Dennis Rodman has made one too many trips to North Korea. He has gotten a little too cozy with the North Korea regime and their ruthless dictator, and the New York service industry is instituting a lifetime on the former NBA player.
The Old HomeStead SteakHouse is advocating the lifetime ban to all its business, and the organization is asking all other service industries to follow suit.
This, according to their Facebook page.
No food — or hotel rooms — for you. Self-proclaimed ambassador to North Korea Dennis Rodman made a living on the basketball court swatting away shots of opponents. Now an iconic restaurant in New York’s Meatpacking District, one of Rodman’s favorite neighborhoods when he’s here, wants the entire NYC hospitality industry to reject Rodman whenever he blows into the Big Apple.
Old Homestead Steakhouse, the iconic meatery on Ninth Ave., wants all restaurants, hotels and nightclubs to sign a statement pledging they will ban Rodman for life. The pledge will be on Old Homestead’s website this week. Anyone in America can sign to show support for the Rodman ban.
“Let him see what it’s like to starve and to sleep out in the cold – exactly what his dictator pal is doing to millions of people. It’s too late for apologies,” said Old Homestead co-owner Greg Sherry.
This is not the first time the Meat Mecca rejected an NBA player. When Kevin Garnett, at the time a Boston Celtic, disrespected Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony — saying that his wife, LaLa tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios, Old Homestead banned Garnett, who now plays for the Brooklyn Nets, from the restaurant and even put a special entree on the menu for Melo. (Rodman was tossed from Serafina in The Time Hotel after his first trip from North Korea after mouthing off about how great Kim Jong Un is. Rodman is known to frequent high-profile strip clubs when he stays in New York.)
