A woman filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday accusing James L. Dolan, the entertainment and sports mogul behind Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks, of pressuring her into unwanted sex and then coordinating an encounter with Harvey Weinstein, whom she accused of sexually assaulting her.

If she has proof, this could be the beginning of the end for Dolan! Would Silver ban him and force him to sell?

Croft was hired to work as a massage therapist for the Eagles while on tour in 2013. Dolan, whose band was opening for the Eagles, booked a massage with the then-27-year-old and allegedly dragged Croft to a couch and forced her between his legs. Despite her “adamant” resisting and claims she did not want a sexual relationship, Dolan allegedly pressured her into sex. The Madison Square Garden owner then “summoned” Croft to his room multiple times while on tour and, according to court documents, “she felt obligated to submit to sex with him.”

I wonder how something like that would work considering Dolan owns MSG and the network. I’m not an expert so I won’t speculate.

I'll wait til the facts are presented here, but seeing Harvey Weinstein's name involved is alarming.

It could have been worse. She could have been forced to have to listen to his music...

Dolan hates Knicks fan so much that he will sell the team to Trump

Translation, the money was too good to pass up at the time? She didn't feel obligated to quit? She didn't feel obligated to file charges immediately? I hate taking this stance but, these are legit questions.

She was 27, that's nearly 30. She couldn't decide whether or not she wanted to have sex with her boss? This is nonsense.

Had he fired her for refusing, she would have a very strong wrongful termination case and would make tons of money.

This reeks of someone looking for money.
