Knicks' parent company Madison Square Garden issues statement weeks after George Floyd's killing

NEW YORK -- Eight days after Knicks owner James Dolan sent an email to the staff explaining why the Madison Square Garden Company would not publicly comment on the outrage following George Floyd's death, the company has issued a statement.

On Tuesday, the Knicks team account tweeted a statement from the Madison Square Garden Sports and entertainment companies, saying "Every one of us has a role to play in creating a more just and equal society, where there is no racism, bigotry, violence or hate. We stand with all who act for positive change."

The statement comes the same day as Floyd's funeral in Houston.
