KC Wizards Soccer 'It's Dirty'

(Do you like dirty balls to the chest?)

The Kansas City Star has the story of some alleged sexual harassment happening within the halls of the MLS team's headquarters.

Kathryn Carver filed the lawsuit late Monday in Jackson County Circuit Court against the Major League Soccer team’s ownership group, OnGoal LLC; Greg Cotton, executive vice president and general counsel for OnGoal; and Robert Thomson Jr., the company’s vice president for marketing and communications.

Among the allegations in the suit:

•Cotton and Thomson would review the Facebook and MySpace sites of prospective female employees to determine whether they were “hot enough” to be hired.

•Cotton allegedly said of one employee, “She is the dumbest person I have ever met, but she is worth keeping around for the scenery.”

•Male employees held “drafts” of young female employees with whom they would want to have sex.

•During a team-sponsored trip to Las Vegas, Thomson told Carver she was “hot,” complimented her physical attributes and said he wanted to have sex with her, she alleged.


After Carver complained about the harassment to other company officials, a memo was distributed threatening employees with termination if they communicated with outside lawyers about OnGoal’s employment practices and other issues, the suit alleges.

I'm no lawyer but I don't see a case here. It's clear that the Wizards compliment female employees,keep some of them on staff even though they can't do their jobs,do background checks via the internets and take them to Vegas. Case dismissed!
