MSG Facial Recognition Controversy

[Megustaelhockey]

Does anyone know anything about this? It's the first I'm hearing about it, but it sounds on brand for Dolan.

Lawyers Barred by Madison Square Garden Found a Way Back In (Published 2023)

MSG Entertainment resorted to facial recognition technology to kick out legal foes, but some have undermined the ban using a law passed to protect theater critics in 1941.

it sounds dystopian and stuff but its hilarious its just an overly complicated way for the rich owner to weed out guys who talk smack about him lol

JD & The Straight Shot really aren't bad

 

[Ail]

It's dystopian and I hate the tech in general, but I don't blame Dolan at all for doing this. Yeah the guy sucks ass, but if I was as rich as he was I would be doing everything I could to make sure sue-happy frauds weren't trying to scam me out of money through litigation. Whatever, everyone knows Dolan is pure trash. If you don't like it, just don't go to MSG for games I guess.

We've got to hack the algorithm so it doesn't allow Gallant back in

Attorney Taccpino was on Sid Wabc and said he doesn't take on lawsuits against Dolan cause he doesn;t want his season nyr tixs revoked

Today, a very good article about this situation was in the NYP.

Sammy Blais first. Or maybe it could be set up to force Buchnevich to the home locker room next time the Blues visit.

JD & The Straight Shot is probably the BEST BAND I’ve ever heard. I’ve seen a lot of great bands in concert, The Stones, The Dead, Pearl Jam, AC/DC…combine them and you don’t have HALF the ROCK POWER of JD & The Straight Shot, America’s Newest Hit Makers!!!!

The Garden management is awful. Dolan is banning people from the building who work for law firms.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lol does a robot come down from the ceiling and grab the person and throw them out? MSG security comes up to you and looks at your ID, problem solved.

This is assuming that the people smart enough to create the techonology wouldn't know about this potential issue ahead of time and be dumb enough to only scan white and asian faces for some reason?

Admittedly, this is normally a bigger concern with things like facial recognition being used in policing, but all these things come down to implementation.

Dolan threatening to ban alcohol at games smh

He can't go away fast enough. I know it won't happen anytime in the near future, but this guy has been an embarrassment to the NY sports scene. I know he's mostly left the Rangers alone while destroying the Knicks, but but teams would be better off without him hanging over their heads.

 

[SRHRangers]

Dolan needs to be smacked across the mouth.

Enough said.

He's a f*@king weasel.

I really wish Oakley got his hands on Dolan.

 

[UnSandvich]

Notice how he's doing it to a Rangers game, not say a Knicks game.

 

[Bricho]

I would post what I really feel about that piece of sh*t Dolan, but I don’t want to get banned from MSG either

"I've been sober for 29 years (sniff). I don't care about alcohol (sniff sniff)."

I drink before going to the game. It’s cheaper and will get better quality craft beer. Also, eat before as well.

I'd be able to get 3 slices of pizza and a 32 oz Blue Moon from the beer cart at Rose Pizza in Penn Station for $15. Those were the days.

 

[Machinehead]

If I ever come into 3 or 4 billion dollars, I'm putting an end to this myself. I don't care if it costs the whole fortune.

Good thing all lawyers are trash right?

(It’s okay, I’m a lawyer too)

NHL doesn't have issue with facial recognition system at Rangers games

Rangers owner James Dolan is said to use the technology to bar certain ticket holders from the facility that are in business or legal battles with Dolan's companies.
