There was something I didn’t want to talk about until after the season was over. Now that it is, I have to ask:

What the actual hell is wrong with some of these people?

The Knicks just won the NBA Championship for the first time in over 50 years.

This should have been a moment of celebration.

People gathering with friends and family. Fans cheering in the streets. Watching interviews. Buying championship merchandise. Enjoying a historic moment for a franchise that has experienced decades of heartbreak.

Instead, some people decided that the appropriate response was…rioting?

Destroying property?

Causing chaos?

Seriously. What the fuck?

I genuinely don’t understand it.

At first, I thought people only rioted when their teams lost. You hear stories about fans getting angry after devastating defeats, making emotional decisions, and unfortunately taking things way too far.

But rioting after your team wins?

That makes even less sense to me.

Your team accomplished the thing you’ve been hoping for.

They won.

You got the outcome you wanted.

Why is the response to start damaging things?

I just don’t understand the mindset behind it.

And honestly, I think rioting over sports in general is pretty fucking stupid.

Win or lose.

I understand being passionate about your team. Sports bring people together. They create memories. They give fans something to rally around. I completely understand celebrating, being excited, crying tears of joy, hugging strangers, chanting in the streets, and embracing the moment.

That part makes sense.

But there’s a massive difference between celebrating and destroying.

There’s a difference between enthusiasm and recklessness.

There’s a difference between being excited and causing harm.

Burning things, damaging property, fighting people, climbing structures, vandalizing public spaces, or creating dangerous situations isn’t “being passionate.”

It’s just irresponsible.

And the unfortunate reality is that when these incidents happen, they often overshadow what should have been a positive moment.

Instead of people talking exclusively about an incredible championship run, conversations shift toward the chaos that followed.

That’s frustrating because the overwhelming majority of Knicks fans probably celebrated responsibly.

Most people likely watched the game, celebrated with family and friends, posted on social media, maybe went out to enjoy the atmosphere, and then went home.

But it only takes a relatively small number of people making bad decisions to create headlines and shape public perception.

And honestly, I don’t think this is even a Knicks problem specifically.

This happens with sports teams all over the world.

Soccer teams.

Basketball teams.

Football teams.

Hockey teams.

Whether teams win or lose, there always seems to be a small group of people who decide that chaos is somehow an acceptable part of the experience.

I don’t get it.

I probably never will.

You can love your team without destroying your city.

You can celebrate without creating danger for other people.

You can be passionate without being destructive.

And if a sports game, regardless of the outcome, pushes someone to the point where they think damaging property and causing chaos is a reasonable response, then maybe they need to step back and reevaluate things.

Because at the end of the day, sports are supposed to bring enjoyment.

They’re supposed to unite communities.

They’re supposed to create happy memories.

Not give people an excuse to act recklessly.

The Knicks winning the championship after decades of waiting should have been a story about perseverance, loyalty, and celebration.

For most fans, I think it was.

But for the people who decided that celebration meant destruction?

I genuinely have one question:

Why?

Because I honestly don’t understand it.

Congratulations to the Knicks on an incredible season.

And to everyone celebrating responsibly: enjoy the moment.

You’ve waited a long time for this.

Just maybe leave the city intact while doing it.
