WFAN is losing their minds over Empire State Building having Eagles colors Sunday night


Recommended Posts

You guys have no idea how hated the Eagles are in the Tri State area. They're public enemy #1 and I heard callers b******* about that today but the Gmen fans who are way nicer and cooler than Jet fans absolutely despise Philly.

Imagine if Miami blew us out in the Wildcard round and they lit buildings up downtown in Dolphins' colors as a tribute to them.

 

Yeah, that wouldn't play well here either. Not at all.

Seems pretty stupid to light the Empire State Building in the colors of a team from another state. NY leadership not the brightest so there you have it. 

 

We'll they do light it for the NJ Giants & NJ Jets, so there's precedent for the out of state teams.

Orange Niagara Falls. 
why anyone in NY NFCE 
weird trend this wrong color junk

 

Yeah I wasn't a fan of orange Niagara Falls before our game. Like cool the comradery over the Damar Hamlin thing but are you not hearing the bengals fans bitching that we should have just forfeited like 10 days later?

No, the ESB

 

Right, which is in NYS.  So would Philly light up their city for the Bills?  

 

Obviously not.  So why is NYC lighting theirs up for the Eagles.  Let Philly light up their own city.  ... probably shouldn't say that too loudly.  LOL

The NYC Dept of Sanitation had the best response (their colors are green and white too):

No, you misunderstood what I said. My question was, would the ESB light up for a Bills championship? If they did it for the stupid Eagles, they better do if for the Bills if we were finally blessed to win a SB

I've been listening to WFAN today and the biggest topic of conversation is that last night after the Eagles won the NFC, they lit the Empire State Building in Eagles colors.  Hosts & callers are complaining about a Philadelphia team being celebrated in NYC.  

 

Best caller was the guy who said he'll never step foot in the Empire State Building again.  

 

What is difference between colors for a NJ team and a PA team?  Both are out of state teams.

I hear ya, I got it.  I bet they would if they're lighting it up for the Eagles.  

 

I was merely putting the shoe on the other foot from a cities perspective.  Why is NY/NYC putting up the colors for another city at all.   

 

The geographical proximity between NYC and Philly isn't much different that between Philly and Balt/DC, Pitt and Cleveland, Cinci and Indy, e.g.  I don't see any of those places putting up the colors of those teams.  It's just weird I thought.  

 

We're on the same sheet, just two different angles.

It’s a proximity thing I’m sure. Since NYC doesn’t have an NFL franchise. Philly isn’t that far from NYC. 

 

Before Daboll went to the Giants an argument could have been made that NJ doesn't have an NFL team either.

Supporting the NFC East!

 

or just hating KC ?

They put up the Chiefs colors after the Chiefs won the AFC later that night, but hardly anybody was upset by that.  The whining was all about the Eagles on WFAN.
