locker room full of naked women to “interview” them. That is not inappropriate! I’m not lusting or even seeing them as sexual creatures, believe me…just let me in….I’ll be good….I promise and don’t judge me because I’m a professional!

Can men go into female locker rooms when they are changing? Females should not be in a males locker room period. This is liberalism and feminism run amuck.

No one forced her to go into the locker room. They shouldn't of treated her the way they did!! This has nothing to do with liberalism or feminism, perhaps you just want to see her barefoot and pregnant?

Did you even watch the video? In her own admission she really didn't even hear what was being said about her. There is no harassment! Cut it out!

There are pre-determined times in all sports that reporters can enter locker rooms. So yes, male reporterrs CAN enter female locker rooms. Women just tend to pay attention to those times and be fully clothed. :)
