She's a pretty face with painted on jeans, a low cut top and a microphone. I'm sure she fills her role well, but let's not pretend that we don't know exactly what her role is.
This isn't to say the Jets should have acted as they did, you're right she should be treated as any other reporter. I guess it comes down to the notion that the way you act dictates the way you will be treated. Act unprofessionally, get treated unprofessionally. It doesn't excuse professional athletes from acting like high school kids, but it certainly prevents me from being the least bit outraged by the situation. And I absolutely hate the Jets, I will take any opportunity to curse them and laugh at their misfortune.

I agree. I think both parties are at fault here. The Jets clearly shouldn't be cat-calling any reporter like that. But she also should dress and act a little more professional if she wants to be treated as such. I thought Ashley Fox (who wrote the article) summed it up best when she said "If you want to be treated like a girl at a bar, dress like a girl at a bar. If you want to be treated professionally and without incident, cover up."
When a pretty girl dressed in unbelieveably tight jeans and a low-cut shirt walks into a dressing room full of millionaire alpha males, the rest kind of writes itself.
