Don't judge all men on the behavior of Favre. He'd already cheated on his wife before when she was fighting breast cancer.
Something tells me this thread will go over like a lead balloon, but I thought I would try it anyway. The recent Brett Favre scandal has forced some to reconsider the role of women in sports. From the comments by PTI's co-host over Hannah Storm to Cheerleaders and the at ude from some on here over women's basketball, I am led to wonder: is there any place for women in this world where they will get any respect?

Women get plenty of respect when they act like professionals. When they dress like a and walk around with their s hanging out, what the do they expect?
if The Situation became a sports reporter but still acted like a bag and popped his shirt off at every opportunity, and STILL was treated and respected like a normal sports reporter, THEN there's a problem.
Mono is right:::women by and large use what's below their neck. Men by and large use what's above their neck.
I remember when 'ol Cubby, Hubby, and IMex met up with Sterger twixt 18 summers ago when she had just befallen puberty, luva in the car with the chloroform rag.
tee, hee
She smelled like a grape.
I'm a womens basketball coach for nearly ten years now!
...lets start the bashing of me!!!
Are you aware of the drunken Joe Namath incident? He propositioned a sideline reporter completely covered and simply interviewing him at a game. You call that "a lot of respect?"
Are you saying that Tony Kornheiser should've made those comments about Hannah Storm because she wore a skirt on-air doing Sportscenter? He essentially called her too old for the outfit. No one ever has called him "too bald to be on TV."
Women are treated as trophies in this profession. They are treated like this which opens up jobs to be exploited for their looks. Isn't the culture to blame here somewhat?
So the rambling, barely coherent words of a drunken man are your argument? Joe Namath was so drunk he would have made out with Al Michaels (that probably gets you all hot and bothered crofl). That's not about the lack of respect for women in the profession, that's about ESPN AND SUZY KOLBER being re ed and letting a drunk old man on the air in the first place.
Also, can I counter with Andrea Kremer obviously trying to flirt on the air with Tom Brady?
You call that behavior deserving of respect?
Every day Tony Kornheiser wears a dress shirt and tie on the air. That's appropriate dress for the job he's in. He never goes out there in a muscle shirt, he never wears a wifebeater, He doesn't get in front of the camera wearing jean shorts, or anything that could even be remotely described as inappropriate for a person on ESPN.
Hannah Storm wearing a short skirt would absolutely be inappropriate if that skirt is put on the air. If she had more respect for herself and her profession, she would wear something more formal and conservative on the air, just like every other man on the set is wearing.
And your "bald" argument is laughably obtuse. That's part of his physical appearance that he can't change. Nobody can fault him for that. Just like nobody can fault S ey Smith for being fat (and btw, there's an example of a woman who is respected in her profession and never does anything to lose that respect.)
If Hannah Storm has nice legs or a great rack, fine. She can't lose respect for that. But she absolutely can lose respect, and ultimately show her lack of self respect, by wearing a short skirt to show off her legs, or a low cut blouse to show off her s.
Only when they PURPOSELY doll themselves up to look like trophies.
Robin Roberts has risen to great heights, getting her start in sports journalism, and never once did she feel the need to dress inappropriately or do anything to exploit her feminine wares. There's plenty of other female sports journalists who have done the same thing.
It's the s like Erin Andrews and Jen Sterger and that one Brazilian who give good female journalists a bad name. They themselves out, then get pissed when men treat them like the s they've dressed up as. If you don't want to be treated like a , THEN DON'T WEAR A 'S UNIFORM.
Most male sportscasters are bald, fat and unattractive. They dress conservatively because they should. There is nothing wrong with women in sports journalism dressing attractively. Hannah Storm looks good for her age and she dresses appropriately. These women are working in sports, not on Wall Street for chrissakes. That one chick who had the trouble in the Jets locker room is an extreme example, but she is not a respected journalist. Sports and entertainment go hand in hand. There is no rationale for women in the entertainment industry to dress conservatively. It's stupid.
Brett Farve, Ben Rothlisberger and the ilk get in trouble because they are idiots. These guys have mountains of opportunities and haven't had a real ego check since they were in high school. Two separate issues.
lakaluva, you've posted that clip before . . . you really relate to it, eh?
Not really. One comment, bro . . .
great ing classy dressed reporter trying to do her job who just happens to be a woman
crofl, exactly!
if Jenn Sterger or whoever would dress professionally and not like they're some random skank off Jersey Shore, they'd get respect.
Is Jenn Sterger a reporter? I thought she was just a who went to Florida St. football games.
she's a sideline reporter for the Jets. she also has done work for ESPN and ABC. If she dresses like a pros ute and then gets offended when men proposition her, she's a re ed , end of story.
First impressions of people are made in the first 3 minutes of seeing them. First impression I get from that sideline reporter are thoughts of the filthy things I would do to her.
In short, "You want a story, I want to donkey punch you. Maybe we can work something out honey."
Women shouldn't get respect if they don't even respect themselves. If they are going to use their body to get ahead, then they are setting up to be looked at the same way from that point on. This is something that men have learned a long time ago.
Women will get respect once they earn it. The world has been male dominated for so long it is normalcy for a man to think they are superior. The world needs a woman who can beat the man at their own game. Hilary Clinton came close until she started sounding like a pissed off high school girl during the debates with Obama. There just aren't that many HIGHLY publicized females that are able to keep pace with men at their own game.
ass Bynum was hurt in this clip as well .......
yeah, the kitchen.
No, she's not. She was an in-stadium host for the game--interviewing fans and running games. She's not a reporter.
Darrin, you're going to stay a virgin if you keep up with this women's lib . Treat 'em rough, you get the muff.
I'm a virgin?!?
Wasn't it you with the "is it bad to be 20-something and still a virgin" thread?
If not I apologize...
