One of the worst types of news. Rangers won't win until the Dolans are gone

Dolan is fine, the Dolan hysteria is way overblown. The only time I remember hearing about him is with the Gorton/JD firings and neither guy is anything special. Hating on Dolan is like hating on Nickleback, other people do it so it's cool.

He cares more about celebrities than fans being able to afford going to games.

Yes, because most businessmen try to make as little money as possible.

It might be a situation like in Chicago where the son actually did what was needed to win. I don't know anything about his kids. I just know what Dolan did this past year that made me avoid going to any games, and I'm not sure when I'll return.

What's that?

We will see, sounds believable. But Mark Cuban said the same thing for years and end up selling the Mavs. I also get the sense besides the prestige of owning the teams, Dolan doesn’t really enjoy owning the teams anymore like how the business of sports has changed recently.

Maybe Igor hysteria is overblown too.

Nope, not that one.

nope, nope, NOPE.

If you want to say that 'ownership' hasn't been a big problem for the Rangers operations, I can reluctantly get on board. Talk to any Knicks fan since 1999 and you'll most likely find a decidedly different answer.

But under no circumstances, should anyone every write 'Dolan is fine'. Dolan is an egregious, thin-skinned, awful human being who existence is the worst blend of being a petulant child while soaking NY tax payers for millions of dollars.

This isn't a post that 'the rich are bad', this is a post and a permanent reminder that James Dolan is bad. We can both love the Rangers and not need to white knight for anyone undeserving.

It's fine. Whatever. New ownership ain't reducing ticket prices, concessions, etc.

I really don't care about Dolan's person faults. You don't like him on a personal level, I couldn't give two shits about him on a personal level. I also don't care about the Knicks.
