A view is what can be seen in a range of vision, as described in the Seeing section of The senses. View may also be used as a synonym of point of view in the first sense. View may also be used figuratively or with special significance—for example, to imply a scenic outlook or special vantage point:
The barrier Rhine hath flashed, through battle-smoke, On men who gaze heart-smitten by the view, As if all Germany had felt the shock!
- from The Germans on the Heights of Hochheim (1816) by William Wordsworth
In satellite communications, the view is the quality or degree of visibility of a satellite to a ground station; i.e., the degree to which the satellite is sufficiently above the horizon and clear of obstructions so that it is within the line-of-sight of an Earth terminal. See also mutual view. Sources: Federal Standard 1037C and MIL-STD-188
A common, tongue-in-cheek statement is that the Knicks have replaced the Los Angeles Clippers as a Leno/Letterman punchline, as the Clippers' formerly inept team is now a playoff contender with young and talented players, while the Knicks have become the poorly-run team of perennial losers.
Many fans in and around the New York City area have viewed the coaching change as being one step closer to their ultimate wish: to see Thomas, and owner Dolan, be fired and sell the team, respectively.
During the 2006 NBA Draft, a very vocal group of Knicks fans were shown during the ESPN telecast booing at the team's first first-round selection, Renaldo Balkman, and considered Balkman to be a bad pick, especially considering that a projected lottery pick (Marcus Williams) still was available at the time.
