The WNBA announced Thursday it is reviewing the decision to hire Isiah Thomas as president of the New York Liberty because the former Detroit Pistons star was once sued for alleged sexual harassment. League President Laurel J. Richie told the AP that the hire was “first and foremost a team decision, but there’s ultimate responsibility with the league and that rests in my office.” She said the league will review Thomas’s request for an ownership stake in the team as well. Thomas maintained his innocence during a 2007 sexual-harassment lawsuit by a Madison Square Guarden employee, but a jury awarded the woman $11.6 million.
