Some people are saying that the reason he got kicked out was that he is just banned from the Garden. That's the only justification for the Knicks to look the way they did.
But they have not said that in their 'statements.' Does anyone know if prior to that game he was banned or no? Also surprised John McEnroe hasn't given his version.
Also, I agree with those saying both parties were in the wrong, and I also can't believe that Oakley was quietly watching the game and then was tossed by security.
I've met Oak a couple of times -- even in quiet moments he is a pretty belligerent personality.
Finally, even if Oakley was just sitting quietly reading a book -- one cannot push, shove, or take aggressive physical action to security at an event (and with police present) and be totally in the right. Just like if someone calls you a name, you can't punch him. Its at least a misdemeanor.

All Dolan has done is wreck in billion$ and wreck the team. The knicks have been a joke since Dolan acquired it. The fish started rotting from the head.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired already!!!😯😔
Dolan is a disgrace to everything. Sports, business, himself.
MSG Security Chief Fired over Charles Oakley Incident - ( New Window )
No one ever said Dolan was stupid. He was born on third base and no one else can get on base! A true example of why rich people are the worst.

Dolan is stupid.
Glad to be a trailblazer.
Sounds like another idiot we all know.
Wow the snake is going to face the music? I don't believe it

i have already said dolan is very wrong in this as well but oakley knew it was going to happen..
when security came he could of just got up and said ok can we talk in the tunnel so there is no scene, instead he stodd up and started screamong and started shoving guys..
neither party is roght in this, dolan is wrong for being a petty bitch and oakley is wrong for escalating it with physical force...
Oakley knew it was going to happen? Oakley escalated the events with physical force?
Now, you've misrepresented virtually everything about the event. At this point I have to ask: do you figure it was actually Oakley in the stands? Or was it Charles Barkley?
Pandering to all sides doesn't make you more right.

oakley himself said that he knew that security watches him when he comes and he was told that dolan has to be notified when he is there...
he also has been stopped at the door and not let in..
and he did escalate it with physical force, if he didnt start shoving guys would there have been an issue? he would of been taken to the back and talked to security..would he have been arrested? no..

Dont know Kay's schtick, but I hope there are zero questions about Oakley. Use them all to ask about the direction of the franchise, whether Dolan will authorize a rebuild, whether Phil is leaving, whether he has talked to Phil about douchebaggery etc. Not expecting it.
Interesting the Dolan is really feeling the heat on this. What, is he coming on to defend his sterling reputation and standing among Knicks fans?

what he should do before any questions say, i am calling oakley to come in and have a sit down with me and see if we can repair the damage and hope to see if we can get the knicks and oakley back together...
as for the direction of the franchise he is just going to say it is up to phil, he leaves basketball decisions up to phil...
unless he is firing him
Good. These assholes act like Dolan's lackey dogs and then when shit hits the fan, he scapegoats them.
Why not be a man? When you see Oakley is doing nothing that warrants ejection, stand up and tell the boss you are just following policy. If he cans you, then you have your self-respect, the respect of others and a good lawsuit. By being a sniveling lackey, you get what you deserve.
Mike is already trying to soften the blow for not getting the exclusive, said Dolan only does interviews face to face, won't do phone calls, and Mike is doing a remote from Mohegan Sun so Jim wouldn't call in to the show and is doing the ESPN in studio.

Usually Francesa is where Jimmy goes for a soft landing. Should be an interesting convo. I just hope they don't let Rosenberg ask any questions - leave this one to that actual sports guys.

He likes to put on the charm offensive.
rosenberg is annoying, i dont know why they even have him on the show
at least canty knows sports..
Rosenburg turns every sports conversation into something about movies or something he knows about,and the conversation gets derailed...
and it is crap that lagreca is not on the show title and you can tell he is really bitter about it
You almost have to do that or else you're sending the wrong message to drunk guys everywhere.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Oakley went on SAS and Fox5. SAS said he was informed by Oak and others that Dolan/MSG did not want him to take this public.
He'll care if the place starts emptying out.

Which will never happen.
Won't happen. Place will always fill up. I think the only thing that can fix this is the NBA stepping in. A total mess.
Hell fuck yes, to quote my old SDI. Let it be so.

So sad. Don't know what happened Wed. Do know Oak always had my back in locker room when not everyone was happy about a woman being there.
If he didn't care he wouldn't be on the fuckin Kay show right now explaining himself.
