A sign says facial recognition is used as a security measure to ensure safety for guests and employees. Conlon says she posed no threat, but the guards still kicked her out with the explanation that they knew she was an attorney.

"They knew my name before I told them. They knew the firm I was associated with before I told them. And they told me I was not allowed to be there," said Conlon.

"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," said Conlon.

But MSG said she was banned nonetheless — along with fellow attorneys in that firm and others.

we all know there’s a whole complex blend of social, aesthetic, habitual, network, chance elements that keep us typing here and scrolling. If they manage to wreck that, it’s over, just come find me or send a letter if you need to.

If Croatia and Morocco each get 4 players sent off today, the game is unable to be completed, the result is nul and void. If the same happens in the final, the trophy goes to the quarter finalist with the best disciplinary record! THAT HAPPENS TO BE ENGLAND.
