Erin Andrew recently sat down for an interview with HuffPost Live, where she talked about critics. She is quoted as follows, as reprinted by Us Weekly:
"I think it's hilarious when people have a problem with, 'Oh she's wearing this, she's got hair extensions.' It's so funny to me that people are so worried about what I'm doing or care about how I look, and I'm working out. We have the best-looking guys at Fox. Michael Strahan, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Terry Bradshaw ... They work out all the time. Beautiful men wearing beautiful clothes. And nobody says anything about that. That's the only time I get salty...I think, unfortunately, in our industry, it happens way too much. I don't think it's only our industry. … In offices, what I do for a living, you see other women going after other women, and it's like, 'Wait, can't we just support each other for a minute?'"
On whether or not she feels pressure:
"Oh God, every single game, every single practice, every single time I go on television working sports, absolutely. I put so much [more] pressure on now than I ever have in my life. … I went to Fox to work the NFL, and I knew I wanted to work with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, and thankfully I got a job. … This is what I'm obsessed with doing. I left a place where I was for eight years and knew all the coaches, knew all the story lines, and I threw myself in the NFL, and I've put more pressure on myself than ever before. [Now I'm] working in the biggest and best sport. Because I love it. I love the pressure. The way I'm able to get better is when I have all that pressure on me."
