No reporters allowed

Why are interviews conducted in the locker rooms? If I was a professional athlete I would not answer questions in the locker room, period. I would be offended if some reporter stuffed a microphone in my face while I was trying to get cleaned up and dressed. I don’t see reporters following politicians, pop stars or other icons into bathrooms to conduct their “business.”

Women should not be in men’s locker rooms, period. They cry foul though because men can go in there. OK, so don’t let anyone in the locker room to ask questions. Have a media room instead and prevent potential problems to begin with. That’s what they do for female athletes. Oh yeah, male reporters are not allowed in women’s locker rooms. Did I forget to mention that little tidbit? It is another double standard that has no place in the 21st century.

When a woman enters a men’s team locker room she is putting herself in a bad situation to begin with. Men aren’t allowed in Women’s locker rooms, so why are women allowed to go into men’s? To me it is an invasion of privacy. Those athletes don’t want a microphone shoved in their faces while they are trying to wind down, clean up and get dressed. Many young players don’t want a woman around when they are trying to get dressed. It doesn’t matter whether the woman is looking at them or not.

Women, I challenge you to go pee with a strange man standing in the stall with you cleaning the door. Don’t worry; he won’t be looking at you. He’ll have his back to you. He’s just there to do his job. I like this writer’s article.
