NFL policy says that all credentialed media get access to the locker rooms after games. Someone working the Jaguars-Colts game in Indianapolis on Sunday violated that policy, keeping three female reporters out because of their gender.
Graham Watson of Yahoo Sports, Joey Chandler of the Tuscaloosa News and Katie McInerney of the Tulsa World all said someone working at the stadium kept them out of a locker room after the game. They were detained for a few minutes before a Jaguars staffer let them in.
The women took to their Twitter accounts to describe their ordeal.

As the news spread around Twitter, some people were outraged while others asked if male reporters were allowed in female locker rooms. It’s a point I haven’t thought of before. I myself have been inside of male locker rooms after covering NBA games and have seen several naked or half naked players but I never thought about if it was the other way around…
