Talking Heads Say The Knicks Are A “Likable” Team, But Their Fans Are Animals
For the record, I am not a fan of the NBA. I love football, baseball, and hockey, but I generally only tolerate the NBA season. Still, this year, the matchup for the finals was interesting, and after hearing ad nauseam about how long it had been since the Knicks had even played in the finals, and how young the Spurs were, I subconsciously decided to lean toward the Knicks.
After they went to San Antonio and won twice on the road, things were looking good for New York. They were coming home, Madison Square Garden was going to be rocking, and President Trump was going to attend. Tickets were being sold for outlandish prices, and the stage was set for the Knicks’ first finals game at MSG since 1999.
However, the animals that the “likable” Knicks call fans forgot the adage that in sports, “anything can happen,” and it did on Monday night. Despite the circus atmosphere, the Spurs persevered and defeated them 115-111. It wasn’t a huge surprise. The games have all been close, and even in the Knicks’ two wins, the Spurs were leading with just two minutes to go.
However, after the game, the Knicks fans destroyed all goodwill and the party atmosphere that had existed before the game. They brutally attacked fans wearing Spurs jerseys and, in many cases, tore the jerseys completely off them.
I am a Steeler fan, and I have traveled to many road games across the country, proudly wearing my jersey and carrying a few “Terrible Towels.” My stops included big-time rivals like Cleveland, Cincinnati, and even the “Black Hole” in Oakland, but I have never seen behavior like the morons exhibited in New York after that basketball game.
This was blatant, targeted brutality and harassment that was unprovoked. Simply rooting for the Spurs and wearing their jersey was enough to trigger the venom of these arrogant imbeciles.
Is this a symbol of New York or the hair trigger of society in general? In this case, I have to conclude that this was one hundred percent New York. We have all seen teams in every sport lose critical games, and none of those losing teams reacted in such a horrific way.
I know the Knicks couldn’t care less, but I am now rooting for the Spurs, and the shame of it is that it has nothing to do with their team. It has everything to do with the clown show after they lost one game, and their animalistic fans displayed their true colors. I wonder how many others feel the same way?
The Spurs lost the first two games at home, and no videos like this emerged.
In the battle of class, New York looks like a third-world country, and no one is even apologizing for it.
The city elected a socialist/communist mayor, and a city already circling the drain has now become a zoo. This was a sporting event; it wasn’t political, it was pure competition, and the city buckled under the weight of its inbred thuggery.
It’s rare that a basketball team loses a series in the streets and not on the court, but congratulations, “New Joke,” you already have. Even if you win the games, you’re already ugly losers.
GO SPURS!!
