Lanita Thomas might beg to differ.
I wanna puke when I hear “Legend” attached to these fat-cat players. What’s so magical about being taller than the basket.
“[Johnson] directed Ms. Thomas to regularly squeeze his Red Vines to make sure they were soft and ready to eat.”
So that’s what it’s being called now...the much-maligned chicken is off the hook.
When boys grow into physical maturity playing games and getting paid millions to do it, they essentially remain boys - without the innocence. There are, of course, some fine men among professional sports but even the most ardent fan needs a moment to think of one or two. The thugs and maturation retarded seem to be the rule. Spending precious time following who chased the ball the best is beyond me; I’ve got stuff to do.
I can’t stand Magic. I’m a big Michigan State University fan and remember their 1979 championship. For most of my life he was a big hero.
Then he started pushing obamacare. He obviously knows nothing about it but he says he has to stick up for obama due to race(!). What a fool.
I think magic should lose all of his comanies due to age discrimination—worse than racial discrimination that got sterling in trrouble!
Magic Johnson? I seem to remember something about him and thug ball.... Oh ya, wasn’t he the thug ball player that got aids from dipping his johnson (or having someone else dip their johnson) where it wasn’t supposed to be?
Since he got aids I guess his johnson wasn’t so magic after all.
His jet, his rules. Wonder what her employment contact says. If it says she can be let go without cause, she doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on. Even without that (fairly routine) contact language she is going to have a very tough time proving beyond reasonable doubt what his motivations were. She probably filed the suit hoping for a quick and quiet settlement (legal shakedown) and he decided to call her bluff.
Magic Johnson is the Magic Negro. . . . #2. Zero is #1.
I'm not a fan of "discrimination" laws. It's his plane, if he wants to have his stewardesses all be 18 year old blond cheerleaders, that should be his business.
I do not care for Magic Johnson and if the story is true, he is a bit of a heel, but it is his jet and he can hire or fire who he wants I would think.
Hi jet, his choice. Mind you, I have ZERO respect for this AIDS infested, whore millionaire ex-basketball player, but he has the right to hire and fire based on whatever criteria he so desires. None of my business either way.
We need pics to determine guilt or innocence.
Sounds like he treated her like a slave? Where did he make all his money other than charities? He was near bankruptcy when he left the league.
Magic owes me money due to income inequity.
We all know Johnson will end up owning the team.
All this his jet his employee platitudes in no wat detracts that he can’t be criticized for it or sued if unlawful termination
Freepers...normally not business owners....think those of us in business act like fiefdoms and can address any issue through laizzes faire (sic) freedom
It doesn’t work that way
