For such a storied franchise, the past decade or so has not been easy for the New York Knicks faithful. So much so that a die-hard Knicks fan has had enough, and has now put his fanhood up for auction on eBay.
A tweet from Knicks Film School has so graciously pointed us in the direction of what is easily the funniest thing you'll see all day. A man who goes by the user name evanperl is literally selling his loyalty to the Knicks to the highest bidder.

However comical as it may sound, the fact that this person put in so much time and effort in detailing the history of his love/hate relationship with the Knicks seems to point to the fact that he is actually serious about this.
The fan has even listed a catalog of the things he intends to do if someone actually ends up buying his fanhood. This includes wholeheartedly cheering for the buyer's new team of choosing, watching all of the team's games (including two live games), and even burning at least three pieces of Knicks memorabilia of his possession.
The fan went to the extent of writing a 2,000-word essay detailing his fallout with the Knicks, which was 17 years in the making. For him, the tipping point was this year's recently-concluded draft. Below is an excerpt from the write-up:
“Which takes us to [Draft Night], which goes the same as every year, a day filled with hope… While the pride and joy of the class coming out of high school still remains because of an injury, the former #1 ranked Michael Porter. Cleveland picks one pick before us, surely they will go Porter… they go Sexton! We get Porter!!!! All you have to do is call the name that thousands of fans are chanting. It’s a lay-up. But it’s a Charles Smith lay-up, because we are the absolutely atrocious New York Knicks. We clank it, we somehow pass on Porter who should in no way, shape, or form possibly be there at #9 with his upside. We choose Kevin Knox, who in best case scenario is a poor mans Jayson Tatum on some of the offensive end, plays a James Harden level of defense, and in an absolutely loaded Kentucky team filled with multiple draft picks, somehow managed 53 assists on the entire year, with 85 turnovers. Let’s not forget that he’s only 18 years old, so when he does suck, we will simply just say, but he’s soo young.”
For those interested, here's the link to the eBay page. Hilarious.
