Isiah Thomas needs to STFU

Isiah Thomas brilliantly explained his double standard when it came to using the word “bitch” in court yesterday.
Jurors heard the Knicks coach say he wouldn’t stand for a white man calling a black woman a “bitch” – but wouldn’t be as angry if the same words came from the mouth of a black man.
In a videotaped deposition played for the jury at fired Knicks exec Anucha Browne Sanders’ sexual harassment trial, Thomas said he drew a distinction between whites and blacks when it came to the B-word.
Asked if he was bothered by a black man calling a black female “bitch,” Thomas said: “Not as much. I’m sorry to say, I do make a distinction.”
Seems like Thomas is trying to play the race card on himself! Damn Isiah couldn’t you shown a little restraint and not say anything? Then again, this is the same guy who likes trading for awful players and taking on bloated contracts. Restraint? Never heard of it.
The funniest part of the article maybe this:
Marbury has admitted calling Browne Sanders a bitch but denied calling her a “black bitch.”
At least two jurors nodded off during the lengthy cross-examination, but perked up when the tape of Thomas, in a suit jacket with an open collar, was played.
If you’re wondering why your Cablevision bill has gone up 350%, look no further than these two assclowns.
