Sainz is No Saint

There's no question in my mind that Ines Sainz was not treated as a professional journalist upon entering the NY Jets' locker room earlier this season. Of course she wasn't - professionals journalists do not wear skin tight jeans, heels and mid-drift halter tops with plunging neck lines to work. Sainz is no victim. Sainz is a woman with a closet full of skimpy clothing.

Let's rewind back a few years: Erin Andrews is a young reporter, who is breaking barriers for women in her field. While getting dressed in her private hotel room, a man photographed her without her consent. This man illegally took pictures of the young journalist and displayed them for the world to see. She was a victim.

If you are ever to watch Erin Andrews on the sidelines of a football game, take note of her outfit and makeup choices. Andrews, who is undoubtedly attractive, dresses like a professional and conducts herself as such. She wears conservative clothing, as she is there to do a job. She has an enormous amount of respect for both herself and her career. She is aware that she is a role model for hundreds of young girls and continues to further her career through hard work and dedication.

No woman deserves to be sexually harassed, but Ines Sainz does not deserve sympathy for being the subject of locker room cat calls when she dresses like a pussycat doll. A great journalist should be selling the fact that they possess strong communication skills, an eye for a great story and the ability to deliver excellent coverage in their area of expertise, not the way they can fit in jeans that are two sizes too small.

You will never see a male journalist enter a woman's locker room to conduct a post-game interview with his shirt unbuttoned to his mid-chest. He would be fired immediately.

It saddens me that this woman, who has so little respect for herself and her career, has garnered the amount of media attention that she has. If this woman did not expect the reaction she got from her outfits, she is dumber than the person who sued McDonalds because they were burned by their hot coffee. But, this is America. The coffee-burned genius won their case and Ines continues to press coverage and a pity party. I maintain that this isn't a case of ignorance. So, thank you, Ines, for the crack in a road that woman like Erin Andrews and Andrea Kremer so gracefully paved in an industry dominated by men.
