I know everybody is mad and want something to happen, but ohnsetly, does anybody think ANYTHING an be done right now to help us right now or for the future?

I mean sure we can fire IT before the draft, which is like the only thing he does well, but for what. We have no tradable assets really, outside of Frye. Everybody else has sucked so much latley they have no value whatsoever.

Even Frye has been suckin and gettin exosed, so his value is much lower then earlier in the season.

I think the best thing we can do as fans is just stop comin got games and wathcing the games on TV, and stop buying the merchendise and just pretend the team doesnt exist anymore. I have stayed away from watching the past 6-7 games, and I sure as hell arent buying anybody's jersey anytime soon.

What we need to do is just boycot this team until they show us something and make us care again. NY sports franchises are spoiled with fanatic devoted fans. The Rangers sucked for 7 years ad MSG still sold out. Same with the Knicks. They know it doesnt matter if they win or not, we will still come.

Well I say lets put an end to that. Lets make a statement as fans and not come to games, not buy their jerseys and not watch their programmin on TV. Let Dolan and company feel the financial pain of F@ucking over us the fans year after year.

Botycott this sorry organization.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

Can't say I disagree, Simrud.

But the problem is, corporations are the ones that really fuel MSG. They're the ones that lease the suites and buy most of the season tix. And they are going nowhere. To me, that is the biggest difference in pro sports over the last couple of decades. It's no longer about pleasing the average sports fan. It's about pleasing the corporations.

But, I suppose if people stopped watching the games on TV and stopped buying Knicks paraphernelia, it would help some. It would be great if an effort could be organized to do just that: Pick one Knicks game, and start a serious campaign to get fans to not watch. Send press releases to the media, call in to WFAN, etc., to promote it.

You might recall that in 1978, NY Giants fans hired a private plane to fly over the Meadowlands with a sign that read: "15 YEARS OF LOUSY FOOTBALL - WE'VE HAD ENOUGH." Fans also held a bonfire outside Giants Stadium and burned their season tickets.

We could use that sort of passion right now.

Knicks fans simply should not tolerate this. Don't watch the games, and certainly don't buy tickets or buy Knicks gear. There are far too many other options in New York for entertainment (sports and otherwise). In a couple of weeks, we get pitchers and catchers. Hallelujah.
