The people who were denied access were not involved in the lawsuit they just worked for the same company. It would be like being denied access to Wendy's because you worked at mcdonald's.

What you're describing is already unacceptable. It's needlessly petty at best.

Besides, it's also different. This case is more like Pepsi refusing to sell to someone who once worked for an advertising firm that made a commercial for Coke. The person affected is not a Pepsi employee, nor have they done anything except their job. And that's still disregarding how weird/disturbing it is that MSG apparently has access to the facial recognition data to bar anyone working at specific companies and is allowed to use it at will.

It’s private property. You can legally be ejected by agents working under authority of the owner of the property for any reason short of discrimination based on race, religion, etc. If the property owner doesn’t like your face they need no other reason to have you booted.

It’s all James Dolan, the man who owns MSG and the teams that play there. He is notoriously petty, and this is exactly the kinda shit he’s known for doing
