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 bitch 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.
I've only seen him in a suit since the primary...
And considering the Knicks have sent him a Cease and Desist for "using" their logo already, a jersey might not have been the best bet.
Seems like he watched the whole game too:

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...
Yup, billionaire who donated to Trump campaign.
That explains it then.
Wear a Mets jersey then. It would be a nice middle finger to Dolan.
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
Not wing, just not being true to himself. Paid $700 but not supporting the team.
your complaint is as stupid as the article
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
