Isaih Thomas: Guilty or Innocent of Sexual Harassment?


Isaih Thomas, coach of the New York Knicks was found guilty of sexually harassing a former team executive Anucha Browne Sanders. She was awarded $11.6 million in damages, but did not have Thomas pay any punitive damages. Was Thomas guilty or not? He probably was guilty and harassed many other people in the organization but never got caught. He should be fired for his actions.

On the other hand, if Thomas is innocent, then it is a shame that Sanders is awarded all this money for all the incorrect reasons. He pleads that he is innocent and he tells the media that the jury’s decision was incorrect and plans to appeal the verdict. He will fight this to the end and will continue to focus his career on the New York Knicks. He says the truth will come out and he never sexually harassed Sanders, he is innocent.

In my opinion, Isaih Thomas is probably telling the truth, because I do not feel he would jeopardize his coaching job. Also Sanders has claimed sexually harassment in another organization before this time. I feel she has some mental issues and needs to be in the limelight. She does not deserve the pay out of $11.6 million. She should does not want to work and that is the bottom line.
