The Knicks are staying out of politics.
The White House removed a social-media post that used an altered Knicks logo to mock Zohran Mamdani after the team reached out, according to Front Office Sports.
The logo had been edited to read “Trump Is Your President.”
“The Knicks remain neutral on political matters,” the Knicks told FOS in a statement. “We hope all our elected officials, whether current or recently elected, do a great job in office.”
The White House shared the image after Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race over Andrew Cuomo, whom Trump had urged his base to vote for. Its removal was said to be voluntary.
The Knicks previously sent a cease-and-desist letter to Mamdani over his use of an altered logo that read “New York Zohran.”
Cuomo and Mamdani both attended Knicks games as they campaigned, with Cuomo sitting courtside for last month’s season opener and Mamdani sitting in the nosebleeds on Sunday.
