Erin Andrews and the Cubs locker room: Discuss

    Writing this column was more inappropriate than Andrews' actions. As for the dress ... come on, it's hot outside. Men can wear shorts in similar situations, and women don't wear shorts near the knees.

    Why don't we have a big debate the next time Tubby Tucker shows up in a polo shirt three sizes too small and covered in mustard?

    If someone on this board wants to debate her lockerroom conduct, fine (though it's been nothing but appropriate the several times we've covered the same game). But a column? Really? Reeks of envy.

    Not enough hair and f-a-r too tall (HI BRUCE!)
     
  3. What three pages and not one "I'd hit it" reference.

    Oh, and this is not one, Mrs. GBTG. I'm simply pointing out the obvious. Somewhere the president of SJ Masturbation Nation weeps.

    If a male reporter were in a female locker room and he ... oh wait, male reporters aren't allowed in female locker rooms. For all you pathetic feminists (men and women) who dominate this board, try THAT double-standard on for size.

    But you won't. It's always women who are being victimized, even when they're completely unprofessional, untalented and unsuited for their job.

    Completely agree. Even if her actions WERE inappropriate, why call her out in a public setting? Probably because the columnist would have a hard time looking at her eyes if he tried to approach her in person.

    Ding, ding ding. We have a winner.
    But everyone on here just seems afraid of the truth.
    She isn't talented, she's hot ... that is why she got the job, and that is why she continues to be employed.

    The part that is crazy is that women such as Erin Andrews really feel as if they are talented and are too damn airheaded to realize exactly why they are employed.

    Great journalists are getting caught in the budget crunch every day and losing their jobs while skanks like this continue to be employed. Something is wrong.

    This one is really teetering. If someone posts something obviously out of line, please don't quote it. It makes cleaning it up next to impossible. This could be a good discussion but I question whether I should leave it open.

    The dress is fine -- on a Friday night for cocktails with the ladies.
    The dress is not fine to wear as a credentialed member of the media at a MLB game.

    In that regard, yes, the dress is skank-like.
