Curtis Sliwa goes off on James Dolan for the stunt he pulled yesterday related to the Knicks watch party at MSG:
“Before the Knicks championship run against the San Antonio Spurs, the most hated, loathed person in New York was Jimmy Dolan. People hate him, and now everybody is lifting him up and saying, “This guy, he's a party guy. He wants us to party to the break of dawn and celebrate the Knicks.” And so he threw water on Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
But especially Zoran Mamdani yesterday, when he canceled the viewing party. And he blamed the police commissioner and the mayor, and then said, “Hey, Mr. Mayor, you're not a real Knicks fan. I wanted everyone to party. I wanted everyone to enjoy this. You're the party pooper.” Jimmy Dolan, I'm coming after you now for sure. I'll have the mayor on my side to make you pay your property taxes.
$48 million a year. I think, finally, the mayor may say, “Yeah, let's tax that rich guy who blasphemed me.””
@woop54 it’s been a while since I’ve read about this but wasn’t the stuff going on borderline illegal? I know they arrested and tried some dude in Europe over this
