Ines Sainz Says She Made No Charges Against Jets
The reporter at the center of the Jets sexual harassment controversy says that she was not the one who initially complained about the behavior of the players and coaches.
Ines Sainz sat down with the CBS Morning Show to discuss the details of what happened in the locker room of the New York Jets as she tried to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez for TV Azteca. Speaking in English, Sainz explained that she largely ignored the cat calls and the inappropriate language that was being fired at her while she stood interviewing Mark Sanchez next to his locker. She said that the situation because a story because there were several other media members in the locker room at the same time, all of whom witnessed what was happening.
It was not until the story began to circulate that she commented publicly about the event. Sainz has been working as a news reporter for nine years and has successfully completed hundreds of interviews with the best athletes in the world - all over the world. She did admit, however, that the "vocabulary" being used by the Jets players was disturbing to her, even relative to what she has encountered through nearly ten years on the job.
Sainz is an extremely attractive woman and she was dressed somewhat differently than most U.S. female sports reporters when conducting locker room interviews. But her outfit was not inappropriate and she was in no way attempting to infuse sex into her interview approach.
The NFL is currently investigating the incident and the Jets have stated that they will comply with all requests from the NFL. Ultimately, nothing is likely to come of this incident, outside another reminder that NFL players and professional athletes in general are never to be considered as role models. They are simply men who have the fortune to spend their adult lives playing the games they loved as children. That dynamic is difficult to handle for many who ascend to that level of athletic accomplishment and recognition, especially when components of basic education and decorum are not in place.
