Eagles’ Jordan Mailata Champions ‘Ladies First’ in Interview Interruption
Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata recently made headlines for his respectful reminder of a “ladies first” policy during a locker room interview. The veteran player interrupted a question from NBC Sports’ John Clark to ensure that a female journalist was given the opportunity to speak.
Jordan Mailata’s Respectful Gesture
As reporters gathered before the Eagles’ upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, Mailata intervened humorously. He interrupted Clark, stating, “Sorry, we’re gonna go ladies first.” This lighthearted moment occurred during a video shared by WIP-FM Radio reporter Devan Kaney, highlighting Mailata’s commitment to inclusivity in the locker room.
A Joking Interruption
The players and media present laughed as Mailata joked about noticing the reaction from the female journalists. He remarked, “The girls looked at me as soon as you talked, and I thought, ‘Oh, s—. They’re all looking.’ I’m gonna stand my ground.” The female journalist was then able to ask her question regarding A.J. Brown’s comments about his role in the Eagles’ offense.
A.J. Brown’s Role in the Eagles Offense
- Mailata emphasized the need for the offensive line to focus on blocking and protection.
- He acknowledged Brown’s feelings, saying, “I don’t think A.J.’s wrong.”
- The Eagles currently hold a 7-2 record, vying to be the first NFC East team to win back-to-back division titles in 20 years.
Meanwhile, A.J. Brown has expressed dissatisfaction about his involvement in the offense through social media and interviews. He stated, “It’s been week after week…sometimes we’re not contributing.” Brown’s comments signal a desire for more input as the season progresses.
As the Eagles prepare for their game against the Lions, the team aims to address these concerns and maintain their competitive edge. The lighthearted moment from Mailata serves as a reminder of the importance of mutual respect and camaraderie within the team.
