Ongoing Notes on the Death of Parody
By It’s like, how much more James Dolan could this be?
Isiah Thomas is coming back to Madison Square Garden, but this time he’s not going to ruin the Knicks.
At least not yet.
James Dolan re-hired Thomas to be the president and a part-owner of the New York Liberty, the New York WNBA team. The announcement comes eight years after a jury ruled that Thomas sexually harassed Anucha Browne Sanders, a former team executive. At the time of the ruling, the team owners were ordered to pay Browne Sanders $11.6 million.
You know, when someone found by a jury to be guilty of sexual harassment can continue to land very well-compensated jobs despite a track record of staggering ineptitude, it’s almost enough to make me think that it’s not entirely implausible that a woman could have been sexually harassed in an advertising agency in 1970.
