Erin Andrews and the Peeper
A voyeur has secretly shot a video through a hotel room peephole of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews when she was undressed and that has some sports bloggers and radio talk show yakkers yukking it up and dismissing it as a “boys will be boys” type of thing with a beautiful woman who is marketed, in part, using her good looks.
And so the always-quick-to-pat-itself-on-the-back-for-its -family-values Fox News Channel and the sensationalist New York Post, both of which ran photos taken from the video. Each place bars placed strategically to protect itself legally, but still show as much of Andrews as possible.
But the dismissers and the purveyors here are wrong. This was a crime.
And with the help of ESPN, Andrews and her attorneys are working with authorities to catch whoever put the video of her naked body on the web. Under legal threat, the video has been deleted now.
But the damage that already has been done. Andrews privacy has been invaded
This was a sexual assault.

ALL THIS IS AND EVER WAS was FILLER FOR THE SLOWEST SPORTS PERIOD OF THE YEAR. WHO CARES ABOUT IT? SHE IS AN AIRHEAD AND though IT CLEARLY WAS INVASIVELY WRONG TO HAPPEN - STOP TALKING / WRITING / BLOGGING / FEATURING all of this. ESPN HAS CREATED A SPORTS NEWS MONSTER THAT IS DEPLORABLE. THEY ARE 2-faced AS IN THE BEN-RAPE REFUSAL TO AIR THAT STORY LINE. JUST GIVE US THE BOX SCORES AND SHUT UP

So let me get this straight. Since she is attractive and does sports reporting she suddenly is not a ‘real’ journalist? Are you people kidding me? Her privacy has been invaded and whoever did it should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The ‘she asked for it as she is pretty theroy’ makes me vomit. Yes she is a beautiful woman, who reports on sports, how is that wrong? Pretty women like sports and can report on it and do not deserve to be villified for it.

assault? They should be prosecuted, but assault? And to Rush; look-at-me is part of her job. But it’s look-at-me-with-my-clothes-on. She has a right to privacy. And she’s not a journalist, she’s a reporter.

I would like to know why the DDN is censoring my comments when they are NOT offensive. I charitably responded to some of Mr. Archdeacon’s weaker arguments yesterday, and the comments were up on this thread all day. Today, however, they’ve been summarily removed. Are DDN’s reporters above criticism? Why on earth were my comments removed?

You self-righteous liberal hypocrite. You ramble on about how Erin look-at-me was wronged. But you’d be first to check her out if that tape was on the net. Comparing this air head to real journalists is an insult. Her and her money chasing lawyer are pissed because she’s not getting big bucks for flashing some skin.

This is absolutely a violation of Erin Andrews’ privacy and the violater should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It is my opinion, however, that women have no m
