TV reporter Ines Sainz says she "never felt attacked" during visit to New York Jets' training facility now under investigation.
Mexican television reporter Ines Sainz has told the New York Post that she "never felt attacked" by Jets coach Rex Ryan and one of his assistants, Dennis Thurman, when she visited the team's New York training facility for a story on quarterback Mark Sanchez.The Jets, who host Baltimore at 7 tonight in the season opener for both teams, are investigating the incident, as is the NFL.Knockout TV correspondent Ines Sainz claimed Jets head coach Rex Ryan, one of his assistants and some of the team's players allegedly pestered her with goofy, on-field antics and locker-room catcalls.
But in an interview with Mexican TV station DeporTV today, Sainz said she never felt offended and that the whole situation was taken out of context.
"In my opinion, I never felt attacked, nor that they reacted grossly toward me," she said. "I arrived in the locker room and there were comments and games. One of the other reporters came up to me and apologized for what was happening, but I thought [the players] were joking around."
