Madison Square Garden Co. issued a statement more than two weeks after the death of George Floyd.

"Every one of us has a role to play in creating a more just and equal society, where there is no racism, bigotry, violence or hate. We stand with all who act for positive change," wrote the company.

Neither Tuesday's statement from MSG, nor the social media accounts addresses what "positive change" the statement is referring to.

James Dolan faced backlash after his initial June 1 internal email that said, in part, "As companies in the business of sports and entertainment, however we are not any more qualified than anyone else to offer our opinion on social matters."

Less than 24 hours after that email was made public, Dolan sent out another internal memo on June 2.

"My point yesterday was about actions, and the importance of living your values," Dolan's June 2 email continued. "At Madison Square Garden, we have worked hard to build an environment of inclusion and mutual respect and those are the values we try to live every day.

"Racism is born of ignorance and it's up to each of us to understand the person working beside you is your equal without regard to color, or any of the other qualities that make us diverse. And any injustice to one person is an injustice to everyone."

this guy will do anything to not directly address the injustice we're all talking about. it makes no sense.

I think he's thinking too munch into this. Trying to please both sides. Everyone knows he is not racist.
He just needs to be himself and release an honest statement.

Sad to see society like this now where we can't just keep quiet or have our own opinions and beliefs but must recite out publicly the current mob mentality mission statement in order not to be harassed or have your home or business burned down. Ignorance and the uneducated completely rule the world now

You are either with us or against us.

As a fan, I think want to know where they stand.
As players, I would think that they also want to know where the knicks stand. The whole team is 90% African Americans. I think they deserve to know.
As sponsors, I would think that they have a right to know a well.
