Things that make you go hhhmmmmm......

Let me get this straight for the last time:

Larry Brown can get terminated "with cause" for talking to reporters at traffic lights, but Isiah Thomas, accused of sexual harassment inside the Garden, not only gets to keep his job, but gets another one.

What a pathetic stupid thing to say. If Thomas is proved guilty of this think of course he will be out. Brown definitely acted like a schmuck. Its not for me to say it deserves firing with cause, but to bring up Anucha, which by the way has been interestingly quiet for the last six months is just stupid and desperate.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?

Good point. The difference is one person actually did something and the other has just been accused. They are not the same things by a longshot. Of course the accusations are much more serious, but nothing has been proven. Hey Mike, we've got this funny thing in this country where you are innocent until proven guilty. You should read about it.

Brown violated his contract (perhaps only to a minor degree but in ways beyond this dumb quote suggests). Isiah did not. It's pretty simple.

Lupica, you can't fire noone just off the fact that he was accused of doing a crime.

In NY, you can get fired for any reason, as long as it's not something like racist, gender, religious, etc...

He has a point. Some teams would've pulled him from the frontlines (not necessarily fired) because of the cloud of distraction around the team when something like this happens.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Can Lupica get fired if I accuse him of being an idiot? (Rhetorical)
