A few years ago there was a big flap over women reporters in mens locker rooms. That's why you see after game interviews on a podium with the teams web site and what not on the wall behind. Women susposedly could no longer enter mens locker rooms for interviews and because they batched about it not being fair, they went with the podium thing. Well here lately, I've seen lots of locker room interviews. Guys sitting right at their locker with what seems no clothes on, maybe wrapped in a towel. All I'm saying is, I want to become a reporter so I can interview Candace Parker sitting at her locker with no clothes on. If women can again enter mens lockers, then men should be allowed to enter womens locker rooms.

girls should not be in mens rooms and men should not be in girls room - i know i sound like my father - but if you are going to be offended by what you hear or by what is said - why would you want to be there (to be offended ) - oh i forgot if your offended you can sue for money from the sports player or team - that's why you might want to be there - the reporter being the news or reporting the news

I say get rid of the whole locker room interview.

After a game emotions can be running high, in a good or bad way.

Let players calm down and gather themselves before talking to the public. A lot of stupid stuff has happened and been said when reports shove their mic's in players faces in the locker room.
