Take the New York Knicks, an institution under siege from lawsuits by former employees citing an environment systematically abusive to women.

Knicks president Isiah Thomas has a few problems of his own; he's been personally accused of "demeaning and repulsive" behaviour by his former (female) vice president of marketing, who wants $6m for her troubles, all the while dealing with the revelations that he fathered a secret love childf All much more interesting than anything happening on the court itself, where the Knicks are having a fairly shite season.
