ISIAH THOMAS WORKS FOR NASCAR?

by GMoney, The Money Shot

The sporting world seems to be polluted with more bad press than usual this week. You've got Cedric Benson's heart-warming saga. The Lakers and Celtics trying to whine their way to another title. Roger Clemens snorting up all the boner-inducing dust that he can get his hands on. And we all have an opinion regarding Tim Donaghy's "fixed games" allegations. But there is a story that has flown under the radar this week. A story which, has already happened mind you, and gripped the country (kind of). It almost makes you wonder if, under the dark of night, Zeke was hired by this major company to destroy it from within.

NASCAR is being sued by a former employee for pretty much every allegation known to man.

From Yahoo!:
Mauricia Grant filed a $225 million suit against NASCAR on Tuesday, alleging racial discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliatory termination. Grant, who is black, worked as a technical inspector for NASCAR's second-tier Nationwide Series.

Whoa. That's a spicy meatball. I applaud NASCAR for hiring a black woman considering their stereotype of being run by old white men. But this doesn't look good at all. They can't actually fight this. They have to settle, don't they? I'm no Roger Cossack but I'm pretty sure that a league with the kind of squeaky clean image that NASCAR has formed does not want a bunch of dirty laundry coming out in the courts.

Unfortunately, typical people (myself included) are sitting around thinking that this is the norm. This is what people from the South do. They are ignorant. They don't know any better. The sport of racing isn't known as one that transcends to all races and socioeconomic backgrounds anyway. Either way, NASCAR needs to squash this story before it blows up in their faces...

That was not a Dick Trickle metaphor either.
