NY Jets Face Sexual Harassment ClaimSeptember 16, 2010
The New York Jets are one of the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl this year but for now they facing a claim of sexual harassment. Ines Sainz, former Miss Spain 1997, filed the claim of sexual harassment against members of the Jets coaching staff including the head coach of the Jets Rex Ryan. Along with other staff members Ryan reportedly overthrew several footballs so that they landed near the reporter for Azteca TV which is a Mexican TV station that covers the NFL. About the footballs thrown in her direction Sainz said, "to be quite honest, it didn't bother me... I took it as a joke, and none of the footballs actually hit me...It was definitely a joking tone, very amicable...I wasn't offended...I was surprised to wake up on Sunday and have a call from the NFL , saying that they wanted to talk to me about what had happened at the Jets; and I asked... what happened?...And they said well there is a pretty powerful accusation of harassment and then it was at that point I realized the magnitude of what had happened."
