Just as the Knicks start to gain some respectability on the court, Dolan finds a new way to squander any possible goodwill. He orders Garden security to use facial recognition to ban thousands of fans.But this dystopian technology is actually just the latest example of decades of strong arm tactics. The Dolan security state fights beloved players…as well as fans, celebrities, and the Girl Scouts. It’s an all out effort to protect Jim’s ego. And the tactics get ugly enough to put Dolan on the radar of New York’s Attorney General.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
