Man, I truly do feel bad that you guys have to deal with this idiot. You can fire, trade or cut pretty much everyone, but there's nothing you can do about a bad owner. NYC and the NBA deserves so much better.


Oh STFU. Don’t try to derail this thread with bullchit

Not my intent at all. I love New York, and the NBA is better when the Knicks are good and MSG is rocking. I mean that sincerely.

This in no way is a knicks for clicks situation. Fans may not care about this, but i can totally understand why a front office that has many black employees and a team that has many black players would be upset. Dolan pandering to his conservative colleagues, business partners, whatever is so pathetic.

Cause the whole phrase is "a few bad apples spoil the bunch," which is directly opposite of the message they're trying to convey


Actually, it's ONE bad apple spoils the bunch. But you're right, they seem to be implying that the problem is a few rogue officers and not systemic.

Maybe they're fans of the Osmond Brothers, who sang "One bad apple DON'T spoil the whole bunch."


I love that song. :D

The problem is that if you rat on your partner on another officer in your squad/precinct, you never get any back up when you need it. It's "The Code"


All of these “good cops” should simply back each other up. At last count they were 90-95% of the force. Shouldn’t be an issue.

Dolan is a Trump guy. That's not even a rumor. It's a fact he's donated to the Trump campaign.


Dolan may be a republican but he's far from being a racist pig.

I don’t mind that Dolan is silent about this issue, mostly because I never want to hear him comment on anything at all, basketball related or otherwise. Would love to never hear from him again, ever.

That should made this legal case much easier to prosecute.

Now pick up the other 3 officers.


They're already slacking... the other 3 officers should've been arrested yesterday.

But I want to know how or will the general public figure out a way to get to the police unions? That's the issue. Plain and simple.

I was exposed to who police were before I even turned 10 years old.. when I lived in Sunset Park a neighbor was driving a motorcycle and was being chased down the block by cops.. it was summer.. When the cops finally caught him a white irish/italian 20 something year old.. they beat the sh*T out of him in front of his house and when his mom came out to stop them they slapped her up.. my dad grabbed his revolver and was going to go over to do something until my mom physically stopped him. The family ended up suing and settling. But as a kid I learned you just don't **** with cops because they can and make no mistake they will get away with anything.

So what's the solution? Seems an impossible one.


The "solution" seems rather simple to me. If you don't want trouble with cops then don't break the law.

Further, any time they stop you or pull you over, be polite and totally cooperative.THAT is the solution, in the example you gave.
Tanking again, I suppose. Is there any other way?

I could honestly care less if the Knicks make a statement or not. Feel like most of these statements these other companies are making are fake/forced and just a routine they following.

But I can understand a employee feeling some type of way. Never get racist vibes from Dolan. Just an idiot in PR situations

At THIS point I'd rather have that than anarchy. The protesters have had their day in the sun. The point has been made. Now please go home.

James Dolan is friends with and supports Donald Trump.
