Lance Briggs: Locker room is for men

I'm going 2 have 2 agree with Lance.


LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs reiterated his stance Thursday that female reporters don't belong in a men's locker room.

"No, I don't regret what I said," Briggs said, referring to a Wednesday interview with NBC Chicago. "My statement is that the men's locker room is for men. Just like the women's locker room is for women.

"I meant no disrespect to [the NBC reporter or] any women in our locker room, because we've never had any problems in our locker room. The fact that there is an issue over a woman in the men's locker room, to me is ridiculous. I don't think there should ever be a problem in the men's locker room. That's our realm."

I don't disagree with him. shrug

Yes, I do...but I do not think interviews should be done in locker rooms at all. I don't care if athletes don't want to be bothered to come to a press area. They sure would start to care if reporters just stopped coming to them and they no longer got any airtime.

How about the "locker room celebration"? Like when a team wins the championship etc?

I like seeing those celebrations, but otherwise agree that interviews in the locker room are not necessary.

I'm firmly planted in denial

If female reporters aren't allowed, then male reporters can't be allowed either. It's an either/or.

I'm all for keeping all but team personnel out of the locker room. I don't really care either way.

Lance is telling the truth, but of course our pussified society can't handle the truth, and he'll get fined by the league.

That makes no sense.

A man isn't allowed into a womens locker room and I think it should go both ways.

You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam!

Do they all shower together in the NBA? I've always thought communal showers were weird.

It's true. Male reporters shouldn't be in women's locker rooms, either.

Why do we, as Americans, argue the shit out of the most simple shit? rolleyes

In the WNBA, yes. Here's an example:

Those interviews are probably pre-arranged. Show me a video of a shirtless woman as she's just stepped out of the shower then it's the same thing.
