Disgusting look. It's one thing when we bicker amongst ourselves (fans of NY teams vs. fans of other NY teams), but Philly absolutely despises us and all of our teams.

Then don’t comment about the Eagle fanbase because that’s who you rooted for. Rough look.

It is owned by the Empire State Realty Trust. Anthony Malkin is the Chairman, President, CEO of the Trust. Someone needs to give him a reality check about NY Giants vs Phil shitbag Eagles Team since this is not the first time this has happened.

Yeah, this is true at least for Manhattan which after all is what we all think about when we think of NYC. So many transplants from all over the US and world. I remember a friend visiting NYC from the Midwest in Jan 2012 and saying town must be going crazy over Giants and I was like, uh, no. And he told me he saw almost no Giants gear in the few days he was there.

Not a rough look at all. I don't know a single Yankee fan who rooted for Houston. Right now they're arguably a bigger rival than the Red Sox. Its not like it was enjoyable rooting for the Phillies, lesser of two evils.
