(CBS/AP) The NFL is looking into how a female television reporter was treated at New York Jets practice Saturday.

Ines Sainz, a reporter for Mexico's TV Azteca doing a story on quarterback Mark Sanchez, had footballs thrown in her direction by a Jets coach during practice, and players later called out to her in the team's locker room.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday that the league and the Jets began looking into the situation when they were made aware of it Saturday night.

Sainz tweeted in Spanish that she felt "very uncomfortable!'' and that she was in the Jets locker room waiting to interview Sanchez while trying "not to look anywhere!!"

Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum called Joanne Gerstner, a board member of the Association for Women in Sports Media, on Sunday to discuss the matter. The two organizations were working to schedule an educational and awareness session with the team, according to Jets spokesman Bruce Speight.

Speight added that he also addressed the situation at the team meeting Sunday in advance of New York's season opener against Baltimore on Monday night at the New Meadowlands Stadium.

Sainz, a former pageant queen contestant, is known for stealing the show at media day events, according to the Bleacher Report.

Earlier Sunday, the Jets issued a statement, saying owner Woody Johnson spoke to Sainz on Sunday to discuss the incident.

"He stressed to Ines that he expects all members of the Jets organization to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times," the statement said.

The team also said it would work with the league to gather facts and "take any appropriate steps necessary to maintain a respectful environment for the media."

The AWSM said in a statement Sunday night that both the NFL and the Jets were "responsive to our concerns" and that it would continue to monitor the situation.

"We are awaiting the results of the investigation," the statement read, "and further action from the NFL and Jets."

All I can say is that is the best pair of (jeans) I've seen in quite some time. What a surprize the players noticed!

OK look at her with her breasts half exposed and they are all undressing and then she wants to cry harassment. She was in a mens locker room so who is where they shouldnt be? I just saw her for a second to be interviewed on the Early Show and her blouse was all low cut and it looked like those fake puppies were going to pop out,She is just wanting her 15 mins fame. I think they need to just tell her to get lost. Leave those men alone. Females need to learn that boys will be boys and that was all harmless. Im so sick of these stupid women ruining it for us other females that like to be flirted with.

just like katie couric burned everyone around her to get where shes at this woman will fall to the bottom of the barrell just like katies evening news.Maybe if Katie would expose her bust and butt she'd rise in the ratings.Give her a call katie and get some pointers you tried everything else.

If you have ever been around hispanic women they all like to dress like hookers and will do whatever to get what they want.What does anyone expect in a MENS locker room.Shes trying to further her career by doing anything to get attention.Shes harassing the men by dressing with her breasts hanging out but hey in Mexico shes just another easy woman.Every team in the country ought to ban her and all females until after time to regroup and then do interviews in an assigned area.The owner of the Jets is a wimp for dogging his players.Its his team get the women out of the locker room or hey maybe let men into the wnba locker room immediatley after a game or the lpga do they allow male reporters in the locker rooms before the female players shower and prepare themselves?Kick her out of the country and we will all be better off.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

THE INTERVIEW?

SHE HAS HER BREASTS ALL EXPOSED! A MINI SKIRT ON! BARELY COVERS HALF HER THIGH!

NOW LOOK AT THE INTERVIEWER!

LONG SKIRT TO HER KNEES AND NO BREAST SHOTS.

THIS IS PROSTITUTE VERSES PROFFESSIONAL REPORTER.


P.S. Her looker room incident, she also DID NOT bother to button ALL of the buttons on the shirt, she WON'T BE SUING SHE CAN'T!

LMFAO!!!

I would love to see that! Her dumb ass in court shirt NOT buttoned up all the way!

Seriously all of the Jets players in the looker room need to sue her for exposing her **** aka breasts her sexual objects that she clearly has a need to show off 100% of the time. Jets players you have lots of money take this wh0re to court and sue her for exposing herself to you in your locker room!

[nolans5]

If you were to research her past you would probably find a sexually active 12-13 yo girl thats grown into a seductress and managed to screw her way to a reporters job so she could do just what shes doing.Like most mexicans she wants something for nothing and poor pitiful her.How many american women bust into a mexican soccer teams locker room?

[Jwddavis]

LMFAO, they called her a 'professional' reporter, sorry she doesn't dress professionally she is NOT a professional!

[Jwddavis]

She dresses like a prostitute then complains that people notice her as one.

Just look at the CBS interview, 3 top bottons NOT buttoned up aka showing her breasts off while complaining about ppl treating her as a sexual object, talk about being a hippocrite!

She is doing this for fame to further her career that is the problem and she dresses like a prostitute and whines when treated like one.

Dress like a proffessional get treated like one!

Do you see any news anchor women showing there breasts off???

NO, and you WON'T see a news anchor woman with 3 top buttons NOT bottoned up, I should sue CBS for the sexual harrassement Ines SAinz is causing to me with her uncensored sex objects, aka breasts.

[Jwddavis]

The ENTIRE jets team needs to sue her for sexual harrassment, coming into a MALE locker room.

I am sure if I walked into a female locker room I would be arrested.

This makes me mad. Women don't belong in men's locker rooms, and if it is necessary, then dress appropriately.

This reporter went in there wearing tight pants and her shirt was unbuttoned so much it nearly exposed her breasts. Even in the picture above has her shirt unbuttoned so low, has on a short skirt and strikes a sexy pose. I realize that she was a model and was in some of the top beauty pagents, but she also needs to change her mentality and behavior now that she has changed careers.

Just because a man is a professional athlete does not change the fact he may get sexually aroused by seeing a beautiful woman dressed scanitly. Maybe they should have kept the comments to themselves, but she should could have also prevented this. So to me, this woman is not so innocent Women know we can attract men by the way we dress, so she should have dressed more professionally.

In a nut shell, if a woman dresses like a sex object, she should expect to be treated as one and should not complain if men respond that way. I don't care if you are a supermodel, a movie star, a cheerleader or works at Hooters. Your manner of dress and your behavior say more about you than your profession - its called character.

Like I said at the beginning, women reporters don't belong in a men's locker rooms. So perhaps in the future women will think twice about going in there and make other arrangements for the interview and also not dress like ******.
