IDK if this was mentioned before...

But as ya'll know, the Knicks is NYC's basketball team and they've had a pretty rough history when it comes to winning. They are in the finals, currently ahead 3-1.

Now... a certain EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PRESIDENT came in to watch a game in NYC and security shut down all the good times people were having.

In NYC, as I'm sure in other cities, have these LED displays that post ads and other nonsense no one pays attention to.

Well, Mayor Mamdani had these municipal displays show the Knicks game to NYC fans that couldn't afford the $5000+ tickets.


What a great Mayor.

the express written permission of major league basketball!

Perhaps the mayor invoked his emergency eminent domain powers under a little known codicil to the City charter.
