You gotta love Gruden. When Coach Coughlin decides to step off the sidelines, I would love to see a NY Giants cap on JG.

"While at that team, she was the subject of harassment. She chose not to report that harassment and never made a single complaint to anyone, other than talking to her friends about her life. "
This is the biggest key of all for me. If we are going to take sexual harassment seriously it HAS TO BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY. Anything less means that the attention was, at best, welcome or warranted, and at worst, ignored. Unless it is made clear that the actions taken are offensive, the "victim" loses all credibility. Favre is culpable for harassment. Sterger is equally culpable for not reporting it.
I don't hold her accountable for the situation just because she didn't report the harassment. Consider that the incident with Inez Sainz was still fresh, Sterger clearly didn't want that kind of scrutiny heaped on her. Let's face it, when it comes to sexual harassment/rape, more often than not, it's the victimized woman who is put on trial, not the offender. The woman has to defend her actions before the light is cast on the perpetrator. How is that just?
