Student arrested for 'Fire Isiah' tees
BY LEO STANDORA
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


A 22-year-old college student was busted for trying to sell "Fire Isiah" T-shirts outside Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

Ivan Cash says he was hauled away in handcuffs, taken to the Midtown South Precinct, fingerprinted and held in a cell for three hours - until the Knicks lost to the Sacramento Kings, 107-97. Then he was given a ticket and released.

Cash was at 33rd St. and Seventh Ave., waiting for a pal who has a vendor's license, when the cops swooped in, he said.

He was charged with "intent to sell."

A police spokesman confirmed the arrest Wednesday night but had no details.

Cash said more than 100 frustrated Knicks fans had bought his T-shirts - at $20 a pop - at the last three Knicks home games.

The graphic design student at the State University of New York at Geneseo makes the shirts himself.

Around a photo of beleaguered Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, black lettering on the bright orange shirts delivers the message, "Don't hate the player or the game. Hate the coach."

"The police came up to me at every game before and asked me what I was doing," said Cash. "I told them. They shrugged, and that was that."

But not Wednesday night.

Cash figures the arrest was meant "to put a lid on all the demands by fans for a new coach."



Pathetic. I guess the cops either had nothing better to do or were payed a lil something something by Dolan, or the Knicks are just pansies. Or both. I guess free speech is being thrown out the window OUTSIDE the Garden as well. How sad.

Excuse me for my lack of terminology knowledge, but what do you mean by plug?

Oh my fault: I don't know about this one though. He said the cops kept shrugging him off as he kept trying to sell and suddenly he got arrested. He didn't even get a warning???

vendors need licenses, right? I wonder if it is supposed to be the same for him. I am sure someone at MSG spoke up to the cops and they just did their jobs. Seems fair.

How pathetic. Dolan doesn't care to stop the sexual harassment that goes on at MSG, but you'll be damn sure he'll stop a college student from selling "Fire Isiah" shirts.

I guess. I guess the situation is just messed up. It's so hard to have a voice against the Knicks now, because there's officially a fear of being freaking arrested, thrown out of the game, and the media people being fired for being banned from the Garden.

Does he have a website with a pic of the shirt?
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I told him I'd put it on my site if he gave me time. Instead, he tried to plug it through a comments section without my permission.

I was really let down by this kid.

I got a little of that same vibe when he contacted us. But you never know, email is hard to tell and he is a young dude.

I doubt that MSG had him arrested. It doesnt work like that, you cany just pick up the phone and call the precinct, saying you want someone arrested. What happened was, its the beginning of the month and some cop saw an easy BS collar that he could knock it in a couple hours, and he took it. Just because one cop says its okay doesnt mean another will.

Well it all works out, a cop has his collar for the month and this guy got his publicity. But dont believe for a second that MSG had anything to do with this.
