Knicks owner tells fan of 63yrs to start rooting for the Nets

[Hey Yo]

"New York Knicks and Cablevision CEO James Dolan lashed out at a lifelong fan over email, suggesting the fan was an alcoholic who should start rooting for the Nets "because the Knicks don't want you."

Dolan's response was extraordinarily disproportionate given the relatively mild-mannered

[Knicksfever2010]

Nothing new here, Dolan is a creep and horrible owner. Wake me up when he does something positive.

[ProfessorMurder]

They both sound like jerks.

[Horde of Temujin]

Dolan is why i stopped rooting for the Knicks. I stopped being a fan around 2006 in the midst of the Isiah Thomas era.

How come Aaron Bierman's dad knows that Jim Dolan low-balled Steve Kerr but most of the New York media doesn't...or isn't allowed to say it?

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Isn't Dolan known for this kind of stuff? I always had a perception of him as a prick.

[Horde of Temujin]

He also fired a security guard who did not recognize him and asked him for ID, dude was just doing his job.

keep in mind, Frank Isola said right before the summer of Lebron was starting in 2010 that he didnt think the Knicks should go after Lebron because the Knicks shouldnt try to win 'that way'

The Knicks have been the most trash franchise in the history of this league. I'm always very shocked when I see their arena fill but 99% of the people in attendance are not Knicks fans - they just go because it's a nice and fun event in New York. Even though the Nets attendance numbers have been dwindling they at least get 100% true Nets fans, not these rich random people from Manhattan.

The fan is stupid for emailig Dolan to complain. However, he is right in saying that the Knicks would be better off without Dolan.

Repped. REAL Knick fans know their worst enemy (enema) is the tri - state media.

Dolan should have sent the guy two court side seats and a gift card to a fancy eatery, thanked him for his patience and being a fan for so many years

But instead he does what he always does, plays the part of the fool...

Because the media is responsible for the state the Knicks are in.

Most athletes who dont want to play in NYC cite the ny media. NYC media is VERY tough. Just look at Oklahoma City, after they criticized Durant, a day later they apologized to Durant. That wouldnt happen in NYC.
