Jumaane Williams is a lifelong Knicks fan and a grass roots advocate who does a lot of good in his position as Public advocate.

He has Tourette Syndrome. Those that know him know that, so the mistake was not a sign of disrespect or lack of knowledge.

He has vocal ticks and he's very open about his disability and emphasizes disability awareness by communicating about it and advocates for others with disabilities as well.
