Knicks Fans Aren’t Happy That Only Vaccinated Fans Will Be Able To Attend Playoff Games

New York Knicks fans completely took over the dynamic at Madison Square Garden for the first two games of the series with the Atlanta Hawks.

The fans were constantly taunting Hawks guard Trae Young, and flooded the streets of New York after the team evened up the series at one game apiece following Game 2.

Unfortunately for fans who are against the COVID vaccine, they will no longer be allowed to be involved with the party at MSG if the team makes it into the second round.

The Knicks announced that only vaccinated fans will be allowed to attend games going forward.

To no one’s surprise, fans aren’t taking the news so well.

Now, some Knicks fans are excited that this will give the vaccinated fans a chance to pack the place. But we’ll be hearing the wrath of the anti-vaxxer sports fans for a long while.

I think other teams are bound to follow the Knicks’ plan. And more people are bound to get fed up.

What a crazy world we’re living in right now…let’s just hope a good majority of the population takes the vaccine, and we get back to normal life with no restrictions very soon.
