That's our member behind the wheel. He was pulled out of the cab and suffered shock and physical injury to his arm, back and head.
The whole city is elated about our hometown team — and that includes drivers who watched the game last night at airport lots while waiting for the next fare, listened on their radios while cruising for the next job, and huddled at hotel lines with the same heart-stopping anxiety that turned into the most beautiful joy.
Pulling the cab driver out of his seat, stomping on and shattering his hood turned our joy into a nightmare.
When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker.
He wasn’t out there for a joy ride, he was working to make ends meet and to get his fellow New Yorkers home safely.
Cabbies pay just to go to work. They pay for their cars — whether through loans or leases.
Drivers need safety on the job, both in the quiet moments of ordinary days and in the middle of public celebration.
Shame on anyone who turns these joyful moments into nightmares for fellow New Yorkers.
Yves Bissouma!!
In 2019, Brighton held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw in a game that saw the Londoners miss a return to the UEFA Champions League. One of the highlights of the game was Brighton and Malian midfielder, Yves Bissouma laughing at the dejected, shattered and devastated Nacho Monreal and the Gunners for missing the UCL spot.
If you asked me, I developed my hatred for Bissouma on that day. He became a Tottenham legend on that day also. He deserves a sh...ty club, anyway! He would later sign for Spurs, his current club, and today he has been released. Karma
I’ve to get this off my chest FANS we do not need to fight other fans that wear different jerseys to support their teams. It’s not only in the @NBA but all major sports and college this is sad a mob jump on kids families parents let show some respect and go cheer the teams on…
Knicks Fans WILDING. Huge fight breaks out. Man out here smashing people with a bus stop sign. Cops arresting people. ITS PANDEMONIUM 😭💀
(h/t @yyeeaahhhboiii2)
First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).
Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.
Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.
This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.
