LAS VEGAS (CBSNewYork/AP) — The WNBA has been thrust into the national conversation about domestic violence and sports, and now is facing a decision involving sexual harassment.
The league is reviewing the hiring of Isiah Thomas — once the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit — as president of the New York Liberty, an announcement that caught the WNBA president off guard. The WNBA was already immersed in a domestic dispute involving All-Stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson, who were arrested two weeks ago after assaulting each other at their home.
How the premiere women’s sports league handles both is drawing interest.
