NY Rangers Fan Accused of Workplace Harassment
5 Aug
Summary
- A superfan is named in a lawsuit for alleged unwanted physical contact.
- The accuser claims retaliation after reporting the fan's behavior.
- The lawsuit alleges a pattern of persistent and unwelcome advances.
Larry Goodman, a long-time New York Rangers fan affectionately known as "Dancing Larry," has been added as a defendant in a workplace discrimination lawsuit. The suit, filed by a former member of the Rangers' "Blue Crew" hype team, Miranda Tyson, alleges Goodman subjected team members to persistent and unwelcome physical contact. Tyson, who is nonbinary, claims they experienced retaliation after reporting Goodman's behavior, leading to their exclusion from the 2025-26 season roster.
According to the amended complaint, Goodman engaged in an "invasive pattern of physical contact" with non-male Blue Crew members, including touching their heads, necks, shoulders, backs, arms, and hands. Tyson reported these incidents to management in March 2024, resulting in Goodman's temporary removal from his segment. However, Goodman reportedly returned after a human resources investigation. Tyson alleges further unwanted contact occurred in February 2025, despite prior complaints, with Goodman's alleged actions described as "willful and knowing."
