A jury has found that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former New York Knicks executive.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
First he destroyed the CBA and now he's doing it to the Knicks (and himself). What a legacy. (Sigh)
I haven’t heard the details of this. Sexual Harassment is a tricky thing....
He shoots! He scores! He’s busted!
God forgive me, but it really couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
This man has a lot to be humble about...it is a shame he doesn’t know that.
I guess being a former “bad boy” from Detroit isn’t a virtue after all?
He should have hired Anita Hill.
Quotes of the trial:
In a videotaped deposition played for the jury at fired Knicks exec Anucha Browne Sanders’ sexual harassment trial, Thomas said he drew a distinction between whites and blacks when it came to the B-word.
Asked if he was bothered by a black man calling a black female “bitch,” Thomas said: “Not as much. I’m sorry to say, I do make a distinction.
“A white male calling a black female a bitch is highly offensive,” Thomas said. “That would have violated my code of conduct.”
“Maybe I shouldn’t go there. ... A white male calling a black female, that is wrong with me. I’m not taking that. I’m not accepting that. ... That’s a problem for me.”
The Knicks will probably give him a raise, a contract extension, and more responsibility.
For some reason he can’t screw up enough to lose this job. (He must have something on James Dolan.)
I guess being a former “bad boy” from Detroit isn’t a virtue after all?
No.......while he actually played for the Pistons both he and they kept his public image polished as the sweetie pie....he (publicly at least) was the “good” boy around detroit with the local interviews, the local radio and teevee sportscasters, etc.
And Please pick a attractive woman, this one is a dog!!
Mistrial! Its a racist jury!
What a loser. If he is not fired, he must have something on somebody.
This particular case doesn't seem very tricky to me. Read up on it - you'll be shocked at what he thought was appropriate for a business environment.
I know the Dolans are dumb, but that still doesn't explain why they didn't settle this case before it went to trial.
Uh.. You can’t be found “guilty” in a civil trial. What a bunch of morons the media are.
That isn't too hard when you have teammates that goes by the name of the "bruise brothers" or Rodman...
"And Please pick a attractive woman, this one is a dog!!"
Did you notice the irony?
Myers, go in the other room and take off all your clothes. Now stand in front of a full length mirror. Do you still want to make comments about how other people look?
Exactly, that would be liable for damages not guilty.
