It's not like the dude wearing a Pacers jersey was just walking down the street minding his own business. There was a Knicks crowd that was there.
So it seems to me he was looking for trouble. I get it, Knicks fans shouldn't have done what they did. But he was also wrong. Dude was trying to be a troll. You can't act all shocked after that.
For what is worth, you really, really do not want to go down that road.
One of the reasons why I follow the NBA despite not being an American is that fan hooliganism isn't really a thing in American sports. Fans of opposing teams can watch away games without fearing for their safety. That's something I admire because this is not what happens in my country, Greece. Olympiacos fans cannot go into Panathinaikos' stadium to watch their teams play each other (and vice versa). When the big teams play, you will never see fans of different teams watching the game together. Opposing ultra groups attacking each other isn't uncommon and those attacks sometimes result in deaths.
You really do not want any of that crap happening in the US. Trust me on that. It makes following any team a lot, lot worse.
The worst part of a team being good after such a long time, is that POS like these come up. And we can see that on this forum as well.
"Looking for trouble" lol. Maybe he was trying to get to the subway, Penn Station or the 42nd St Bus Station, coming from a bar, or even work who cares? It doesn't matter
People wear other jerseys all over the country around this time, and guess what there are Knicks fans in Cali, Florida, Boston and other places too.
For the most part in US you can safely wear a jersey wherever you want, even Lakers Jerseys in Boston. At most you should expect some trash talking which is fine.
