| 4th October, 2007 - 8:47 am |  New York Times - Madison Square Garden is not finished fighting sexual harassment charges.
On Tuesday, it lost a case brought against Isiah Thomas, the Knicks? coach and team president, by a fired top executive. A federal jury in Manhattan ordered the Garden and its chairman, James L. Dolan, to pay the executive, Anucha Browne Sanders, $11.6 million in punitive damages for sexually discriminating against her. Looming is a possible second trial, one with similarities to the Browne Sanders case.
In a lawsuit filed nearly three years ago, Courtney Prince, 29, the former captain of the Rangers City Skaters, the team?s cheerleading squad, sued the Garden and two of the team?s employees for sexual harassment and retaliation by firing her and then smearing her reputation.
If the Garden follows the same strategy it used against Browne Sanders, it will refuse to settle, and an even more salacious lawsuit will be sent into the maelstrom of public opinion. [READ] |
