There will be no winner or losers. Eveyone involved loses.

crash, this is how/why public perception is so out of whack these days. You know don't Sanders from anyone and yet you have already branded her a bitch. We don't have nearly all of the information from either side and you have come to a conclusion. Care to wait until all details are out before forming an opinion?

Here is my early take.

Isiah phucked up. Maybe not sexually harrased her, but likely was openly hostile to her with language and likley aligned his team and staff against her.

the fact that she isnt attractive makes it even more plausable IMO. Having worked in the restaurant business its amazing how bosses and patrons harrass the less attractive. As if they should by gratefull for the attention. I see this kind of thing all the time. Hot chicks have built in defense mechanisms for dealing with this crap as they are used it.

Guy harrass the ugly ones because the attitude is they are doing them a favor. Then when they say no the guys get even more pissed because they just got shot down by an oinker.

I just saw her on Ch.2. She's tripping.

what she say? Weird that she would turn to the media. Not good for either side I think.

Nothing new was said. I'm just basing my conclusion on her demeanor in a prior interview, and that, imo, she appears to be "eminently resistable."

So that means that it's ok to sexually harrass her? Or that her claims have no merit? Or that it's ok to call her a "b*tch"?

You know, "eminently resistable" have rights too.

It means that I find her allegations less than credible.

Try confining your comments to what is actually posted rather than injecting your personal biases into every one of your posts. Remember, reading is fundamental.

I did no such thing. I just wanted to know what you meant.

So why are her allegations less credible? Because you find her to be "eminently resistable"?

IMO, yes.

the fact is *something* happened. If it didnt she wouldnt have been fired, and she wouldnt have a lawer right now. Obviously there are documented cases of her approaching HR with problems.

Perhaps it was merely because she didn't get along with people.

The lawsuit also alleges that Thomas told Browne Sanders he was pushing for more home games at noon on Sundays. His plan, according to Browne Sanders, was to have opposing players go to certain clubs, including strip clubs, that Thomas had connections with on Saturday nights and get them drunk so they would be sluggish for the game the next day.

"These fabricated and outrageous charges come from an individual whom MSG fired because of an inability to fulfill professional responsibilities and who is now seeking a financial windfall," attorney Ron Green said in a statement on behalf of Madison Square Garden. "We have always been proud of how our employees are treated, as evidenced by the fact that we have consistently taken appropriate action when employees have engaged in inappropriate behavior. We will fight these outrageous charges and defend our employees from baseless allegations intended to embarrass and harm them."
