Lately, talk around the water cooler has been sports heavy. And not just because the Bears are 2-0. No – it’s because of the alleged verbal harassment a female reporter says she experienced while reporting inside the New York Jets’ locker room.

After an investigation, the Jets will hold an education session for players on workplace conduct.
