New York City Mayor Mamdani has banned people from celebrating America’s 250th birthday in Times Square, and he’s using the excuse of the World Cup to do it.
New Yorkers are not happy about it:
New York is used to having large gatherings for games. I know it’s the World Cup, and it will be in New York the weekend of July 5th, but this is no excuse to ban gatherings in Times Square for such an occasion as America’s 250th birthday.
I don’t blame New Yorkers for being pissed, but this is what they get for voting that communist into office.
