N.Y. Fans Furious At Empire State Building For Celebrating Patriots’ Title Skyscraper Shines In Rival's Colors After Super Bowl XLIX Win; Locals: What? Why?!  NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — If it weren’t for the Seahawk’s ill-fated play call late in the fourth quarter, some would be calling this the worst decision in the history of the Super Bowl. We’re talking about the Empire State Building lighting up in Patriots colors Sunday night after New England beat Seattle for its fourth NFL title. To make matters worse, the iconic skyscraper congratulated Bill Belidick, Tom Brady & Co. on Twitter after their wild 28-24 win. newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/02/02/new-yorkers-irked-by-empire-state-building-celebrating-patriots-title/Not sure what I think of this. I guess it's a way to get some publicity. |

Two things about this...
As a Yankee fsn, I was proud of the team for standing with Boston after the terrorist attack at the Marathon.
But the Empire State Building is a NY icon and as such should never, ever be honoring another cities sports team. Just fucking stupid.
You think any building in boston would do the same for the Jets? You know... in the unlikely event that we finally win a SB?
No
So I give a big fuck you to the ESB and I swear I will spit on it the next time I walk by it.
But... if we don't want this to happen, we need our team to step up and prevent it.

I saw this last night and it didn't feel right to me. Wouldn't say I was pissed, but it definitely felt like the NY icon should only light up team colors for NY teams. Flats**** hate aside, I wouldn't have liked this if it were lit up in Seahawks colors instead either.

At what point do these corporate politically correct pandering pussies start acting like men? Seriously, WTF is the point of this? Light it up for your local teams. Why are they trying to please everyone all the time?!
This is a disgrace and it goes right along with what I was saying about these rich white fuckers that don't do anything or know anything about culture, pride, art, emotions, anything. The only thing they know is how to make money. Just sad... this level of ball licking. If I saw that fat fucking troll I'd call him a sleazy con artist piece of shit to his stupid fat face. Fucking some young chick while pretending to adore his "beloved" whatever the fuck her name was. That's just fucking disgusting, not the act of doing it which is also gross to imagine, but that this guy has the audacity to try and put on this bullshit air of honor and chivalry... fuck you asshole. Your team is an embodiment of you, a lying sleazeball cheating while I piss on you and tell you it's raining organization. And some pandering pussy in the ESB celebrates it?
The NFL is a joke. I'm done with it. I'll hang around because I enjoy chatting with the miscreants. That is all.

Pretty sure there were some issues with getting the ESB to change colors to reflect autism awareness and another couple of diseases/disorders in the past. So, this makes perfect sense...

Obviously the moron in charge of lighting is a fair weather football fan who has no comprehension of sporting rivalries, especially NY and Boston.
It's an absolute embarrassment to the city of NY not just the Jets, just stinks of a PC corporate policy move.
Disgusting.

I can't believe what I'm seeing here(that picture)..... That's like a NJ Devils fan putting up a "Congrats NY Rangers for making it to the NHL Finals" sign on his front lawn.  Disgraceful. Whomever came up with that idea for the colors there should be flogged. |
