USA Today's Christine Brennan on the Erin Andrews Situation: "Women sports journalists need to be smart and not play to the frat house."
By Jason McIntyre
"On the Erin Andrews situation, a quick thought for those who have asked: There are hundreds of women covering sports in this country who haven’t had this happen to them. I wish it didn’t happen to Erin, but I also would suggest to her if she asked (and she hasn’t) that she rely on her talent and brains and not succumb to the lowest common denominator in sports media by playing to the frat house."
That entire message was posted on Brennan’s facebook; some of it was captured on her Twitter.
