I don't think that's a good point at all. (1) If two men were in that situation, especially in the holding hands picture, there would be speculation about their sexuality. But that's really missing the point, which is that (2) if a male reporter were in that situation with a female athlete or coach, then people would care.

I do think people care more about what Dianna did than what Mike did, and that is the double standard here, not the fact that a female reporter with a male coach is getting more heat than a male reporter with a male coach would.

I think it's their jobs and the potential for the relationship to impact that. A journalist coverage of a person they are having a relationship with is going to be different. If it was a male reporter and a female athlete or coach, it would deservedly get attention.

I asked earlier in the thread, but I don't believe I saw an answer. How does Mike dating the reporter affect his professional judgment. I am seriously asking. I can see why an indepdent reporter should not sleep someone they report on. But what's the reverse?

It shows he has poor judgment. Not clever enough to avoid getting caught is the lowest bar. Brings the wrong kind of media attention/distracts from his team is a more common complaint. Depending on your viewpoint, you could consider him be a personally unethical person and there's a blurry line between personal and professional. For example, sometimes celebrities get fired for violating a morality clause. If he gets fired, that has a professional and personal impact on the athletes he mentored and recruited. Recruiting is seen as a personal relationship.

Look at the post above. Because there's bad publicity, he won't be coming to a press conference. So regardless of what went on, he's skipping a work function due to poor optics caused by poor judgment. So that's just the beginning. He also contributed to a situation in which a friend (or whatever) may lose professional opportunities. If you considered things totally above board and what went on to be just networking (lol), dude is bad at networking.

Yes, it shows poor ethical judgement on his part. The NFL has worked hard to get and keep female fans. A head coach cheating publicly on his wife is not attractive behavior to most women.

Most women who are really into the NFL are into these men. They likely see it as a hall pass situation. It is not going to make them lose female fans. GTFO.

They’re all vain and immature jersey chasing bimbos hoping to bag a rich athlete. When they don’t, they just whore around with players and execs. This reporter married a her words “totally average” corporate drone dweeb when she was nearly 40 years old. -vs- Samantha Ponder (google her) who bagged a rich quarterback her first few years on the job.

No woman is watching for the wholesomeness of the players or coaches. Get real. Have you ever watched an NFL game?

Women being into football is phony woke nonsense. I don’t know a single woman in real life who is genuinely into football. Going to games, doing the attention-seeking dress up tailgating entertainment spread for social media photos? Sure. Actually caring about football? Not a chance. Women don’t play youth football, there’s no foundational reason for them to understand the game or care.

I mean. Good for her? She was able to have fun experiences with hot, athletic men. Honestly it sounds like you're jealous.

Because she’s using sex to advance in her job, and also cheating on her spouse. What does he gain from this? She clearly wants the scoop.

This wouldn't be possible if the men weren't willing to cheat/could keep it in their pants. Once again, why does all responsibility lie on the woman to maintain propriety? Hey jocks, if a female reporter invites you to her hotel room: Just Say No.

The problem is she won’t be taken seriously in her field if she’s sleeping with everyone to get the scoop. So good for her to lose the respect of her colleagues, readers, family and peers? She’s a failure professionally and personally. He is just failing on a personal level.

Having affairs has probably not hurt her career at all. This is a different playing field, literally.
