The frustration among Dallas Mavericks fans has reached unprecedented levels, spilling over into unexpected venues. Over the weekend, chants of “Fire Nico” erupted during a Medieval Times horse show in Dallas, marking yet another instance of fans voicing their displeasure with Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison.
The chants, which have become a recurring theme at various Dallas sports events, highlight the ongoing backlash following the controversial trade of Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Medieval Times dinner theater became an unlikely stage for the protest. As knights jousted and horses performed, a section of the audience began chanting “Fire Nico,” catching the attention of other attendees and even some of the performers.

This latest protest follows similar incidents at Dallas Stars games, FC Dallas matches, and obviously Mavericks games at the American Airlines Center. The “Fire Nico” movement has gained significant traction on social media, with fans organizing protests and expressing their dissatisfaction with the Mavericks’ front office.
The trade of Luka Dončić, a beloved superstar and cornerstone of the franchise, has been a sore point for fans. While the Mavericks’ management has defended the move as a strategic decision to reshape the team’s future, the team’s struggles on the court and Kyrie Irving’s season-ending injury have only fueled the discontent.
