(NSFW) Rex Ryan may have a foot fetish. Why are they bothering him with this?

I read a news article on a sports website that the head coach of the NY Jets may have a foot fetish. Why is the media giving him so much trouble with this. They kept asking him about it and he kept saying that it is a personal matter and he refused to discuss it. Yet they kept asking him about it anyways. It was like they could care less about asking him about football or the Jets. Why must the media meddle in his personal life so much. Why are they judging him like so badly. I have a thing for feet and this makes me feel terribly self conscious about it. I do not feel like there is anything wrong with Rex Ryan, me, or anyone else who likes feet.
How would these people like it if they had everything they did in the bedroom made public and was expected to answer for it. Nobody should be tormented like that.
