In addition to Sean Avery's whoring ways, this came out of the Knicks article Ol' Linguist posted in the now-defunct NBA thread:

| Soon enough, though, Isiah’s alpha-dog behavior would prove costly. In October, just a week ahead of the team’s preseason debut, a Manhattan federal jury found in favor of former marketing executive Anucha Browne Sanders in her sexual-harassment suit against Thomas and the Knicks. After exposing the Garden as an overaged frat house (where Ranger execs allegedly kept a Kama Sutra wish list for various cheerleaders), the trial torpedoed the defendants in a pair of video depositions. There was Dolan in his best black T-shirt, rolling his shaggy head like a caged grizzly, haughty and dismissive but creepy most of all. And there was Thomas with his lesson on race and gender: that it would be “highly offensive” for a white man to call a black woman a “bitch,” but “not as much” for a black man to do the same. |
