Perhaps I'm a bit old-fashioned and prudish, but it seems to me that, in fact, it was she that didn't hear Beathard, not the other way around.
I get the argument that women reporters make about it being a competitive disadvantage for them to not be able to get quotes from players in the locker room, but I agree with Beathard that it is simply inappropriate to allow members of the opposite sex to enter a sex-specific locker room. People will be in various stages of undress in a locker room. Reporters of the opposite sex of an athlete should just accept what is appropriate and get their interviews somewhere other than in the locker room, IMO. For her to say it was OK with her is, IMO, totally beside the point. It isn't her decision to decide that it is OK. What if some of the players would prefer privacy or feel somewhat uncomfortable being naked in front of a woman asking them questions? What about the players' wives and families preferring that women not be in their husband's/son's/father's presence when they were naked? I've never really understood that; and for players to, in turn, be held accountable for anything they may say in the locker room that might offend a woman reporter seems unfair to me. For a woman to claim to be offended that a player said something sexually suggestive or the like while she was staring at his naked body just seems bizarre, on its face. As I said, maybe I'm just old fashioned.
I also didn't understand her story about the player that told his wife that he was out on an interview with her as a cover for his adultery, asking her to confirm that, should his wife ask. How is that sexual harassment? Slimy and in poor taste? Of course. Inappropriate? Sure. I would guess that, more often than not, guys committing adultery use their male friends as their cover story, rather than a female acquaintance. That is equally slimy and inappropriate. The reporter being a woman doesn't matter in this instance, does it? Seems to me she should just have said, "Don't involve me in your family matters. I'm not going to lie to your wife." It is certainly wrong to ask such a thing of anyone of either sex, but in any case, I don't see that as being sexual harassment of the reporter.
