The NFL is currently investigating the alleged harassment of Azteca TV reporter Ines Sainz at a New York Jets practice. Sainz has since spoken about the ongoing controversy, but she is not the only one to weigh in.
Portis explained that when there is a "nice woman" in a room with 53 men, they will "want to say something."
Portis didn't stop there. The Redskins star believes that Sainz was likely attracted to at least one of the Jets players. "You put a woman and you give her a choice of 53 athletes, somebody got to be appealing to her." he said. "Somebody got to spark her interest, or she's gonna want somebody. I don't know what kind of woman won't, if you get to go and look at 53 men's packages." |
I'm going to defend her. She was doing her job. She's not a sports reporter even. The only reason she is there is to interview Sanchez for the Hispanic audience. The guys harassed her a little because it was probably the first time they had ever seen her, and she was dressed revealing. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She was probably embarassed for being in the locker room with naked men to begin with and embarassed about some of the antics of these men, but not offended. It was a stupid idea by the network to do the feature in the locker room, couldn't they have gottem him to have a sit-down interview in a studio?
I think this is a self-guilt apology and investigation. Nothing really happened.
And Portis is just stupid. Many women do a very good job and are professional in a locker room as beat reporters.
