Brooklyn Trash Talk: De Blasio disses Nets, team claps back with tweet
‘If You Want to See Some Real Grit, Our Doors Are Always Open.’
Barclays Center is primarily known for being the home of the Nets and Islanders, but the arena is also recognized for hosting premier boxing matches.
And a heavyweight bout could be in the works following a feud that started this week between Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Brooklyn Nets.
At a town hall on Tuesday in Queens, de Blasio fielded several questions from attendees. One resident wearing a Nets jacket began to ask about traffic safety when the mayor interrupted him.
“I’m from Brooklyn too, but this Brooklyn Nets idea has not been working out as it was planned,” de Blasio said. “So I admire you for sticking with them.”
