Bitty

Erin Andrews is an extremely popular sideline reporter for ESPN, who contributes to the network year round with College football and basketball along with appearances throughout the summer at major league stadiums. With no intention of demeaning the work done by Ms. Andrews, it would be foolish to ignore the fact that she gets the big time gigs and is so popular because her target audience thinks she is a dime. And to many men there is not anything hotter than a hot girl on your television talking sports to you.

But her popularity does not come without a price. Last year while covering a Cubs game she was accused by other journalists of using her sex appeal to garner the attention of other players and steal interviews. This caused Andrews embarrassment and forced her to defend her integrity and professionalism. Well she is back in the news only this time the reason is not due to anything she may or may not have done. In a hotel room she was staying at, a hotel staffer snuck and hid a camera in there and captured footage of her changing. Before you ex out of this site to try and find the tape, I will let you know it has been practically erased from the web. Then I am going to ask you what is the big deal?

After already acknowledging that Erin Andrews is indeed a very attractive woman, I still do not understand why a guy would go to such lengths to simply see her naked. There are literally millions of hot women on earth and you can legally see them in strip clubs, smut movies, men's magazines or even a Victoria's Secret catalog. Pictures, tapes and what not are cool, I know it is sexist locker room talk amongst males- but I get it. Having these does enhance the story being told to your friends, but only to your FRIENDS! Sharing pictures and movies over the web is unimpressive, especially if you obtain the images without at least luring the girl into your own room. Basically, if you have not done the work or at least put in the effort then you have done nothing to earn what you stole. To Erin Andrews and other women who have been duped, I apologize for those loser guys. To those men who think you have earned a badge or notch on your belt, think again douche bag.

the issue, like you are saying, is one of consent.

people, mostly men, are getting off on the fact that she had no idea she was being taped. creepy.
