    Not a chance in hell he watched the game in those seats wearing a suit. It was always photo op and I’m fine with it. He could have been in a knicks jersey. No one that matters will removed about him “dressing down” as mayor.

      Ehh, hes very media savvy, so he likely expected to be pictured there. I bet he wore the suit on purpose because he knew it would happen either way.

        hes also targeting the right audience, something that mystifies old-guard DNC, or milquetoast newsom, his version of trying getting an audience is to get both sides is platform neo-nazis.

        “using” their logo

        What, was he giving them free advertising by wearing their merch or something? That’s absurd. Imagine if they start sending these cease and desists to everyone who wears their shit.

        The team must be owned by a right-wing billionaire or something…

          I don’t think Mamdani is as naive of Steve Cohen to do something that dumb…

          But it’s not about supporting any billionaire owned team (whose owners hate Mamdani) it’s about supporting the city.

          I don’t know why you are so insistent that Mamdani was somehow wrong here

      I’ll take a suit at a $700 basketball game over a polo at a $“who cares, the tax payers are funding it anyway” golf course
