A New Video Allegedly Shows That James Dolan Personally Ordered Security To Eject Charles Oakley From MSG And Gave A Thumbs Up After They Did
NYDN- James Dolan ordered Charles Oakley’s ugly ejection from Madison Square Garden last year and then gave a “thumbs up” after the fracas, court papers argue, citing new arena security footage.
Moments before the beloved Knick’s confrontation broadcast on national television, Dolan is seen chatting with a security official and then giving him a signal, Oakley’s attorney Douglas Wigdor writes in new papers filed Thursday. “From the moment he takes his seat Mr. Oakley can be seen laughing and casually interacting with fans. Nowhere is there evidence that he was acting as belligerently as (Dolan and MSG) falsely claim,” papers submitted by Wigdor read.
“During a stoppage in play, Defendant Dolan can be seen summoning a security guard and speaking to him at length. … Within seconds of Defendant Dolan’s gesture, the security guard gathered other security personnel who proceeded to surround Mr. Oakley and throw him out of the Arena.” Once the notorious melee has ended and security guards take Oakley, 54, into a tunnel to be arrested, Dolan appears to give a “thumbs up,” according to papers.
Wait, wait, wait. Is the Daily News trying to tell me that James Dolan acted like a cowardly movie villain and threw someone out because he was afraid of them then went full Emperor Commodus with a thumbs up gesture once his foot soldiers carried things out?
Why I never! That’s not the courageous, upstanding James Dolan we all know and love like know!
Truth be told, this will likely be a He Said, Ewok Said situation unless we can get some professional lip readers on the case. And even then, Dolan will likely figure out a way to drag this through the legal system and toss as much money at the situation to prevent taking an L in courtroom to go with his vault of Ls from the basketball court. My opinion on the matter is that if Charles Oakley wanted to hit James Dolan, James Dolan would be nothing but worm food resting 6 feet below the ground right now. You know how I know that?
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
and Exhibit C:
If Charles Oakley has no problem smacking the shit out of full grown NBA players, he sure as fuck as has no problem smacking that silver spoon out of some frumpy asshole sitting courtside.
There is one man’s testimony however that could break this whole case wide open. And I for one am DYING to hear it.
