Was this "reporter" harassed?

Was Ines Sainz sexually harassed during a New York Jets game?  So asks Sarah at BlogHer. 

When Ines Sainz went to New York to interview the quarterback for the Jets she got more of a story than she bargained for. Sainz complained that one of the assistant coaches seemed to be throwing balls at her on the sidelines, and once she went into the locker room, several Jets player made inappropriate comments towards her. Clearly this is wrong, right? The poor innocent sports journalist was just minding her own business trying to get an interview, right?

This is what Ines Sainz wore to the football game.

These are her football shoes.

It appears to this sexist, dirty old man that when you dress like you are going to a disco and you enter a locker room full of young men, what do you expect.  I know she is a reporter for a Mexican TV station, so she does have some journalist credibility, But come on, she was obviously trying to get attention.

Read the entire blog piece, and you decide.  Who besides me thinks that she was in no way "harassed"?
