But what can we offer the billionaire who has everything?From elderly computer hackers to riled up law students, fans have been trying to get Dolan to sell the team for pretty much as long as he’s owned it. These efforts have only succeeded in making Dolan more grumpy.But today, Dolan is pissing off the politicians who regulate him, and pissing away billions on a new venue in Vegas.

- 4 - Security StateJust as the Knicks start to gain some respectability on the court, Dolan finds a new way to squander any possible goodwill. He orders Garden security to use facial recognition to ban thousands of fans.But this dystopian technology is actually just the latest example of decades of strong arm tactics. The Dolan security state fights beloved players…as well as fans, celebrities, and the Girl Scouts. It’s an all out effort to protect Jim’s ego.

About Reign of Error
James Dolan was born into immense privilege. He could have done anything with his life. But he chose the family business — a cable television empire that came to include ownership of the New York Knicks, one of the most beloved franchises on earth. What happened from there is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Dolan didn't just lead the Knicks to disaster (and the worst record in the NBA in the 21st Century); he also built a laboratory of shame, dysfunction, and, well, unintentional hilarity. Join host David Greene as he unpacks this trainwreck, over 5 riveting episodes, while chasing the answer to one elusive question: Why the hell won't James Dolan just sell the team?
From SmartLess Media, and Campside Media, the company behind SUSPECT and CHAMELEON: WILD BOYS. REIGN OF ERROR is the series James Dolan doesn't want you to hear. Join the resistance today, by hitting play.
