Isiah Thomas Found Liable in Sexual Harrassment Case

Link

"In an end to a salacious three-week trial, a jury ordered the owners of the New York Knicks to pay $11.6 million to a former team executive who endured crude insults and unwanted advances from coach Isiah Thomas.

The jury of four women and three men found Thomas and Madison Square Garden sexually harassed Anucha Browne Sanders, but it decided only MSG and chairman James Dolan should pay for harassing and firing Browne Sanders from her $260,000-a-year job out of spite.

The result: The Garden owes $6 million for condoning a hostile work environment and $2.6 million for retaliation. Dolan owes $3 million. Though Thomas is off the hook for any damages, he leaves the case with a tarnished image."

    Now there is some hope for Knicks fans -- the sooner they are rid of Isiah, the better. However, because dumb-ass Dolan was involved as well, it may not happen.

    If possible, the NBA should force a sale of the team to competent ownership -- the Knicks are an embarassment to the NBA now.

    What about that poor b@stard who lost his job for doing the right thing and confirming Browne was harassed? Hope he sues too.

    I suspected that, especially when there hasn't been stories in the Philly newspapers about Allen Iverson.
  • I found it pretty hypocritical that the NBA and David Stern won't reprimand the Knicks, when all he has done as commissioner over the past 5 years or so is absolutely drill the players on everything from dress codes on up. It's ridiculous.
