    The series is "Nine for IX," with Pat Summitt, Katarina Witt, and the '99 USWNT among the other subjects. I'm looking forward to them.

    And yes, it's amazing how many people (including some in the industry) just assume that all women's locker rooms are closed to male reporters. Guess that ESPN camera just magically appeared in Louisville's when Kevin Durant showed up after they beat Baylor. With that said, I doubt the WNBA gets much coverage up north, so I can see MacLean not knowing their rules.

    As for Cherry, I'd be more annoyed if I hadn't already tuned him out a long time ago. Not a good look for Canada's public broadcast network, though.

    Since we're in 70s mode with this topic, Roger Angell wrote a story for the New Yorker on the issue as it pertained to baseball in its April 9, 1979, edition. Don't know if it's online anywhere, but I know it's in one of the collections of his essays ... and here's a review.

    Guess he's taking a break from the "Europeans will ruin hockey" theme.

    What's the vice versa here? Men's locker rooms in women? Ouch!

    A clown comment by someone who wears clown outfits and owns a VW Bug dealership.

    As mentioned earlier, this garbage was settled 30 years ago. Why we even have to discuss it is baffling.

    Players are also free to cover themselves up. Just a thought.

    Drip, what the hell were you doing at Riverfront when Sam Wyche was in Seattle?

    Covering a game between the Bengals and the Jets. Why do you ask?

    Because Sam Wyche's well-publicized rant and barring of a woman in the locker room happened in Seattle.

    No. The rant actually happened in Riverfront. I know because I was there.

    Then you imagined something that didn't happen.

    http://articles.latimes.com/1990-10-02/sports/sp-1891_1_locker-room

    SEATTLE — Cincinnati Bengals Coach Sam Wyche barred a female reporter from his team's locker room Monday night, just hours after the NFL named an investigator to look into the alleged sexual harassment of another woman reporter.

    Denise Tom of USA Today was barred from the Cincinnati locker room after the Bengals' 31-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
