Do you think that female reporters being allowed in male athlete locker rooms should be invasion of privacy?

Question

I asked that because this issue still has continued to be problems. Some male athletes dont like to have to get naked and change in front of women that they dont want to. Also male reporters are not being granted the right to go in women athletes locker rooms. So if title IV and equality is now a big issue in fairness of equality should females not be allowed in male athletes locker rooms or should males be allowed in females locker rooms if females are given that right to interview male athletes?

Answer 1

I think ALL sports reporters should conduct their interviews OUTSIDE the locker room. It would be more professional for both the athlete and the reporter, and avoid all this debate about who is and is not allowed inside.

Answer 2

First of all... NO ONE should be allowed into the locker rooms... but ok, reporters are. Why female reporters are allowed into the men's locker rooms and not male reporters into the female's locker rooms is totally unfair... Sometimes men don't care if they are naked in front of women, but other times like after a game I bet they are tired and don't want a reporter (men or women) in the room asking stupid questions while they are getting naked and ready to get out from there and go to rest.

I say, fair would be that male reporters could also enter female's locker rooms. ANd that would also be invasion of privacy.... cause yes, it is invasion of privacy.... and....... correct, would be stopping reporters from getting into the locker rooms.

Answer 3

I'm not a professional athlete, but when I am in the locker rooms after a work out at the gym, I usually want to take a shower, get dressed and go home. Even though I love being naked in front of women (what guy doesn't?) I would feel uncomfortable if there was a woman in there asking questions with TV cameras all over the place.

Answer 4

Valid point. It's actually Title IX.

And, the women will always win battles like this since they are still treated with more respect than men, when it comes to being undressed.

Nonetheless, professional sports reporters are primarily motivated to cover the most popular sports. And, women's sports is far less popular than men's (though they have every right to play).

So, there is an economic factor here. If the women's game(s) were as large a draw as the men's, someone would be fighting this battle.

Very few reporters want to cover their sports anyway (no offense intended). So, it's pretty much a non-issue.

Answer 5

I think it's ridiculous that these female reporters are allowed in male locker rooms. Women don't want men coming in their locker rooms, but they should exercise the same courtesy and not invade men's privacy. I know many of these women are glancing at these men's penises and butts and muscles and other body parts. These women are such hypocrites, it's incredible. Just because they may not say anything, doesn't mean they're not thinking anything. And then feminists want to scream "sexism" when these male pro athletes have expressed concern over it. There should be no double standards. Either male reporters should be allowed in female locker rooms as well, or female reporters shouldn't be allowed in male locker rooms either.

Women, like men, are naturally curious about the opposite sex. Although most women won't admit it. Women reporters have been caught being perverted, oogling guys in the locker room. I think that as long as male reporters aren't allowed in female locker rooms, females shouldn't be allowed in male locker rooms:

"In a 1999 Wall Street Journal article, retired NFL defensive end Reggie White wrote that he couldn't see a legitimate reason 'for forcing male athletes to walk around naked in front of women who aren't their wives.' White claimed to have seen female reporters 'ogling guys in the locker room,' and encouraged players to fight against equal access for female reporters."


And all you guys saying you love being naked in front of (random) women -- have some class. There's a time and a place to be naked in front of a woman. When I get a physical exam, it's by a man. That doesn't make me "gay." When I'm in the locker room, I don't want a clothed woman walking around in the locker room. I love being naked in front of MY woman, as she is equally naked like me. I wouldn't want to walk around a bunch of clothed women, that I don't know, totally nude.

Answer 6

NO! They should not be allowed in locker rooms. No reporters should be allowed... men or women. Allow the guys a chance to shower and change and then interview them.... or, interview them before going into the locker rooms. The locker rooms should be off limits after a game. No reporter needs that interview that fast.

Answer 7

i always said if a woman had the balls to walk into a male locker room as an equal then she should be treated as a male . i have never made vulgar jokes to a male reporter but if i was in the shower i did not hide or cover up when i came out whatever i would do if i were alone then i would do if they were there if it was to apply some preparation H on my *** or ice on my balls if you don't want to see that you should look away

Answer 8

Well if a man was in the women's locker room, I would be outraged.
So, I suppose it's only fair that females not go in locker rooms, either.

Answer 9

As long as men are not allowed in women's locker rooms women should not be allowed in the men's.

Answer 10

Another example of the rampant inequities foisted opon weak-minded males who put up with it. The "other shoe" situation would have all of CNN's pitiful gang of equity-minded whores and whoremasters slavering over the network. Oh, I liked my metaphor, didn't you?
