A QUOTE

A radio station in Baltimore linked me publicly to a player that I?ve had maybe maybe maybe three conversations with and never saw outside of the locker room.? Total head-scratcher and completely hurtful and wrong on so many levels? And people start to believe that BS, which is sad an despicable. I can honestly say I have obtained some breaking news about a player and kept it to myself in fear of there being a rumor started. How sad is that? So I guess I can actually answer your question, as a whole, NO we are not respected. And shame on the individuals to start false rumors about women who are simply trying to do their job.

ANOTHER QUOTE

You?ve been called a controversial figure. Why do you think that is?

Because I have an opinion and I?m not afraid to voice it. If I disagree with you, I will tell you so with absolutely no fear. I will always defend what I believe in and I will never back down from an argument if I feel strongly about the subject matter. I also don?t take crap from anyone. If you want to insult or question my work or my character, prepare to be counter-attacked.

I also think social media has gotten out of control in ways that can only get worse for society. For example, anyone can start a twitter account and tell you that your mother is a whore or they can start ?Joe?s Sports Blog? and find every mistake you?ve ever made in your career and dedicate a page to how much Joe thinks you suck. And both are out there for the world to see. Yet, if Joe found five of my mistakes out of 100 appearances, nobody will find the other 95 and start a blog about how great you are. It?s disgusting and in my opinion, female sports reporters get the bulk of the nastiness because we are easy targets. I have a lot of female friends who are sports reporters and if we got together and exposed the hate and filth that has been sent to us on a regular basis, you would be appalled and ashamed of your gender. At some point, the hate has got to stop. I know I can?t change the world, but if I can tell one smart-ass kid who?s tweeting from his mom?s basement to grow up, get some class and stop contributing to what has become such a negative society we all live in, I will.

FUNNY QUOTE

Are you now where you want to be in your career? Or do you have further aspirations and goals?

I am. I am. I am currently in detox from my two-year Baltimore experience and finally taking a little time off for myself.

QUOTE ABOUT FELLOW REPORTERS HATRED

I got a text message from a fellow sports reporter that read, ?Heard (Jane Doe) turned down the NESN job that you didn?t get. But hope your campaign works out.? And that quote came from a 25 something year old.

What a wombat.

[clapdiddy]

Yeah...I think Baltimore might need to detoxify from the stench of her residency here!

[IHeartMASN]

A truly awful human being. Boston deserves her.

[Moose Milligan]

There aren't many media members I can't stand...she's at the top of the list, it's not even close.

[Pedro Cerrano]

There's something so fascinating about this person. She absolutely confuses me. How can anyone have achieved what she has all the while being so incredibly dense? It's amazing.

[McLovin]

I think I'm pretty connected with sports and sports media, but I have no idea who she is. If it weren't for posts here, I would be completely oblivious to her existence.

[Arthorn]

Its pretty funny she thinks she wasn't respected because she's a woman... Not because she's a terrible reporter.

For me, I live my life by the motto, ?Go big or go home.? And let?s be honest, people are going to judge me without knowing a thing about me or my life regardless?So I may as well give them the truth.

Boy, those quotes above differ so much from....

She kinda hints at it in the article. She flirted with some guy who worked with the Yankees and she was on her way!

You're probably right.... but I bet she did have to put up with a lot of internet crap that focused on her gender instead of her ability, so I can understand why she might think that way.

I would be interested to hear if Britt Ghiroli says she has to put up with a lot of crap based on her gender.

I think she was being criticized because she was bad at her job, but you saw how some of her Twitter conversations went - I'm sure lots of those arguments degenerated into name-calling and sexist stuff. She probably brought 90% of it on herself, but I bet it still happened.

There's no doubt that Jen's gender was unfortunately used as a weapon against her once things hit the fan. She thinks her gender was the root cause of the problems, but in reality it was just used as a way to attack her because she was unliked for other reasons. That's how I see it anyway.

There are few things in life I hate more than the person who is a rude jerk and hides behind the "I just tell it like it is" nonsense. You can tell it like it is perfectly well without being a horse's rear about it.
