Is this an action of Knicks fans causing chaos after the Knicks historic win the other night or are these individuals just looking for any reason to cause trouble in NYC? I think it is mostly the latter. This is chaos for chaos sake and it becomes the mentality like in the book of Lord of the Flies (also a new series on Netflix).
This was never a NY thing. It was always in the other cities in the US and even in Canada. This is crazy that people think that any sports team that is on its way to win or lose a championship that any "fanbase" or fake fans to act like this. There is no excuse to act like this at all.
"Why won't they let us have watch parties?"- People are going to get hurt and some folks might die, thats why.
I just want Knicks and Spurs fans to be able to enjoy this with no one happen to worry about getting beaten down because of their fandom. There is video out there that I am not going to post of female Spurs fans getting their hair set on fire, fans getting jumped because they are wearing their Spurs gear and then "fans" destroying property both public and private( they destroyed a yellow cab). This is only going to cause us tax payers money in lawsuits, insurance, etc.
People need to be better. Considering how many people we have living in NYC this is just a small number of people to do this reprehensible acts but the majority of the folks that live here should not condone this.
I am going to get off my soapbox here and I can't wait for the Knicks to win. Knicks fans have been waiting a long time for this and this team definitely deserve to win this. This is a special team, in a special city with special fans. Enjoy the championship win if it happens. Don't try to burn the city down if they win or if they lose. That does nothing for anyone.
