Just because the MAGA owner is going does not mean the team members are going. Why would a professional athlete want to soil their reputation by being photographed with Trump?

I am sure some will skip it either because of a "scheduling conflict", "illness" for simple "no thank you.". If attending is some kind of condition of employment from maga owner it's a different calculation.

And obviously that is not all athletes. If you compete for a maga team or in maga market or are a cage fighter or something, you might get better endorsement deals if you do go. But for the New York market? I don't see how that helps these players financially in any way.

Right. These players are already legends in NYC. Turning down an invite from Trump will make them even more legendary.

I doubt there will be any political rhetoric around declining the invitation. Why does Trump get to turn everything into over politicized crap. They cannot control that they were put in this awkward position. It seems wiser to just say " sorry but I can't go".

I can't imagine Brunson, KAT, Hart, OG, Bridges and so on would squander all that goodwill by participating in Trump propaganda. The entire city would so disappointed in them.

Shohei Ohtani, Saquon Barkley, Clayton Kershaw, Mookie Betts, and Dallas Goedert all visited Trump recently after winning titles and LA and Philly still love them and their teams. It takes more than an awful president and silly politics to separate sports cities from their beloved teams and athletes. Grow up, people. If super stars want to take advantage of an opportunity to visit The White House and meet an American President, STFU and MYOFB you bunch of crybaby MAGA acting like fruitcakes.

Not sure. MLB is a big Maga sport. NFL probably more Maga than NBA as well. Obviously every player makes their own calculation. The New York Knicks player calculation is the New York Knicks player calculation. It may not have enough similarities with those other players and sports and markets for the same decision to make sense.

Absolutely. The point was that athletes performing in the New York market will make this decision for their circumstances . If other athletes in other sports in other markets decide to go visit with Trump, good for them, but it doesn't mean that that decision will necessarily work for somebody else.

Each player will make the decision that works for them. Each player will either go or not go and every supporter will have their own reaction to it.

Karens see it as a "visit with Trump". Normal people and sports fans see it as championship teams celebrating with the routine trip to The White House to be officially acknowledged by the POTUS and Federal Government. That's the difference. Stop being a selfish all up in everyone else's business MAGA nut job.

Ok, you let some politician crap all over and disrespect your city and its people and then you go running off to give him a photo op with you and your championship trophy. Sorry but some people may have more respect for themselves.

Queens is most definitely part of New York City. Even though they produced this brute, they rejected him and they would know. His only option is Staten Island.

If one or two players says they can't go then it's a scheduling conflict. If they all say they can't go then it's obvious why - even if they don't say the quiet part out loud.
