Wrong sub, half of NJ is Eagles country

Totally. If you drive down Rt 1, at a certain point, I believe around Princeton, you'll see the billboards for Dunkin' switch from Giants to Eagles with in a mile.

And you are in a NJ sub and rooting for a Philly team? A team from another state.

I mean I knew Eagles fans were stupid, but this is impressively stupid.

Ah yes. The good Ole New Jersey Giants. NJ's favorite home team. Just like the New Jersey Jets.

And! If you display anything that would say NJ Giants or NJ Jets, they will confiscate it and maybe even throw you out!

NYKallDay123 t1_j5ffnh7 wrote

if this is supposed to be a knock in the Giants, many teams stadiums are not in the actual city of the team, and why does that even matter if it’s still close

petalesdejuin t1_j5ffsh1 wrote

Because you’re paying the taxes for that stadium for a team who won’t even rep jersey 🥲

MetLife Stadium was actually built without any public funding

UnconstrictedEmu t1_j5fqrsz wrote

MetLife is also closer to its namesake city than the other teams who don’t play in their actual cities. Hell, Santa Clara where the 49ers actually play is 45 miles away from San Francisco.

The devil is in the details. By doing so they cut the city off from being able to have any opportunity for shared revenue in parking and accommodations.

The super bowl also cost the state $36 million in taxpayer money. The average tax revenue from the stadium itself is about $6 million.

And now we have the world cup to consider that will cost $14 million to prepare the stadium and a $5 million revolving credit account for the organization planning the renovations.

It's kind of like buying a horse. If I bought you a horse and convinced you to just pay for upkeep while I profit from whatever I use the horse for...well then I've fucked you.

Not to mention we are in a NJ sub with Eagles fans criticizing the Giants for being from another state. Rooting for the Eagles, a team from another state.

Philly fans are so dumb.

This guy is the most butt hurt sore loser I've seen in a minute lmao! You went from mocking fly eagles fly, went to your cave to cry at half, and came back calling everyone from Philly dumb. Bro, you should just log off reddit for a few weeks. You're going to have a mental breakdown, if not already

The giants couldn’t get NY to build them a stadium but conned NJ into doing it.

Seems to fit to me.

You, you understand things clearly.

NYKallDay123 t1_j5fg11q wrote

Because the only thing NJ about the team is the stadium? It’s not the Foxborough Patriots or the Arlington Cowboys. The team represents New York and has a New York fan base.

They overachieved, gave us a good ride, have a much improved outlook and will likely continue to improve next year. Go Niners today. Next week go anybody but Cowgirls and Ickles. Likewise in the Super Bowl.

Giants fans have zero to be upset about. They should have been content with a 7-10 season given the shake up in the off season.

Instead they made it to the divisional rounds of the playoffs with a hodgepodge team and a blown budget. Giant fans should be ecstatic about their season. Jones went from 2020&2021 butter fingers McGee to showing that after like 3 fails QB/offensive systems that he can still develop and significantly improve. Seriously, Giants fans should be over the moon right now.

That said, Philly fans are the worst and deserve nothing. Go grease some lamp posts.
