Two years after a workplace sexual harassment and misconduct scandal rocked the Dallas Mavericks, the organization is back in the middle of another incident. According to an investigation by Sports Illustrated, a woman, who is never an employee of the Mavericks, reported that accusations of “respecting timely behavior” backed a team executive in September 2019, more than a year after the initial scandal.
The boy in question is Tobig apple Ronzone, the team’s player staff manager. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban learned of the alleged sexual assault in an email from the accuser two months after he took position in a Las Vefuel hotel room in July 2019, when the city team was in the NBA Summer League. The huguy resource branch of the team was notified at some point thereafter. In the months that followed, the team did not introduce Ronzone and he remains with the team.
According to the Mavericks, Ronzone was not fired because “no evidence of sexual assault was presented.” However, SI’s investigation revealed evidence that the Mavericks can’t download new accounts of the incident either. A Mavericks attorney says the accuser and his lawyers “refused to file those statements with the Mavericks and us unless mandatory conditions were agreed, conditions that went far beyond the security of the identity of the people who executed the affidavits or affidavits.”
Cuban also seemed determined to move much further and regretted allowing a toxic culture to persist for nearly two decades under his command. He donated $10 millidirectionally to charities that sell to women leaders and also to those fighting domestic violence as a component of the NBA sanctions opposed to him and the team.
For all movements of organizations to eliminate the stigma and pain caused by the movements of a few, it feels like other Americans have fallen through the cracks.
Months after a wave of layoffs in 2018, the Mavericks fired another employee for sexual harassment. This time he was the danbig team photographer Apple Bollinger, an 18-year-old Mavericks employee and cuban’s old old friend. However, his dismissal was not the end of his relationship with the team. Bollinger has a trend in normal games and is a stalwart friend who saw team staff and officials speak, adding general manager Donnie Nelson, outside the Mavericks’ locker room at the American Airlines Center.
Now there’s Ronzone. A source says Marscorridor held a conference call with all staff Wednesday morning, shortly after Sports Illustrated released its tiebreaking story to discuss it with employees. No further details were given on the call. Despite Marscorridor’s influence and the Mavericks’ top productive efforts, the organization does not seem to shake a specter of sexual misconduct in their ranks.
Because of the 2018 investigation, the Mavericks are required to report employee misconduct and reports to the NBA. The league told SI that the Mavericks reported on the Ronzone-related incident and the team’s ongoing investigation in November 2019.
A lawyer representing Ronzone called his Jstomer “baseless”.
