"Mayor Zohran Mamdani was pictured watching soccer at a Brooklyn bar on Sunday alongside iconic film director Spike Lee. The longtime Arsenal fan was spotted cheering on the Premier League soccer team as they beat their London rivals West Ham to move a step closer to clinching their first title in two decades. Wearing a black jacket over a black-and-red soccer jersey, Mamdani was photographed next to fellow Gunners fan Spike Lee at Fancy Free, a bar in Brooklyn's trendy Fort Greene neighborhood."
"Lee, who was seen supporting the Knicks in their Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, was wearing an Arsenal jersey and a Yankees hat. The pair were both seen smiling as fellow punters took pictures of them. Cellphone footage shows other soccer fans cheering Mamdani as he walked up to Lee and embraced him. The pair were spotted at Fancy Free, a bar in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. James Franey for NY Post"
""Oh, Zohran Mamdani!" some of the bar-goers sang to the tune of the White Stripes' hit "Seven Nation Army," aping the same chant that supporters of British leftist Jeremy Corbyn sang during his disastrous time as leader of the Labour Party. Mamdani and Lee have been spotted watching Arsenal games at the same bar before in Fort Greene, close to Lee's home. In September, before his election victory, Mamdani shared pictures of himself and Lee watching the game and posing with supporters in front of a mural celebrating Lee's iconic movie, "Do the Right Thing.""
"Sunday's game was a bad-tempered affair, but ended in a victory for Arsenal as they moved closer to the Premier League title. The Gunners are now four points clear of second-place Manchester City as they look to win their first title since 2004. Mamdani has shown his support for the British soccer giants in the past, including fanboying when he received a congratulations video from former Arsenal"
