Storm has a boss (or bosses). If the producers of her show, or the executives at ESPN, had a problem with her wardrobe it would change. The idea that "she doesn't get it" seems a bit naive. She is not hte only player in this bit of Kabuki theatre.
I would agree with that completely if you substituted the word journalist for spotscaster/broadcaster. However, ESPN does not have journalists, they have entertainers. Even the ones who began as journalists learned if they wanted to stay with ESPN they would have to be entertainers first.
