How much is a slap on the backside worth? Well, if the backside belongs to a Las Vegas "beverage manager," and the hand belongs to ex-NBA crazy man Dennis Rodman, the price would be $225,000.Or so says a federal judge, who awarded the sum to Sara Robinson, after Robinson claimed Rodman humiliated her in front of co-workers and guests.
One wonders how much Rodman would be forced to pay if he copped a feel in a place that didn't have a motto suggesting the ramifications of such behavior would never leave its confines.

Well, guess she proved herself to be a whore...just had to go to court to set the price. $250,000 to touch her ass. Don't think even Rodman could afford to fuck her.

If rodman was just another jerk on the strip. it wouldn't be more then a 1,000$ fine. 220,000$ is absolutely absurd for a tap on the rear.

If it was your mother or sister would you still be calling her a whore?

Umm.. does anyone else understand what 225,000 = to Millionaires? That's not much money to them at all. If it was someone making a "normal" salary I'd say the fine was a wee bit hefty but when you can throw money around like Dennis Rodman, it's not a lot at all. A while back AOL listed what 25K means to a movie start vs what it means to the average person. Wish I had the link so others could see the reality of it all.

I think its appropriate in this case. It sends a message to this notoriously arrogant man that fame does not give him the right to do what he wants to or put his hands where he pleases. I bet he won't do it again!

A slap on the butt happends in Vegas all the time. You can bet that she wouldn't dare sue her boss or any other "high rollers" that come into the casino. Dennis just got caught because he's so nasty. LOL

If you're an individual who believes this I think you are one very SICK puppy. I dare you to look your own mother or sister or even grandmother in the face and say this sentence to one of them. I'd love to see any of them slap that smirk right off your face. What a disgusting pig of a person you are!

you are right they all do. look at it this way for your bestfriend to be your friend what do you have to buy him. for your girlfriend or wife to marry you what do you have to do. give them some 2k rng and thats if your a cheap bastard. then on every anniversary ( if your married there are more than 1) when you first started dating, the first time ya'll had sex, when you proposed, when you got married, the list goes on and on and for everyone of them you have to buy them something. the only thing i ever buy for my friends is beer. so take a moment to think about that. all women do have a little bit of prostitute in them. its actually cheaper to just hire 1 off of the corner from time to time.

I live in Las Vegas and this woman has every right to sue for that amount. Dennis Rodman is a pig. He has 7 prior offenses for assaulting women and he even assaulted a male dealer here. He just doesn't get it. Maybe hitting his wallet will get his attention, but I doubt it.

Are you an idiot? Who said all black people are bankrupt.Oh, by the way, Collord is antiquated and from the education you've been taught, misspelled. It's Colored if you choose to use obsolete terminology and mentally challenged ideas. It's obvious he has cash and savings to do the kind of things which I don't agree with. Yet to categorize all black people as bankrupt is ignorant and out of line. I can say all white people are spiritually bankrupt, but that is not the case. Some maybe, others may not be. Go learn something other than from the TV set.

T.C., I think Joe is implying, in language I probably ought to TOS but haven`t, his mom/sis/daughter might have told girl friends they were mortified at the over familiar tap, but probably wouldn`t have gone to court to get paid for the privelege. Sure Dennis the Menance shouldn`t have done what he did, but even a guy getting tapped like that probably wouldn`t be mortified, and a woman probably shouldn`t be either. Hope if was worth the money to the Rod for the publicity. But the whole thing sounds petty and frivalous. Which is not surprsing with RodMan. He defense and rebounding were good, but his sideline publicity and off court publicity has always tended to be frivolous and petty. A court ordered apology would have been much ado about very little. A restraining order, which she DIDN`T seek, to keep Roddy away from her bottom would have been excessive. But 225 grand? Clearly sounds like she wanted money, not respect. When all folks deserve the respect, including her, even including RodMan!, well, maybe!, well, almost, and she didn`t deserve the money. Rod needs a job, color analyst on basketball, acting, something to meet his lust for bad publicity, he is way to old for these teen style antics, he needs to grow up. But so do all the folks aching for a fast, unearned, buck, in or out of legal court.

Instead of taking him to court, she should've placed a knee or foot to the groin - maybe that would cure him.

This was an unwanted sexual assault. That is called rape. Pay to play. Rodman should have some respect for women. She could be some man's wife trying to make a living no matter where she works.

You are an idiot, rape is not the same thing. While he should have to pay her, and it is a crime they are two different things. a touch is far from rape. Rape is penetration. Stupid over reacting people like you who make up what ever you want and flat out lie about it are what is part of the problem with the people of today. What a loser
