In a column about the recent flap of sexual harassment of a female reporter in the New England Patriots locker room, Clarence Page named names:

Zeke Mowatt, Victor Kiam, Jack Morris and Bo Schembechler were all singled out as ”clad in nothing but sexism.”

Going all the way back to the 12-year-old federal ruling that gave female reporters the right to enter men`s locker rooms, Page left out the most famous name of all: Billy Jean King. Shortly after the federal ruling, a group of male reporters entered King`s locker room and was tossed out.

While feminists demand equality that they are not prepared to return, hundreds of men are inconvenienced by a handful of women who act aghast that a men`s locker room is a place of raunchy behavior.

Most appropriate of all, the last word in Page`s column was

”sportspersonship.” Apparently the difference between that and sportsmanship is a sense of humor.
