And finally, offended, made to feel uncomfortable around young, half naked or naked male millionaires showering and changing clothes in their locker room reporter babe Inez Sainz. She complained to her boss at and they referred her to The Association of Women in Sports Media in America who asked the league to investigate on her behalf. She’s also been on every major network since yesterday morning regarding this.
To me, she appears to be looking to “score” in regards to her career. That or really, REALLY naive and dumb. I think that these idiots somehow blaming HER for anything because of the way she dressed is also asinine and stupid. In my opinion, it doesn't MATTER what she wore or wears while doing her job. Why is this even mentioned? I really DO know why, I just fail to see how this matters and to me sounds like a sleazy defense lawyer would say defending his client of rape. I think that these idiots somehow blaming HER for anything because of the way she dressed are also asinine and stupid.
As far as I know, she wasn’t fondled or asked or encouraged to DO anything. From what I've read, she experienced “cat calls” and “looks" which she admits made her feel uncomfortable. On all of her estimated 21 television appearances over the last 24 hours, she repeatedly downplayed the extent to which she was bothered by the New York Jets' practice antics and she doesn't plan on suing the NY Jets. Yet, the interviews and complaints on her behalf are still moving forward.
Jets owner Woody Johnson's apology was enough for her she says also adding that she definitely will not be toning down her sexy sideline style.
All in all, she's making great lemonade out of her situation. Sainz, (who has three prestigious graduate degrees from Mexico or Peru), has parlayed the incident into appearances on the talk show circuit. She continued her onslaught of television appearances on Good Morning America, The Today Show among others today (Tuesday). Her Twitter account gained thousands of followers -- a jump of over 20 percent in just one day. Google has charted her as the most popular search for an entire day as well – which is very unusual. Women in the media have staunchly come to her defense, making her a sort of figurehead for their movement. Don't be surprised if we see a lot more of the "hottest sports reporter in Mexico" in her signature photo shoots and on our TV sets.
The NFL is investigating the matter..
What say you?
BTW: ines sainz, puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, PS3, Xbox, Halo Reach, bikini, lesbians are all popular tags used when searching stories on the internet today.
