TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Ticker) - North Carolina State football coach Chuck Amato made a sexist remark to a female reporter during a halftime interview Saturday. Amato was leaving the field at Doak Campbell Stadium with his team tied with Florida State, 10-10, when he was stopped by ABC sideline reporter Suzie Shuster, who asked a pair of questions.

Shuster's second question was, "What are you seeing in their offense that you can attack?" "You," Amato replied.

Is she hot? Reminds me of Joe Namath wanting to make out with Suzy Kolber a couple of years ago on the sidelines.

I have no clue. I just hope this is the latest nonsense that the media devours.

I just read this. I have never heard of her prior to reading this article.

We should just stop talking to people. So many are so sensative. I guess if we went mute though, it would be "he's looking at me."

Imagine if he has to go to sensitivity training courses for this?

Shuster's second question was, "What are you seeing in their offense that you can attack?" "You," Amato replied.

What? How is that sexist? Maybe if she said "boink" instead of "attack".

OH My!What a horrible thing to say.
Amato should realize that he`s probably ruined that poor girls life. Hope some good fema fool tells her so she knows.

I'll take a stab at this. Sexism used to be the belief that women were inferior per se. Now, apparently, it means being rude to a woman.

Exactly my first question, too. Sounds like it could just be an anti-media remark by a coach who didn't want to deal with a reporter at the moment. A dumb, hostile comment perhaps, but not necessarily sexist. A lot of coaches are snarly toward male reporters. If the gals want to be treated like equals, they can expect some of that snarliness, too.
