Isiah Thomas costs the Knicks again

Posted by Fired Fred on October 2, 2007 4:35 PM
I told you a couple of weeks ago that Anucha Browne Sanders was going to cash in big time in her lawsuit, where she was fired while the Knicks were investigating her sexual harassment claims.

How right was I? How about $11.6 million ways, peeps?
The result: The Garden owes $6 million for condoning a hostile work environment and $2.6 million for retaliation. Dolan owes $3 million. Though Thomas is off the hook for any damages, he leaves the case with a tarnished image.

Outside court, a beaming Browne Sanders insisted her victory was more about sending a message than the money.
Whenever they say it's not about the money, guess what? It's about the money. Unless she donates every penny of her windfall to things like domestic abuse shelters, no one's buying the "sending a message" bit.

Still, she earned it just by having to work for the Knicks. Isiah's appealing the case, but I would think he'd be busy stuffing another overpriced small forward on the Knick bench right now.
