Erin Andrews and the Cubs locker room: Discuss

Randy Shannon thought she was a student reporter (/crossthread)

 

Strange coincidence, but after reading this thread I watched as a male reporter make physical contact with a player during an interview, kind of a playful push after a joke. No one even looked at them funny, or commented on what either were wearing. Probably no one even picked up on it in the same context.

I can tell you it won't be on TBL.

 

Was it a playful push to the tush?

 

"push to the tush" would be a great song title.

 

If you goof "push to the tush" this is what you get

Enjoy

 

A room full of children.

 

some people in this world never allow themselves.

 

I think the difference is most of us aren't women. Has a player ever made a joke like that to you? How should she have responded? Pointed and called him a sexual harasser? Called the PR staff over? And never worked again in this business? Can't say I know the feeling, but I think the point is it's an impossible position to be in, as the women have pointed out.

 

Innocent question: How much of what Erin Andrews wears is determined by ESPN image crews?

 

That's how you know a great lifter.

 

If I read one more stupid "if a guy wore (whatever)....." comment, I'm going to scream.

The difference here is that when a guy walks into a locker room full of guys, no one notices and no one cares. When a woman walks into a locker room full of guys, it's an entirely different dynamic. I'm not saying it's right, I'm not saying it gives anybody a right to gawk or wink or made rude comments, I'm just saying it's a completely different dynamic. There is no comparison based on what a male would wear in that environment.

Please try to understand that.
