James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
protect the t-boys
protect the dolls
protect the enbies

now more than ever is it time to vocally and loudly and publicly support the transgender community and fight for their livelihoods and their rights. i’m radically pro-transgender and I hope you all are, too
let's break this down, because this really lays the strategy bare.
1) lumping in "pro-transgender" with terror threats, evoking words like Jihadi and ISIS, very unsubtly equating these things that have nothing to do with one another, to subconsciously affix it to things you fear.
2) once again using their neverending posthumous martyrdom of Charlie Kirk to make whatever the fuck statement they want.
3) insinuating that Charlie's killer's "pro-transgender" beliefs are to blame for what he did, tying it to a string of supposed violent left wing extremist attacks, furthering the agenda that leftism itself is a terrorist group, and to be pro-transgender is to be violent and a threat to society (how many shooters have been right wing btw?)
4) the term "pro-transgender" itself is layered in many ways. saying this makes it appear as though being trans is a belief system rather than an identity, and belief systems are easier to make into threats. and while it implies that being pro-transgender is something violent and scary, it also plants the idea that "wow if people who SUPPORT the trans 'ideology' are bad, imagine how bad actual trans people must be" without actually having to say "trans people are evil."
5) strategically not saying "we want to eradicate trans people" but instead saying "we want to eradicate all scary things that threaten our lives, and btw trans people are that"
it doesn't get much more blatant than this. it really doesn't. and i hope everyone can see this for what it is.
Don't forget that if you ask for things to improve somewhat, it means you are literally a communist taking money out of the empty pockets of the US military
