New York Sports' Most Disgraceful

In terms of New York sports, there has been success in the last 25 years. The Yankees have won a handful of championships. Two stunning Super Bowls for the Giants. A Stanley Cup for the Rangers. They have their pros and cons every year, but they have put together groups that can win it all and it showed. With that comes the black sheep in the form of the Knicks, a team who, quite frankly, should be boycotted.

Since the start of the 2001 season, they have only been good for two years and at least four playoff appearances. Maybe five. Just about every year, it has been losing season after losing season. They've gone through so many coaches and general managers, it's a complete dysfunction. It's like watching the Cleveland Browns in basketball form. The fact that they are valued at four billion dollars is embarrassing. Sure, some of their players do decent, but as a whole, the chemistry just isn't there.

The front office ain't exactly good, either. Just the mere fact that they still have that stupid media policy. New York beat writers can't even do normal stuff without security and a PR guy being next to them. Interviews are next to impossible. You hear stories from guys like Daily News' writer Frank Isola where they get shunned due to how the Knicks run things. I'll chalk it up as owner James Dolan not wanting to hear any shred of criticism. You're going to get criticized. Michael Kay can criticize the Yankees and the YES Network is okay with that. What also doesn't help is their PR person, Jonathan Supranowitz. That guy tries to be secretive and also not allow any criticism.

Unfortunately, these morons in New York City will sell out Madison Square Garden just to see the Knicks lose over and over. Any other team would lose fans. And honestly, it's time to boycott them. They are a disgrace to New York sports, the NBA, basketball in general, and anybody that works in media. Fans who go to the games, stop going. Don't watch the games on MSG or any channel. Start telling people that Dolan and Supranowitz need to be stripped of their power. Get chickenshit commissioner Adam Silver to stop being a complete pussy and overthrow those two. And maybe things could be better. It is absolute torture to see a once delightful team keep finding ways to be a complete embarrassment in sports.
