Lets talk about something I know all New Jerseyites, Jersians, or whatever we're called have undoubtedly thought about at least once or twice in our lifetimes regarding sports. Why don't we have any real sports teams? When I say "real" I mean it in a sense where hockey doesn't count, sorry NJ Devils, but I'm talking about football, baseball, basketball, and what the hell, even soccer. The closest thing we've had to a real team moved over the river into Brooklyn this past year and for some reason have decided to be a descent team once they left NJ. Do we have some sort of curse or something? Its almost as if New York gets the better end of the deal no matter what.
Lets not even mention the fact that New York has 2 baseball teams (Jersey has 0), 3 football teams (Jersey 0), 2 basketball teams (Jersey 0), 3 hockey teams (Jersey 1) then again who cares, and even a MLS soccer team. That's 11, yes 11 Professional teams to NJ's 1. Not to mention that The Jets, Giants, AND Redbulls all play in Jersey. Whats going on here?! Are we to settle for zero sporting representation while New York takes all the glory? It's as if all sports fans from New Jersey are stuck in some sort of limbo whereas the northern half is forced to root for New York teams, while the southern half roots for team from Philadelphia. This is an unfair epidemic dividing our wonderful state into two separate warring sporting factions. We deserve sports unity. I suggest the Jets, Redbulls, Nets, and Mets simply adopt the NJ brand and move over the border, if they aren't already on our territory. I mean the Jets suck, so do the Mets, who likes soccer anyway, and the Nets were ours first. It seems like a logical deal. New York still gets to keep the Yankees and Giants...c'mon.
