trump is pissing off a ton of Knicks fans. First they have to get to the game two hours early. Second, there will be no watch party outside Madison Square Gardens. I hope that trump is booed at this event
New York Knicks fans tell Trump to 'stay home' ahead of NBA Finals appearance: report

MS NOW's Laura Haefeli spoke with several Knicks fans in New York on Sunday after it was announced that the team's watch party was canceled because of Trump's attendance at the game. The Knicks, in conjunction with the New York Police Department and the Secret Service, decided to cancel the event, which was scheduled to be held near Madison Square Garden. Instead, the parties will be held in Central Park and in Brooklyn, miles away from the arena.
Knicks fans who spoke with Haefeli expressed frustration and consternation over the decision to cancel the watch parties near MSG.
"Please, Mr. Trump, stay home," one Knicks fan said. "Do not jinx my Knicks because no McDonagh in the next 100 years will vote Republican. Just like we haven't voted Republican since the 1950s."
"Enjoy being in New York. Enjoy the stadium. Don't be too much of a distraction, and let's keep everything about what's important, and that's Knicks basketball," another fan said.
"It's going to be impossible to get on this block," another fan told Haefeli outside of MSG. "It's going to be a long walk in for a lot of these fans. It's going to be hard for them to get in. But you know what? That's what's going to need to happen to keep everybody in there safe. You know, I get it. It's going to be a pain for a lot of people to get in there."

(14,703 posts)do you suppose we would get something on the level of the fabled "STEINBRENNER SUCKS!" cheer at Yankee Stadium that was so loud it overrode the noise-canceling equipment? That would really be something!

(14,703 posts)Don't remember exactly what year it was (perhaps some Yankees fan here could enlighten me) but I think it was during one of the famous Steinbrenner-Billy Martin feuds and a time of general fan discontent with ol' George. Anyway, it was a TV game and I think the chanting began in the bleachers, but before long it had taken over the entire stadium and was so loud it overpowered NBC's noise canceling equipment and there wasn't a darn thing they could do about it. They couldn't even cut to commerdial because the game was going on.

(27,602 posts)For a few months I lived one avenue east of, and 4 blocks north of Yankee Stadium.
I often went near to 161 St (main intersection of YS) for the regular supermarket; when I couldn't get items from my bodega across the steet.
Anyway, at certain times I'd be walking back home, and cheering would arise from the stadium.
I loved that! 😄

(14,703 posts)if the crowd started chanting "TR*MP SUCKS!" during the Knicks game (whether he's there or not!) and it overpowers the sound system? Think about that for a moment, if you will.

His base just loves watching him put up litteral road blocks to people in NY, which is just sad and pathetic.
