Not a workplace conduct violation?

Then the NFL is no place I'd like to work for. Turns out it was ruled that Brett Favre did not violate workplace policy when he allegedly sent "inappropriate text and phone messages, as well as photos of his genitalia" to Jenn Sterger, a former media personality for the New York Jets.

Sexual harassment in the workplace does go beyond 'quid pro quo' harassment - it also includes hostile work environment harassment. Looks like the NFL's sexual harassment policy needs to be given a serious review.

Let's stop calling it a 'scandal' and start calling it what it appears to be: sexual harassment in the workplace.
