New York Knicks owner James Dolan 'couldn’t even do the least,' writes JeffZillgitt for usatodaysports.

If you didn’t go with James Dolan of the New York Knicks, you haven’t been paying attention.Dolan instead sent a message to Madison Square Garden employees: “As companies in the business of sports and entertainment, however, we are not any more qualified than anyone else to offer our opinion on social matters.”

This isn’t difficult. Even a bland statement would work. Several NBA teams did just that while still expressing outrage at racism and inequality and injustice. Dolan couldn’t even do the least.told league employees, “As a league, we share the outrage and offer our sincere condolences to their families and friends.

It’s clear he’s not listening, which is the one thing I’ve heard most over the past week. Listen to what black Americans are saying. It is impossible for me to know their pain and struggle, but I can empathize and show support. Let them know Black Lives Matter.
