Holy crap.
New York Knicks owner James Dolan has tested positive for coronavirus.
The Madison Square Garden Company Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Dolan has tested positive for coronavirus. He has been in self-isolation and is experiencing little to no symptoms. He continues to oversee business operations.

Dolan owns MSG, which includes the Knicks and New York Rangers. I hope he’s resting up and not doing too much actual work overseeing those business operations.
Obviously this is a sensitive subject for Knicks fans. As my mom taught me, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
I will say this: Dolan has been taking care of his employees during this crisis. He just hasn’t been sending out a bunch of press releases like other owners.
Not everyone is doing this so James Dolan paying Garden and Radio City staff workers from March 12th to May 3 plus setting up a $3.2M relief fund is generous offering. Union heads are very pleased.

So get well soon, James Dolan.
