Jenn Sterger: Ines Sainz 'Accomplished Exactly What She Set Out To Do'

Jenn Sterger, co-host of The Daily Line show on Versus, discussed the ongoing Ines Sainz saga with Sid Rosenberg on WQAM in Miami. Sainz, a female reporter for Azteca TV in Mexico, was allegedly harassed in the New York Jets locker room last Saturday.

Sterger said that Sainz is never appropriately dressed at sporting events and insisted that the Azteca correspondent accomplished her goal on Saturday.

"She accomplished exactly what she set out to do, are you kidding me? Exactly what she set out to do," said Sterger.

Sterger, who was recently thrown in to her own possible NFL harassment scandal, also touched on the topic of women in a men's locker room.

"I don't want to go into a men's locker room, let's put it that way. And not for the Clinton Portis-type reasons," she said. "I just feel like if we don't allow men into women's locker rooms, the same should carry over." Portis said earlier this week that female reporters are naturally attracted to athletes in a locker room environment.

Sterger does not appear to base this opinion in fact, however, as male reporters are allowed into WNBA locker rooms.

jenn sterger is famous for being a college sports fan that dressed in small clothing to get noticed...she is noone to talk about fame seeking...Apparently now she is the moral police...

I respend Inez for not pushing the issue....Just like every female reporter that cries foul in these situations, she knows what she is there for....to sell her body....that's it...

Jenn Sterger apparently thinks she is a respectable reporter now...

GO INEZ...

How about no reporters in the locker room period. If i was an athlete in the locker room and some jerkcock or jerkcunt came in to talk at me, I would throw my dirty clothes at them.

Why do we need any reporters in the locker room? It is insane as it is.

but how is that a quid pro quo?

women get NFL players dressing, men get WNBA players dressing
that's hardly fair

besides, i still don't get why there have to be *any* reporters in the dressing room

you know jenn went to fsu, so naturally she is going to talk dirty about the hurricane clinton portis.

As a result of this incident, I'm sure Sainz will:

Get her own Reality Show
Appear on "Dancing with the Stars"
Pose in provactive pics for Maxim or FHM and graduate to Playboy
Release a sex tape

Did I miss anything?

I've read that Joe Namath was watching practice that day accompanied by his daughter who was wearing short shorts. The coaches & players didn't harass her. Sainz never complained and when asked about the incident, said she wasn't harassed. I don't understand where the whiners get the silly idea that she was seeking the attention, she was just trying to do her job & interview Sanchez.

Roger Goodell has announced that in the future, classes will be provided to coaches, players and incoming rookies to teach them how to conduct themselves in various situations. Maybe some fans could use a class as well.

She got her 15 minutes.

In the eyes of most commentators who are men, she would have been "inappropriately dressed" if she weighed about fifty pounds more and had a belly and handles hanging over her low cut jeans and cropped shirt.
The fact is she was NOT dressed as a professional, especially to go into a men's locker room. There are many women who are in the media who actually are lots more attactive than this woman who do not need to flaunt and demean themselves to get a story or noticed.

i agree with most of what you said, but Inez Sainz is one very nice looking woman. but regardless, she shouldn't flaunt herself to get attention like she seems to do

[Jay818]

I don't agree that she is demeaning herself....

I believe you are demeaning when you dress like that and cry foul when you get the attention you are seeking....

she knows what people see in her and she sells it...and doesn't complain when a testosterone full man notices...

some women are just weird in that way..they dress for attention and then freak out when they get it.

In the accompanying article, author Dan Steinberg is doing his darned best to try and defend having ladies in men locker rooms. While reading it I felt he was really stretching to find some things to base his arguments on and he failed to persuade me. Women shouldn't be allowed in the locker rooms immediately after games. For that matter I don't think ANY reporters should be allowed in locker rooms after games. Being a sports fan for decades I could never figure out why reporters needed to be there.

Wait, isn't this the same chick who's claim to fame was being noticed for 3 seconds by a TV camera at a Florida State game wearing a bikini top and cowboy hat, somehow leading to a Maxim shoot for her, propelling her "career"? Why yes, yes it is.... Click on google image results, and ask what is SHE trying to accomplish? Sounds jealous and bitter.

[KaLeeDo]

07:15 AM on 09/22/2010

Why yes it is...and that to me makes her an authority since she was doing the same thing Ines was doing. Only way waaaay hotter than Ms. Sainz...nothing wrong with flaunting your looks just don't cry foul when you get the attention you were obviously seeking.

sounds to me like she knows the territory, sounds like she's speaking from experience

She's got it, she flaunted it. Nothing wrong here.

I have been in Professional Football Locker rooms after practices and games and it is unrealistic to expect that an invasion of privacy such as interviewing while dressing should not be treated as a violation. Catcalls are not professional but when interviewing people when getting dressed considered professional either? It is an old tradition that has been kept but altered with the change in gender of reporters. Why not just limit access to the room outside the locker room when the clothes are on?

[Mike Tartaglia]

You should read Peter King's MMQB this week on SI's website. he talks about why locker room access is important and he'd never want to give it up as a sportswriter. he makes some pretty good points.

[Stanley]

Peter King has his arguments and I won't invalidate them. But there is no burning question that requires being disrobed. If it will remain a gender-friendly profession then fair-play requires re-examining the way things work.Yes in the heat of the moment after an event you get some good quotes, but mostly you get cliches. They are not solving world peace, just trying to sell soap with a headline.
