crass behavior at MSG?

Shocking, I tell you. Just shocking.

The NY Times reports today that some fans at NY Rangers games here at our own inimitable Madison Square Garden behave badly every now and then. Who would've thought that hockey fans, on occasion, might be prone to spontaneous, or not so spontaneous, homophobic outbursts?

The Garden, as it's affectionately known, has a history of bad behavior. Most recently there was the scandalous sexual harassment trial of Isiah Thomas, head coach for the rather abysmally performing Knicks. Then there was the sordid tale of a poor Rangers cheerleader, fired soon after complaining of being sexually solicited by a Rangers executive and culminating in an undisclosed settlement soon after Thomas was found guilty.

Maybe the good old boys down there at the Garden will figure out the world's moved on, and such miscreant behavior is no longer the status quo.
