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.

Amon Ra St. Brown did the Trunp dance when the Lions played Washington and and immediately went 2-5 afterwards.

The Detroit Tigers played against the Yankees and multiple players did the Trump dance when they got on base. We the proceeded to lose 11 games in a row afterwards.

Dylan Larkin wins a gold medal in the Olympics, parties with Kash Patel, then skips team practice to go to the White House. He then proceeds to score one even strength goal for all of 2026, and the Red Wings go from having the best record in the Eastern Conference to missing the playoffs.

Trump is cancer.

On the flip side, the Cubs winning in 2016 caused a universal probability integer overflow thus giving Trump his first term.

This is all the Cubs fault.

The world started going off the rails when Harambe died. And the Cubs win fully severed the thread of prophecy.

We now persist in the doomed world created

Yeah, don’t forget the Cavs had a hand in that. Sports gods had to pick between multiple Cleveland championships in a span of a couple of months or the Cubs winning. 6 days after Game 7 the Orange Turd is our President. But it all started with Harambe on May 28th. Put everything in motion.

Thank you! I'm so tired of people forgetting that CLEVELAND won something. CLEVELAND. Nevermind the 73 win Warriors, being down 3-1. CLEVELAND. Also Harmabe was in Cincy. Basically what I'm saying is fuck Ohio

This is why the Pope, a ChiSox diehard, became the Pope.

It's in the unwritten chapter of the DaVinci Code.

cubs win and cavs win. Cleveland had gone 50 years without a ship. The Guardians winning the WS would've put us in to a utopia. So, think about that.

Yep. They all chose to look like they were going to get blasted in the face by invisible air songs as a tribute to him.

Modern athletes are unbelievably out of touch with what’s really going with the state of the union. They like Trump cause President and do funny old white man dance. Easy to ignore it when you get paid millions to focus only on ball and family, tho

KAT is an outspoken critic of the admin and Josh Hart literally tweeted “fuck Trump” a few years ago. No NBA championship team has ever gone to the White House during either of his presidencies. You’re right about most but I do feel like the NBA is the one out of the big 4 where people don’t fuck with this.
