Wizards marketing VP sued for sexual harrassment

An example of the fine work from the marketing dept., the Kansas City Starting 11 Girls

Former Kansas City employee Kathryn Carver (no relation to Toronto FC coach John Carver) is suing Wizards oenership group OnGoal LLC for sexual harassment, identifying Greg Cotton, executive vice president and general counsel for OnGoal and Robert Thomson Jr., the company’s vice president for marketing and communications.

Wait, KC has a marketing department? (ba-dump-dump). Maybe if they weren't so busy with the ogling and the lecherous behavior, the Wizard's home attendance (9,602) wouldn't be the worst in the league.

According to the Kansas City Star:

• 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.

Should have seen this coming with marketing ideas like this "Starting 11 Girls Tryouts - Very Nice" and this "The Kansas City Wizards soccer team held a meet and greet in 2007 at the Voodoo Lounge"
