Definite douches, but I will never understand sending women into actual dressing rooms and locker rooms. Or men into womens locker rooms (if that happens)? Always a recipe for disaster. Young, pissy, and privileged alpha males in a locker room. It is called "locker room behavior" for a reason.

As I understand it now there is a period where the players dress and media aren't allowed, and then the reporters are let in. Maybe I am wrong though.

I've seen many a broke down drunk in my job. It is terrible. Saw a woman the other day. Late 30's early 40's with kids and husband. Bored housewife syndrome I believe with her too though. Saw her at 10AM and she stunk of booze. Stale booze smell AND fresh booze. Probably to steady her hands. Sad...

Saw the line in the story though, about her waiting tables while starting out at a German "Wursthaus". She was doomed. Then go into the world of 90's sports reporting. I bet she WAS the life of the party though. I've met a couple of those too. So fun to be around you are addicted to them. Even though you know you are not helping them by partying with them. We probably have all had a friend like that. They are a blast, but you realize their drinking is on another level. I've had to distance myself from a couple over the years. You just feel like YOU are the reason they got BOMBED on a random thursday instead of just having 5 or 6 and going to bed. Your presence is an excuse to push it and get trashed.

I am now rambling.......

Are male journalists allowed into a female locker room while theyre showering and undressing for interviews?

King in the North, pal

Jennifer Frey was a superstar in her profession
Very sad and yet another example of how lethal alcohol abuse can be

No. Of course not. It's their turn. Why do you hate women?

Frey took a summer internship with the Detroit Free Press upon graduating in 1990. She got lots of attention almost immediately—though not the kind she would have hoped for. No, Frey owed her first national notice to an ace pitcher being a jerk. She was at Tiger Stadium before a game and approached Jack Morris in the locker room for an interview. Slightly varying versions of Morris’ exact phrasing were published at the time, but the consensus quote had him telling the intern, “I don’t talk to women when I’m naked unless they’re on top of me or I’m on top of them.”

Frey told her editors what had happened. Neal Shine, publisher of the Free Press, wrote a letter about the incident to Bo Schembechler, who became president of the team after a legendary run coaching Michigan football. Neither Schembechler nor anybody with the organization disputed Frey’s version of what the player said. But instead of apologizing, Schembechler wrote back attacking Frey and her bosses. He told Shine that “your intern watched men from 20 to 65 years of age undress and dress for more than half an hour without asking questions.” “Your sports editor’s lack of common sense in sending a female college intern in a men’s clubhouse caused the problem,” Schembechler wrote. “I really wouldn’t doubt that the whole thing was a scam orchestrated by you people to create a story.” Schembechler said he wouldn’t let any female member of his family into that locker room “regardless of their job description.”

I never knew Schembechler was president of the Detroit Tigers
