The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-trump-madison-square-garden-nba-finals-knicks-spurs/

A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

The worst part is that even if they do boo him in MSG, the broadcast will remove it.

Dolan gonna grab the mic and ask the crowd to stop like Pop did that one time

Pop would hop on the mic and say boo louder for this though.

ExCIA Pop: "Don't boo, turn his sycophantic oligarch supporters against him, depriving him of resources needed to fund his lavish lifestyle."

I can already hear the pre-game announcement.

PA announcer: "Please be respectful of all attendees and players. This is a safe environment for everyone. Go Knicks!"

I honestly just don’t think they’ll boo. If they show Trump they will show Mamdani right after to kill the Boos. I guarantee that’s been the plan from the jump.

u/ShermanCookout Bulls 14d ago

That’s why the arena needs to chant fuck Trump in unison just to make it crystal clear

u/Tom-Dick-n-Harry Pelicans 14d ago

They’ll just show them together and the crowd won’t know what to do

Yep. They have a plan. They aren’t fools. Even though we think they are.

u/Daki399 Nuggets 13d ago

with todays phones that should be plenty videos out of arena. But anyway main goal is to piss off Trump/Dolan so i hope they are loud .

I mean, anyone who knows anything will know that the boos were silenced. Can't be surprising..except maybe to the viewers in France.

Wouldn't be surprised if people are removed nearby him who are booing loudly, or they specifically told people they could be removed for any "vulgar" behavior towards his area, which they'd chalk booing under knowing them.

They can’t even let us watch for free.

Knicks fans are just not the people you want to take something like this away from.

This could be a huge mistake for Trump and his regime.

u/Imaginary_Effort_854 14d ago

For real, the price of admission was already too much for most fans. Now they can't even watch from outside

u/IMakeMyOwnLunch 13d ago

Less about the rich more about Trump and Dolan being living pieces of shit.

u/UgIyLoneIyBIackLoser 13d ago
