Foxwoods may have sovereign immunity to protect it when patrons try to file law suits, but it's not protected from the negative publicity such suits generate.
This week the buzz is about nine separate suits filed by nine women who say they were verbally assaulted by two Hispanic roulette table workers. Various media are reporting that the women, all companions, are suing the casino because the workers reportedly made many offensive and lewd comments — in Spanish — about the women, not knowing that one of the women could understand Spanish perfectly.
"Great, we have a bunch of dumb broads that don't know how to play," said one of the men to the other. They called one of the women a derogatory word for lesbian and with vulgar words talked about wanting to have sex with them. This is just a sampling of the discourse. Each of the women is suing the workers and the Mashantucket Pequot for $500,000.
Goes to show you never know who is listening.
