Melissa Weishaupt, a former marketing manager for the Dallas Mavericks, wants to make her position quite clear.

On Monday, Weishaupt went on the record in an op-ed for Sports Illustrated to discuss her experiences dealing with the franchise's reported culture of sexual harrassment.

Here's an excerpt from her story:
