So often players, coaches, GM's, Presidents, Owners are blamed for a team's failure whether it be the team not winning games, putting a competitive product on the floor, maximizing it's assets etc etc. How much are fans responsible say when any of the aforementioned lose their jobs, get traded, get re-assigned, etc etc. How about when a team is relocated for lack of fan support but the team sucked, the ticket prices were high, and the venue wasn't conducive to an enjoyable fan experience.

Like here's an example (an extreme one at best) say DW decided to take a fan poll on whether I SAY UGH should stay and obtain, retain, or gain a different position within the organization. The fan poll reflected an opinion he should stay and DW acted in accordance. The effect, I SAY UGH's influence continued to produce negative results. Who's responsible?

fans are responsible on to the extend they accept or reject the "product".

Even in failure and sexual harassment, the fan has accepted the product.

But, that does not mean the KNicks have maximized their profit potential nor helped build good will.

This season has done damage for many years. Until they succeed and the face of the francise is not the clowns (isiah, dolan and Marbury) but reputable men of honor and talent the team will be ok, but not great.

Think of how many of you rode the glory of the 1990s and have still stuck it out?

For me as a wee young lad the 70-75 team etched them as my team for over 30 years now!

Certainly this group of clowns cannot even begin to garner any kind of respect.

Who is responsable?
