Mitch will go whether he’s coming back or not

It would actually be really funny if it was just Dolan

Why is Brunson 100% going?

If he does, he deserves whatever Wemby gives him next year lol

I don’t think Hart and KAT would go.

I’m pretty sure he and Hart have made fun of Trump on the podcast before, highly doubt he’s a a supporter

Damn I thought he’d have his head on straight with it being so god damned big.

That recent espn article about how Dolan gave a motivational speech 10 weeks ago to inspire the team was one of the lamest things I’ve read on that garbage site.

As if coaches don’t give those types of speeches every single day.

The fact that, after the long grueling season these guys played, the trophy that marks their achievement is given to the owner first, and not the guys who accomplished that achievement, is a reminder that amongst the decision makers and elite elite it actually is all about him and the other owners.

The athletes are just the hired help, but it’s Dolan’s achievement. Very well compensated help, mind you, but still the help. It’s all about Dolan. And his white house visit was always a given. And some players will probably feel pressure or an obligation to attend. Don’t want piss off the owner cause the guys has a long track record of being a petty SOB.

JD and the straight shots. Don’t ask me how I know.

Knicks fans agree - fuck James Dolan

Those are some nice slaves…I mean players there, Mr. Dolan

Noticed that word choice too. “Governor” be damned, Dolan still considers himself an “Owner”.

Yeah, I’ve been proud of the NBA overall for them never going when that clown has been in office. I really hope the Knicks players keep up the trend. With the exception of Mitchell. Fuck that guy. He can go with Dolan.

If the Thunder didn’t go, despite a fanbase that has a decent number of Trump supporters (although I’ll assume the city itself, like most urban centers, is more liberal) … and the Knicks do go, despite a fanbase that by and large hates Trump … man, fuck James Dolan so much

I’m glad the NBA as a whole (the players I mean) seems to be pretty real. NFL, MLB, NHL are full of MAGAtards.

Imagine any player in those leagues wore a BLM jersey for a game.

I bet og Josh hart KAT don’t go

I agree. I expect Dolan will put pressure on them to attend, time to see if the players on the Knicks are as likable as we all thought.

Yes I think it’s pretty obvious that most of the team will show up. Not necessarily because they’re Trump supporters, but because they don’t want to deal with the headache from Dolan, the White House, etc.

They’ll probably just show up, shake some hands, look unenthusiastic, then leave.

Most will and just give deadpan expressions in the photo

that son-of-a-bitch will mug it up with the fascist in thief

You got the presidents flipped. 

What fine? Nothing in their contracts says that they need to attend non-basketball events just because the owner tells them to.

I really really hope that nobody shows up other than this dumbass of an owner. Why the fuck anyone would willingly go meet this child rapist is wild as fuck

The permit thing was so incredibly stupid.

So many fucking lunatic billionaire owners.

As a Michigan native, I agree that the DeVos family can go to hell.

Child porn 3 was great in his prime 

There are a shit ton of Hispanic trump fans. If you live in SA then you surely know first hand

And then we’ll all know which players are our true favorites.

Knicks fans been putting people in hospital for wearing a jersey and people think they’ll draw the line at Trump lmfao

He’s managed to convince the lowest white men they are still above the other races or whatever Lyndon Johnson said

KAT has commented about social justice, including condemning the ICE raids in Minneapolis in January that ended up in the murder of Alex and Renee. Josh Hart is on the record about being glad Trump’s “dumbass” was voted out in 2020 and he’s been pretty circumspect that being a ballplayer is way less hard than being a working class man (I’ve seen some comments to that effect).

I knew that because of Dolan they’d be invited to the WH, and I really hope the Knicks don’t disappoint. They all must have known this was going to happen and come up with a plan. I really hope they do the right thing.

Many Knicks players have voiced opposition against Donald so I wouldn’t be so sure.

With how heavily Dolan loves that pedo though? They could be forced to go “or else”.

I stopped supporting the Dodgers after that and they do lean more white conservative, so less shocking.

But, that’s the MLB.

NBA has skipped out on the white house multiple times and the president was nowhere near as bad during his first term as he has been now with what a constitutional nightmare he’s been, and also a cluster fuck internationally. This would be a terrible look.

Yeah probably :/

Doubt it. This is just Dolan saving face for Trump. Now that he has accepted no one will keep asking and they can just quietly drop it. It’s not like when the season starts they are going to keep pressing it on him

Doubt it. KAT and Hart are both very politically outspoken, and have had some choice things to say about Trump. Short of being made to, I can’t imagine them showing up

Agreed, this MF will find some way to trade or void contracts. He is that petty and stupid. It really is all about him. All these dumbasses out here saying he’s absolved of the last 26 years of ineptitude. Its appalling.

I’m real scared that Brunson will go ngl
