Inside James Dolan's Deep State
The all-seeing eye of James Dolan — notorious owner of the Knicks and Rangers — has been caught in glimpses.
But a new WIRED investigation, revealed in collaboration with Pablo Torre Finds Out, lifts the veil on the Orwellian scope (and occasional clown show) of MSG security: from The Garden and the Sphere to the streets of New York and out across America.
The sales pitch, of course, had been “safety.”
Because “terrorism.”
But for the first time, we hear from spooked insiders; read snooping group chats; scour a second-by-second confidential report; and view the facial-recognition database, itself.
It’s… a lot.
And it is incredibly strange.
