Knicks Fans Taking It To the Streets

Break out the posterboard and chants, Knicks fans are protesting! In fact, as you read this (11 a.m. Eastern) a protest on 7th Avenue next to Madison Square Garden is taking place. The New York Times talks to the 67-year-old fan organizing the rally, and has a picture of 32-square-foot mock pink slip anti-Isiah Thomas fans will be asked to sign.

The Times' Joe LaPointe also goes into detail about the depths to which the Knicks have gone to quiet the rage inside MSG. Fans have been kicked out for making impromptu signs calling for Isiah's head, warnings have been issued to hecklers -- who do the Knicks think they're fooling? Do they think a win every fourth game and a quiet(ed) MSG will make Isiah beloved through the boroughs again?

Credit Knicks fans for caring enough to spend a cold morning out raising a ruckus that's already been raised to a high volume. Maybe someday James Dolan will learn to respect his team's fan base.
