Susan Says Knicks Va Spurs Harassment Ended Yankees Gear Plans

knicks va spurs turned tense for Chris and Susan in New York on Monday night, when the San Antonio couple said a group of men verbally harassed them while they were at the Yankees-Red Sox game. The couple said they were wearing Yankees gear, not Spurs clothing, when the exchange began.

Yankees Gear In New York

Susan said the men were speaking in Spanish in a mocking tone. “We were verbally harassed by a group of men who were, I guess, Knicks fans, and they looked at us, and they were speaking in Spanish in a mocking tone,” she said.

She said the group circled them and kept repeating, “Knicks in 4, Knicks in 4.” Chris and Susan said they were not wearing anything that referenced the Spurs. Before the trip, they had packed their Victor Wembanyama jerseys anyway.

Bryant Park At Capacity

The couple had planned to go to a watch party in Bryant Park on Monday night, but the entrance was already at capacity when they arrived. Susan, who lived in New York for 14 years, said the area felt wrong as they tried to figure out where to watch the game.

“We just saw that there was like this dangerous element of, you know, a group of younger people that were looking for trouble, and you could just tell that it was not going to end well for some people,” she said. They tried a bar next, but everywhere was packed, so they went back to their hotel.

Tim Duncan Jersey Sighting

On the way back, they saw a Spurs fan wearing a Tim Duncan jersey heading toward Bryant Park. Susan said, “I was wearing my Meta glasses, which can capture video and cameras,” and added, “I took a quick picture of him just cause I was proud of him.”

Chris said, “I’m like, ‘oh my gosh, there comes this guy wearing this jersey,’” and later, “He zoomed past us, and he was heading toward Bryant Park, and I was like, I kind of felt sorry for him because he was headed into a hornet’s nest.” The next day, they said they saw the same man in a video circulating on social media, as several viral clips showed Spurs fans being attacked after the team’s win in New York Monday night.

Susan said the couple had been warned before leaving not to wear Spurs gear, and the sequence of events changed their mind. “We knew not wearing our jerseys was a wise choice,” she said.
