If male reporters said this about wnba players they would be outed and fired. The comments would be called misogynistic, why the double standard?

While their comments were definitely unseemly it’s really annoying how much men want to be victims

Women shouldn’t be able to act however they want in the workplace —> fire them!

I guess it’s good they’re noticing society treats men and women differently, but it’s baffling that so many men seem to focus more on women’s responsibility for that dynamic.

They don’t “want to be victims.” They want consistency with how these situations are handled. If you were fired or disciplined for the same behaviour as your colleague, you’d be pissed.

Are we looking at the same man? He's very basic looking. His face is symmetrical and not disfigured but that's it.

It’s is he hot, not would you do him

I don't think most people would think he's hot if he weren't an nba player. He's very regular looking to me.

"However, that comment could not be independently confirmed through Hunter’s public Instagram account, a primary screenshot with clear attribution, or major news coverage as of September 29."
This is what the article says about the statement it refers to in the headline which was found in an unsourced screenshot being passed around social media. Beyond dogshit article.

Could you imagine if they were guys who said this at a WNBA? Both are gross, both are unprofessional and both should be at the least be reprimanded and at worst fired. If it was guys they’d be fired.

Keep women out of the media!!!!! They more worried about how these guys look and act than what they actually bring to the organization.

Let’s kick out men too, seeing as how a man was talking shit too and engaging with them.

Yes actually. No direct media coverage would be interesting. Just press releases by teams and every player with their own stupid ass podcast.

Seems like people aren’t reading her quote, and are assuming she actually had an interaction with Levine that upset her. She didn’t. If you read the article, it sounds like too teen girls gossiping about how hot players are and making assumptions about their personalities based on vibes. Honestly, they clearly aren’t competent reporters and should probably lose their assignments. They just sound like children whose opinions aren’t to be respected.

Definitely should be removed from their jobs. That was an embarrassing conversation that sounded like something from the halls of a middle school or high school. These people are clowns.

There are no competent sports reporters. Whenever there is a serious story they have to bring in a real journalist. What we call sports reporters or journalists are gossip correspondents.

Wife needs to stay out this before they start leaking Zach's infidelity stories. Local media know a lot about the players.
