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.

Just a reminder: You may notice gas prices inching down a bit. They’re now increasing the level of ethanol they put into our gasoline from 10% to 15%. Started May 1. This is really bad for our cars and will cause damage to our car’s fuel system due to corrosion.
America is an objectively awful evil country in so many ways which only makes it more hilarious that whenever. Europeans try and come for us, their attacks are the food (?), the natural geography (??), and pop culture and sports (???). That’s like literally all we do well!
don’t come under here lying because England’s own coach said you’re not used to our heat. you were all WRONG and need AC in your homes. you could never handle American weather and its clear 😂 never start that debate up ever again! UK heat is not that bad and its a fact
so ur telling me that like 2 weeks ago people from the uk said americans didnt understand uk hot weather just for their soccer teams to come over here and not be able to withstand american heat
remember during the olympics when americans were saying “damn i have to be at work/school during this event i wanted to watch this sucks” and yall acted like they were saying THIS and that it was uniquely american and we’re spoiled and self centered? where’s ur fake outrage now
so let me get this straight:
-soccer counts as brazilian/argentine culture, basketball counts as serbian/lithuanian culture, hockey counts as canadian/swedish/finnish culture, rugby counts as NZ/UK culture, but baseball and american football and college sports/march madness cannot POSSIBLY count as american culture?
-afternoon tea is british culture, masala chai is indian culture, espresso is italian culture, turkish tea/coffee is turkish culture, but iced coffee (and sweet tea down south) doesn’t count as american culture?
-telenovelas are part of latino cultures, bollywood is part of indian culture, but hollywood cannot count as american culture?
-kpop is korean culture, jpop is japanese culture, but boy bands (which literally originated in the US) don’t count as american culture?
-wine is part of italian/french culture, beer is part of czech culture, vodka is part of russian/polish culture, but cocktails and soeakeasies aren’t american culture?
-kilts are scottish culture, saris are indian culture, but blue jeans and cowboy boots don’t count as being american culture?
-italy can be respected for having varying regional cuisines throughout the country EVEN IF 85% of it is just different variations of PASTA but the fact that louisiana cajun and creole food is entirely distinct from NE lobster rolls and tex-mex and jersey italian american cuisine and southern biscuits and gravy etc still doesn’t count as america having regional cuisine ?
-maori history counts for NZ, aboriginal history counts for australia, but native american history doesn’t count for the US?
-quinceañeras are latin american culture but sweet 16s aren’t american culture?
i could go on for ages but this is already too long for twitter. i’m tired of this conversation! EVERYWHERE HAS CULTURE! even if you don’t like it!
