During a report in a game on Monday night, Fandyol Sports Network Brewze reporter Wali Blard received some reaction to a woman for her phone number.
But not everyone was inappropriate to Bellard’s actions, including experienced sideline reporter Olivia Harlan Decker.
Legendary Broadcaster Kevin Harlan’s daughter and NBA player Sam Decker’s wife said the Blard incident was being blown up in proportion.

Some of the critics of Bellard’s actions were surprised to find out what would have happened if a female sideline reporter did.
Harlan Decker spoke of the experience.
The first post of Harlan Decker states, “People are going crazy about the brave reporter that the girl’s phone number is crazy.” It does not go away from the game or season. Lighten

“I’ve been a team reporter, and the weather is long. Producers always find ways to include fans or show some human interest around the game. Most of these interviews are very good, with a sense of humor and good on it.
He explained, “If a woman can give an example of dismissing anything like anything, you have found an argument.” “Until then … you just can’t say that” a woman was fired for her.

“In the middle of the first season baseball game on regional/team broadcasts, his producer asked him to get something colorful in the crowd, his booth was walking on it, the girl was playing in it and it was not weird. This is a sports TV, it’s fun! It was a board room.”
During his direct class, Ballard said the broadcast booth wants to get two women’s phone numbers.
“I am serious, they are now saying in my ear,” Blard said on Air, talking to both Broadcast Booth and women about their phone numbers. “She doesn’t believe me because she thinks you are doing this. I am going to use it in the future. In fact, this is a great move. I should have thought about this year ago,”
This class was quickly defeated on social media, though the same thought with people began to think as Harlan thinks.
An X account states that this segment has shown “crazy double standards in sports”, while another retaliation went deep.
“This is the most stupid thing and stupid grief. For the other person, anger when you do not know the whole conversation or how they feel about it. You do not know what to say before and after the class and what was done,” The post said.

Danny Surk, a reporter for the Arizona Cardinals team, also gave his views.
“So, are we still asking women in sports if they are doing their job only to today’s athletes? We can all agree that it is inappropriate and dirty, it is not to mention double standards, okay?”
Harlan Decker is an NFL reporter and Sky Sports and Westwood One Sports.
