A player had a problem with Andrea for being in the locker room. The same player did not have a problem with myself or any of the other male reporters in there. He singled out Andrea because of her gender.
Does he have the right to feel uncomfortable? Yes. Does Andrea have the right to be in there? As long as the locker rooms are open to reporters, yes.
If a player is uncomfortable for whatever reason, he has recourse he can take. He can go to a coach or another person of authority or he can go to a team PR person, which is probably the best recourse, since their job is to deal with the media.
What he should not do is confront the reporter and put his hands on said reporter. Marcos Gonzalez did, and that's wrong.
