A male usher stopped three female journalists from entering the Jaguars locker room after their loss to the Colts because they were women, asking other men if it was OK before finally allowing them inside.

Graham Watson of Yahoo Sports and Joey Chandler of the Tuscaloosa News both said on Twitter on Sunday night that they were not allowed inside the locker room after Indianapolis’ 16-13 overtime win until the usher first checked to make sure the women were allowed to enter. The women were at the game as part of the Associated Press Sports Editors sports media diversity weekend.

“I was just blocked from a locker room by an old, out-of-touch geezer who wasn’t sure women were allowed because ‘you know how guys are,’” tweeted Watson. “This guy was an usher and apparently not aware that women cover sports. I about lost it.”

“I have covered male sporting events all over the world and it took coming to Indianapolis to face my first gender discrimination,” he added.

Public relations staffs from both the Colts and the Jaguars apologized to the women.

Colts spokesman Avis Roper said the usher was in an area where he didn’t know who was allowed access.

The Association for Women in Sports Media expressed disappointment at the episode. “[We are] disappointed three credentialed female media members were briefly denied access to the Jaguars locker room, by an usher, after today’s game against the Colts in Indianapolis,” it said in a statment. “Although the Colts’ staff handled the situation quickly and both teams apologized, it is unfortunate such issues continue to exist.”
