The New York Knicks winning the NBA Finals was a tremendous accomplishment for the organization and its players, while also bringing a joyous end to the team's long championship drought for fans.
It was also an excuse for those same fans to engage in some, well, typically New York behavior in the aftermath and celebrations. Particularly during the celebratory parade that went down the city's "Canyon of Heroes" corridor on June 18.
Fans climbed atop cars, garbage trucks and just about any elevated surface for a better view. But nobody attracted more attention than a woman who spotted a Knicks-colored trash can and promptly dumped its contents onto the street.
On Tuesday night, the New York Post reported that the woman had been identified as Angie Baez, a 40-year-old financial industry executive. Seriously. The Post's report identified her LinkedIn profile, listing her as "Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase."
Her previous work included serving as "Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" at The Infatuation, a website which reviews restaurants and neighborhood activities. Chase purchased the site in 2021 to grow its portfolio of lifestyle-based content for cardholders.
The Post then contacted JPMorgan Chase, which confirmed that Baez had been fired, saying in a statement, "This employee is no longer with the company."

I can hear Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPM saying to underling, hire some DEI director, it’s cheaper than putting with liberals slamming us for not being diverse enough.
Banks and Bankers are not exactly high on the list of most admired professions.
And it ain’t gonna get any better in big cities either...
The latest version of the Judge Dredd movie “Dredd” 2012 is a gritty, dystopian sci-fi action film starring Karl Urban as Judge Dredd, in a violent, futuristic Mega-City.
Every now and then Hollywood comes out with a movie that somehow accurately depicts the future, this one is what American cities will look like in the not too distant future.
And it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
She needed a pasta strainer.
What is that?
Can you imagine her meltdown if someone tried to take that can away from her? Knock down, drag out Battle Royale!
A person in need of a friend. Want to come look at my cool trash bin?
That I stole!
“In the old days, fans of a victorious team would be happy and celebrate.”
In the old days bystanders witnessing this would have made the beast clean it back up and then beat the shit out of it.
“Any leftover cheeseburgers in here?”

“But now she has a Knicks colored trash can for decoration in her apartment.”
In her cardboard box.
It was looking for food. I work withe they/them and it is not fun.
Seems unfair; just when she found a big enough popcorn container.
Stupid Chase buying crappy websites to expand their debit card business?
i especially like the pic of her grinning on the subway with her trophy ...
Its clear, just looking at her, that she herself was a DEI hire.
Karl Urban wears the helmet all the way through that movie. I liked him as an actor until The Boys on Amazon was ruined.
I mean, why not just buy one?
“why not just buy one?”
C’mon man......you know the first rule of being a woke dei is you’re entitled to free stuff!
IOW socialism.
