Female Sports Reporters

In a typically male-dominated field, female sports reporters were not allowed to enter male locker rooms until a 1978 federal court ruling. Since then, there have been various reports of discrimination. The latest: TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz. The NFL is investigating New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and players from the team for inappropriate behavior toward Sainz while she was working on a story about quarterback Mark Sanchez. Sainz, however, said she never felt intimidated. "In my opinion, I never felt attacked, nor that they reacted grossly toward me," she said on Mexican TV station DeporTV. Sainz tweeted about the incident, writing, "Thanks everyone for your support. I already spoke to the NFL, which will decide if there will or will not be consequences." (Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)
