Why are women reporters allowed in men’s lockerrooms, but not vice versa? And why would reporter’s even be allowed into the opposite-sex’s lockerroom at all?
I don’t suppose you happen to have a cite for your assertion?
I am pretty sure that I have read that female sports writers are allowed into male locker rooms. The reason would be that none of the males in there cared or they even like it. I suppose that a male sportswriter could come into a female locker room if none of them objected but what is the chance of that happening? (Come to think of it, I used to routinely shower and shave in a female dorm lavatory in college because it was convenient. No one objected and I didn’t get to see as many niceties again until the internet became widespread),
I wouldn’t say that they aren’t allowed in the sense that there are Marine guards at the door. It is just that everyone has enough sense not to do that these days. Even doctors and other health professionals are always very aware of it.
According to the article, this isn’t true.
So male doctors and medical staff aren’t allowed in women’s lockerrooms either? 
Oh well, I would have.
The article is biased against that type of thing. That is why it was written. One of my close coworkers is married to a Major League Baseball Player. I could ask her to ask him but it might be a little awkward.
Men might just get pissed if the lean that way. Females may cry much louder and the consequences may be much worse. You didn’t hear anyone in that article getting anything other than irritated did you? That isn’t much of a deterrent.
Uh, no. There were numerous lawsuits filed, and players resisted this VERY strongly.
Is it even within the realm of possibility that a Doper could not decipher that statement and figure out how it applies to the world at large? I choose not to believe it either.
Recently? As in the last 10 years. Where?
If women are allowed in male locker rooms, and the reasoning is that male reporters have an unfair advantage, then male reporters should be allowed in women’s locker rooms.
I didn’t see anything in that article to support your contention that male reporters are not permitted in women’s lockerrooms.
When team sports are competed equally by male and female teams, there might be a question to answer. Until then, it’s either a bit silly or a matter best answered via the two-click rule.
I’ll tell ya. I have definitely seen it on the two-click rule. I am not sure if it was a documentary or what but the guys took to it like Goldilocks to porridge.
Note the past tense in my sentence. The issue of men’s lockerroom’s has been settled for years. I don’t doubt that some, especially devoutly religious players like White and Ward, are still bothered by it, but it’s a fait accompli.
I doubt that White is bothered very much by it.
Touche. 
In New York City, women reporters were banned from the locker room at Yankee Stadium until around 1978, at which point Judge Constance Baker Motley issued a court order that the Yankees had to treat reporters of both genders equally. That meant the team could either kick out ALL reporters, or allow both men and women into the locker room. Several similar court orders came down in other states. A few teams tried to keep reporters out of the locker room, and to restrict all reporters to an interview room away from the locker room, but almost all of them gave that up quickly enough.
That’s because there’s a LOT of interest in men’s sports, and reporters of both genders complained (validly) that they missed out on the whole mood of the team and couldn’t effectively file stories unless they were able do do interviews on the spot.
The same rules apply to women’s athletics. The difference is, VERY few people get excited about women’s sports. So, if a women’s sports team restricts all journalists of both genders to a separate interview area away from the locker room, very few reporters will make a federal case of it.
I know a few guys who LOVE women’s colegiate volleyball.
When I went to high school I followed our girls’ volleyball team so closely that the athletic director ended up giving me an official position (not that kind, unfortunately). I wasn’t too interested in the game itself, though. (The team was almost exclusively Vietnamese and tight-bodied. Mmm mmmm…those were the days…)
