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.

ISIAH THOMAS GETS TO SEXUALLY HARASS FOR FREE
by BOHChris, Blog of Hilarity
After the thrill-a-minute ride that has been the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment suit, a verdict has been rendered and Isiah is so guilty, but Madison Square Garden will pay the price to Anuncha Browne Sanders.
A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a top team executive, subjecting the married mother of three to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults.
But the jury also ruled that Thomas does not have to pay punitive damages to the women, giving him a partial victory after an ugly, three-week trial.
The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and ruled that MSG should have to pay her punitive damages.
Say what you want about Isiah. You can even call him Mr. Grabby Hands. But there's one thing you can't take away from him: He sure has a tremendous skill in having MSG and the Knicks pay for his transgressions.
At least we'll no longer have to hear about the sordid sexual desires of Isiah Thomas. Until reports come out of him dressing Zach Randolph in a wig and pelting him with basketballs while Isiah masturbates and shouts "YOU TAKE THAT RICK MAHORN!"
Anyway, I can't blame Isiah. When a foxy babe with a hot name like Anuncha is around, what man can control himself? Nothing gets me want to reenact Disclosure more than a girl built like Grape Ape who is so hopelessly incompetent at her job. Bad basketball GMs ... so like us.
