Lololol

They'll get over it

:smiles in gritty:

I mean I get it. I wouldn’t wanna see center city lit up for the Giants. What the fuck were they thinking lol.

They should have doubled down on pissing off giants’ fans. They should have said it had nothing to do with the eagles, they just decided the jets were the official football team of nyc.

As a neutral NFL fan (Ravens) this is hilarious. Go Birds 🦅

I appreciate both the gesture and the ire of the fans of the two New Jersey NFL teams.

I would love if some backstory came out that the supe is from philly.

My money is on a building manager from philly

They celebrate when those NJ football teams win, too

Don’t they do it for every team that gets in?

EDIT: Yes, they do. Every year. For every championship team and every winner lol

EDIT 2: Chiefs pics from last night here: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/eagles-super-bowl-berth-celebrated-by-the-empire-state-building (scroll down)

Didn't do it for KC.

They did though:

EDIT: Also this funny tweet from ESB - https://i.imgur.com/dPJcyTm.jpg

Yeah. They did it for both the Chiefs and Eagles.

I feel like they do it every year? Like this story is giving me some kind of deja vu

They do. For every team that gets into and wins championships lol

Theyve been saving the jets colors for so long, they said eff it and used em...

I don't get why you would celebrate a winning team that wasn't from your hometown.

Funny thing is they did double down. I saw a reply to it last night that went "it should've been you" lmao

That’s the sort of goblin energy I like to see out of iconic historic architecture

I lived and worked in NYC for about a decade, and it's a well established fact that NYC, especially in Manhattan, are mostly transplants from another city. Giants play in New Jersey anyways. Go birds!

🦅🦅🦅 😂😂😂take that New Yorkers!

If they didn't want to see Philly things, they should stop moving here. /s because they do this for every team.

Haha F NY

Wow, the least controversial reason possible haha

Good sportsmanship (as long as it's not Dallas)?

Fuck Dallas

I fully agree w/ New Yorkers here. Can you imagine Billy Penn wearing a Giants or Jets jersey (put on by our city not the other team's fans)?

I'm guessing there's an Empire State Building worker who grew up in Philly. Or an ex-Empire State Building worker :)

It’s because the building (and a lot of Manhattan) see themselves as representing “the US”, not NYC locals. Same reason why they light up with US President winners even if they’re massively unpopular in NYC.

The Super Bowl is a national event so they’ll celebrate whoever wins just like Qatar lit up their skyscrapers with Argentina even though Qatar did terribly

> Can you imagine Billy Penn wearing a Giants or Jets jersey

There would be an arson attempt on city hall, and the jury would acquit.

fuck the giants and fuck the jets they play in jersey

Keep that same energy if the sixers end up in jersey lol

Yeah but for NY fans, seeing Philly represented hits different.

King Kong was just an Eagles fan who mistook the Empire State Building for a light pole. Had they had the foresight to grease it, he never would have climbed it.

Now the King Kong movie makes sense!!!!!
I should cross post to TIL .

Hey I’m from joisey! Are you from joisey!?!?

They do it for every team regardless of location. Surprisingly wholesome, really.

They do it for every team, not just Philly.

no, fortunately i am not

This makes me happy knowing how many NY'ers it pissed off.

Just because that’s the way something is doesn’t mean you have to like it lol

I just figured they wanted an east coast win?

their socials are pretty good. their tik tok account "talks shit" on other nyc skyscrapers - it's fucking hilarious.
