Its there in black and white....

Ahhh........
The old us NJ's v. them NY's over the statue is ours or theirs by virtue of where Liberty Island is situated.

I think we might as well add the NY Giants and NY Jets to this discussion.
Oh wait.....dear me.....how silly.......NY, go ahead and keep the Jets.

. I always forget the Bills. Amazing how NY has 3 football teams, two of which share a home stadium in NJ and NJ has 0 teams. Now I don't care who you are, there is something wrong with that picture!

But it's been so long, it just the norm now.
