Why do people seem to have a problem with male athletes complaining about...

[NetsFan]

...female reporters in locker rooms? I think the males who complain about it aren't sexist or gay but people make it seem that they are if they complain. Yet women for the most part don't want men who they are not with to see them naked and we don't see male reporters going into locker rooms. It should be equal rights both ways not what benefit you ladies.

I agree with you - should be a blanket ban on reporters going into the locker rooms. Causes too much trouble, and really has no necessity.

Half-time conferences is OK, but after the game, when people are showering and stuff should be off-limits.

I completely agree.
When it comes to sexism, a female has the higher stand. In some cases.

Why the Hell do You guys keep saying You ladies??
I'm a lady thank you very much.

You are aware that male reporters are completely allowed to go into female locker rooms to conduct interviews, yes? Female reporters don't go into male locker rooms while the athletes are prancing around naked, nor do the males who do in fact go into female locker rooms.

i think it is not as much a problem as it might seem. pro athletes know they are going to give interviews ON CAMERA, in the locker room after every game. they are not going to be naked in the area where they give interviews - because it will be televised. male and female reporters go into male and female athletes change rooms - in a predetermined interview area. they are not allowed to go into the shower room, and the athletes are always warned before hand that the camera crew is coming in.
the presence of the camera sort of makes the sex of the interviewer moot.

I sure dont. It is mostly chauvenist guys who calls that guy sexist or gay if he complains. some people dont have the knowledge that sexual harrassment can go both ways even if the female perpetrator is pretty.
