"GIVE ME, GIVE ME A QUOTE"

Why do any reporters need access to players' locker rooms? Even if they are poured into a pair of designer jeans as Inez.

There's much to do, albeit late on my part, about women reporters wanting to interview players immediately after the game. In order to do that, they want permission to go into the locker room and ask questions.

I'm not going to ask if men are allowed in womens' locker rooms after the game because to me it's not a matter of sexual discrimination. My animus is why are any reporters allowed access?

Athletes have the right to privacy, to shower and dress without anyone else around except other players and coaches. Then they can make themselves available in the press/media room for interviews or question and answer sessions.

Furthermore, if they don't want to answer questions or be interviewed, then they won't show up. They don't really have to provide insights or answers if they choose not to. The public simply doesn't have that right, though I'm sure they think they do.

Then to compound the issue, you get Inez who dresses like she does, gets heckled, cries foul, and then gets an offer to pose in Playboy.

Sports are getting crazy enough as it is (300-pound linemen in high school? When I was in just out of high school, one of the best offensive guards on our team that lost 1 game all year weighed under 150.) Let's make it easier and restrict only those that played or coached in the game get to go into the locker room. Either that or let's go completely berserk and allow them in the huddle.
