NBA Reporter Taylor Rooks Speaks On Women Being Objectified While Covering Sports (TWEETS)

If you’re not aware, Taylor Rooks is a sports journalist and broadcaster who currently appears on Bleacher Report and Turner Sports.

The NBA resumed play of the 2019-2020 season last month after a mid-season shut down in March due to COVID-19. During that time, the league, led by commissioner Adam Silver, prepared to continue the season.

Taylor Rooks made the trip and is a regular when it comes to holding interviews, doing zoom calls, and all other sports-related things.

Despite that, she still finds that people tend to look at women sports reporters vastly different than the men and it infuriated her to the point she had to call it out on Twitter.

There should be a conversation on how irresponsible it is the way people talk about women sports reporters as anything other than professionals doing their job. To be constantly devalued or framed as objects – especially the objectification of black women in the field.

This would be a great topic and it is a great topic but the talk will definitely fall on deaf eyes. Just being honest. It's not the first time the issue of female objectification has been brought up. https://t.co/ObLuocF0XQ

I don't remember ANYONE (except you) talking about female news reporters. Fake outrage over something that isn't even happening.

Show me some video clips and articles where people are hating female news reporters… I'll also be looking at the RESPONSES. https://t.co/9CJtuX4smA
