Erin Andrews has a $55 million in her civil lawsuit over the secret recording and release of a video showing her naked in her hotel room. Michael David Barrett is the stalker who used a hacksaw to create a peephole into Andrew's room and recorded the video and photos in 2008. West End Hotel Partners, which owns and operates that Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, was found to be 49 percent at fault and asked to pay out more than $26 million.
"Sports media as we know has not always existed. Modern-day sports journalism evolved with American social trends and profit-hungry business people that changed the shape of news in general." (Malone) Around the 1850s upper class people viewed sports as a vulgar hobby. Obviously that has evolved. Baseball was the first sport to rise around 1885.
Female journalist are not treated how they should be. In class yesterday we would type in a female sports journalists name on google and the second or third search would be things like "hot" "body" "legs" It was very strange and isn't right. If I knew someone was searching up my legs or body I would feel very uncomfortable.
Sports journalist make a huge help in finding our news about sports, but for the future of them I think female sports journalist will decrease. Seeing the way they get treated by athletes and even just regular people, like Erin Andrews, its not right and they should not have to deal with it.
