Your stories are poorly written and often time carry factual inconsistencies. You are just another reason why I believe that women should not be able to cover male dominated sports. You are unprofessional and come across as arrogant, which is very unwelcome when it comes to reading and hearing about sports. I hope your services will be short lived and I wouldnt be surprised if they were. Steve Jenni Carlson,

Prior to reading the report regarding the White Sox blow up doll incident I had no idea female reporters were allowed in men's locker rooms. This is absolutely an invasion of privacy. I understand the reasoning behind women being allowed in the men's locker rooms, equal access regardless of gender, and as such I believe all reporters must abstain from entering the men's locker rooms to level the playing field. However, at this time I believe the most egregious issue is the lack of personal privacy in the men's locker rooms. Once this issue is resolved then we should tackle the issue of equal access regardless of gender. Best regards, Aaron D. Marr amarr@gatech.edu Ms. Jenni Carlson:
