Here is both of their responses to their men talking to bombshells
Melanie: “I suit him more”
Bea: “if someone can kiss him and turn his head he’s not for me anyways”
Not falling for the Bea pick me propaganda
Dolan was sooooo close…
He had generated positive PR (one of the few times in the two decades he’s wowed the team) by just keeping quiet and letting the Knicks success speak for itself.
But he just couldn’t leave well enough alone.
First, he invites Trump to MSG, which infuriates and inconveniences countless fans.
Now he gets in a pissing contest with the Mayor and police commissioner.
Injecting unnecessary drama, negativity and dissension into what had been an incredibly unifying communal experience
Courtside at MSG is funny because it’s like beloved former Knicks star from the ‘90s next to an insanely famous actor next to the CEO of a company that turns orphans into AI data center liquid coolant.
most working actors have day jobs in real estate, have family money, or a spouse with a real job. i met someone whose breakout lead role was in a $70M budget film that flopped; they were driving lyft two years later. people have no idea how precarious the arts are.
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.
The Right Wing spent the last five years telling us that the NBA is dead, just for this season to break multiple ratings records.
Now Trump himself is attending a Finals game, ruining the experience for a lot of Knicks fans in the process.
no one can afford anything but they were going to get free watch parties outside of the center regardless of their income, and now the person who is the cause of that economic suffering is going to the Knicks game. there will be a lot of people around MSG at this time.
