Joseph Tsai is set to oversee plenty of monumental events at the Barclays Center over the coming years. None may be more impactful than the current events engaging while the arena’s doors remain closed.
In an interview with Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News, Tsai, the owner of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and WNBA’s New York Liberty, expressed his support for the ongoing nationwide protests and demonstrations against racial inequality and police brutality toward African-Americans. Such displays in Brooklyn have congregated at Barclays, the 17,000-seat arena on Atlantic Avenue.
